Automatic SMS sending examples

Text message automations work for most repetitive texting tasks across all of your teams. With enhanced automations and rich custom fields, you can automate everything from welcome texts and order updates to re-engagement campaigns and personalized follow-ups.

Opt-in confirmations

Ensure that leads and customers mean to sign up for your SMS services with an automated opt-in confirmation.

CRM automations

CRM automations work across Heymarket and your CRM platforms, like Hubspot and Salesforce. When you set up an automation between the two platforms, one will be able to take an action based on a trigger in the other. There are two main automations you can create with a CRM automation:

How to send automatic text messages

Simplify workflows by either scheduling texts or creating automations.
Here’s how to send automatic text messages in Heymarket:

01. Capture opt ins

Create a keyword that subscribers can text to opt in, or secure opt-ins from your website forms to build your contact list. Remember: only text those who have opted in.

02. Create segmented lists

Build better relationships by creating lists that help you target groups of contacts for improved personalization.

03. Draft reusable templates

Create message templates with custom fields like name, appointment date, or loyalty tier. Use these templates in drip campaigns, FAQs, auto-replies, and other automations.

04. Set your triggers

Choose what initiates the message. Start automations based on keywords, time delays, missed replies, or changes to contact fields (like “Status” or “Last order date”).

05. Define your actions

Choose what the automation should do, like send a message, assign a teammate, schedule a delay, add a tag, or send a survey. Chain multiple actions together to build full customer workflows.

06. Test and launch

Preview messages with test contacts to confirm your logic and timing. Then activate your automation to run any time the trigger is met.

Want to learn more about how to send automatic text messages? Find answers to some common questions below. Reach out to our team for additional tips and information.

Yes. You’ll need help from an automatic text message sender, which is part of a business messaging platform.

Once triggered, the auto SMS sender feature sends the text or completes the action.

In your business messaging platform, choose a trigger (like a keyword, missed reply, or field update), then select the action and build your message template. Once activated, your SMS automation will send the right message at the right time.

An auto SMS sender typically handles simple tasks like scheduled or one-time sends. Advanced platforms offer automated text messages for businesses with full workflow automation, including logic branches, delays, and field-based triggers for more strategic communication.

iPhones allow you to schedule texts. However, to create more advanced automations on iPhone, you’ll need a business messaging platform’s help. Some platforms offer mobile apps that you can use on either iPhones or Android devices to send automated text messages for business.
