Q: 1.
Zapier issue,
Zapier + Textnock not workable.
Zapier said it pass data to Textnock successfully, but Textnock did
not send SMS.
I recently investigated a lot on SMS automation with my auto responder system (Activecampaign).
Since Textnock is LTD deal (in Appsumo), it means to send SMS in long term almost no cost.
But it still cost Zapier's Zap to send SMS. Which is not cheap, 1 Zap's cost = 20USD(month fee) /1000=0.02USD.
And I need 2 Zap (0.04USD) to send a single SMS. (see here https://zapier.com/shared/8d6d34a6f0d1b775c164c06eeaae8f4d21ba36dc )
I found a better way to send SMS via Textnock + Activecampaign (and any other auto responder system, like Awber or Getresponse or Mailchimp).
Which is Email2SMS.
Auto responder can send a notification to SMS's specific email address, and then SMS system (like Textnock) will send a SMS directly.
I think you know Email2SMS technology, please consider that.
Which is better than Zapier integration and it can been trigger by autoresponder’s notification email easily.
FYI: google "Email2SMS"
2. Since I can use Excel uploading function to send custom SMS with name inside. I think personalize function is not so important.
Please put Email2SMS in a higher priority.
(also, if email2sms works, then personalization is not important anymore)
**I think the a lot of Sumo-ling use this kind auto responder. If you provide this service and function, I think there will more people buy your product. **
3. Question,
I would like to invest more Appsumo's code on Textnock.
Will you increase the credit vs SMS's rate in the future?
Will you bankrupt after Appsumo's 60 day money back period?
Please let me know.
I am afraid you can not afford the LTD's cost and close your service in a short time.
Thank you very much.
