What is an SMS marketing platform's 'flow builder' used for?
Answer: Visually designing automated message sequences triggered by subscriber actions or timing
A flow builder is a visual automation tool that lets marketers map out multi-step SMS sequences—triggered by events like sign-up, purchase, or inactivity—without writing code.
What does 'two-way SMS messaging' enable that one-way broadcast messaging does not?
Answer: Real-time back-and-forth conversations between the brand and individual subscribers
Two-way SMS allows subscribers to reply and receive responses, enabling conversational commerce, customer support, surveys, and interactive campaigns rather than just one-directional broadcasts.
What is 'MMS' and how does it differ from standard SMS in marketing use cases?
Answer: MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) allows sending images, GIFs, and video in messages, while SMS is text only
MMS extends standard SMS by supporting rich media content (images, GIFs, audio, short video), making it ideal for product showcases, seasonal creative, and more visually engaging campaigns.
What is a 'chatbot' integration in an SMS marketing platform used for?
Answer: Automating personalized responses to common subscriber replies using AI or rule-based logic
SMS chatbots handle inbound subscriber replies automatically using predefined rules or AI, enabling brands to answer FAQs, qualify leads, and complete simple transactions at scale without human agents.
What is the purpose of 'conditional splits' in SMS automation workflows?
Answer: To route subscribers into different message paths based on their behavior, attributes, or responses
Conditional splits evaluate subscriber data (e.g., past purchase, location, response) at a branch point in an automation flow and direct each subscriber down the most relevant path.
Which SMS platform feature helps manage inbound replies from multiple subscriber conversations in one interface?
Answer: Shared inbox or conversation view
A shared inbox aggregates all inbound subscriber replies into a single dashboard, allowing support or marketing teams to view, respond to, and manage conversations efficiently.
