Connect iBlueText to Lofty and every new lead gets a friendly blue-bubble iMessage, SMS or WhatsApp from a dedicated number while they're still looking at homes. Every text and reply is logged on the lead's Lofty timeline.

On the settings page, add your name and brokerage, adjust the wording and send yourself a test. New leads are texted from then on.
The moment a lead lands in Lofty, they get your welcome text. Fill-ins: {first_name} {agent} {company}.
Every text you send and every reply is added to the lead's timeline in Lofty, marked "via iBlueText".
Blue bubbles to iPhones and SMS to everyone else, picked automatically. Or choose one channel, including WhatsApp.
Skips leads marked can't-text, Do Not Call and invalid numbers, plus anyone who replied STOP. Each lead is texted once.
Answer from the iBlueText inbox on the web or in our iPhone and Android apps.
Use a line we host for you ($99/mo), or run your own number on your own Mac ($29/mo). WhatsApp on your own phones $19/mo per 5 numbers, or hosted from $49/mo.
Two things. It texts every new Lofty lead within seconds, using your own wording, and it logs every text you send and every reply you get on the lead's timeline in Lofty, so your whole team sees the conversation.
Both, picked automatically for each lead. iPhones get a blue iMessage and everyone else gets a regular SMS. You can also choose iMessage only, SMS only, or WhatsApp.
A dedicated iBlueText line, the same number every time, so leads can save it and text back. On a self-hosted line it's your own number on your own Mac. Before you add a line, free trial texts go out from our shared demo number.
Leads marked "can't text" in Lofty, numbers Lofty flags as Do Not Call or invalid, and anyone who has replied STOP. Each lead gets the welcome text once, even if Lofty sends the same lead again.

The Lofty integration is free. Every new iBlueText account gets free trial texts with no card. A dedicated line is $99 a month hosted by us, or $29 a month on your own Mac. WhatsApp also comes both ways: on your own phones for $19 a month per block of 5 numbers (self-hosted), or a number we host for $49 a month on a line or $99 a month on its own. Mix and match any way you like.
Click Disconnect on the settings page. We stop texting new leads and remove our webhook from your Lofty account right away, and erase the stored Lofty data 10 days later.
