Send iMessage, SMS or WhatsApp with /text. Customer replies post in a channel, one thread per contact, and your whole team can answer from the thread.
Click Add to Slack, pick the channel where customer replies should go, and approve.
Create a free iBlueText account (no card) or sign in to yours. One click.
Type /text with a number and a message. Replies land in your channel; answer in the thread.
Type /text with a phone number and a message in any channel to send it as iMessage to iPhones or SMS to everyone else (or WhatsApp with /text wa). Customer replies post in the channel you pick, one thread per contact, and anyone on your team can reply in the thread to text them back.
Your own iBlueText line, the same number every time, so people can save it and text back. Replies also show in your iBlueText inbox and phone app.
Only the channel you pick for texts and the threads it starts there. It reads replies typed in those threads so it can send them, and ignores every other message.
No. Texts go out from real phone lines that iBlueText runs for you, or from your own Mac.
The Slack app is free. Every new iBlueText account gets free trial texts with no card. To text from your own dedicated number, a line is $99 a month hosted by us or $29 a month on your own Mac.
Anyone who replies STOP is never texted again, even if someone tries from Slack.
Click Disconnect in iBlueText's Slack settings or remove the app in Slack. We stop posting right away and erase the workspace's data 10 days later.
