SMS & Text Conversations
Texting on the numbers you already call from. A conversation is keyed to the pair of numbers rather than to an inbox, so the thread sits beside the calls to that contact instead of in a second app nobody opens.

How it works.
One thread per pair of numbers
A conversation is your number and theirs, held unique, so there is one thread rather than a new one per rep. It joins a lead by matching any of the four phone fields on the record, mobile and direct line alike.
It sits with the calls
The record's touchpoint feed merges texts with calls, voicemails and email into one list that filters down to texts alone, so a rep reads the message in the order it happened rather than in a separate inbox.
Written by a flow node
SMS is a node in the call flow builder, addressed to the caller who just rang unless you change it, and a step in the sequence builder. Both take a body with variables in it, so a missed-call text is a branch.
A thread outlives the match
A conversation exists from the first message whether or not that number is on a record yet. The join is made when the record is read, so adding the number to a lead later brings the whole thread with it.
Two moments in every call.
Every call passes through the same seven. SMS & Text Conversations is the lit ones, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.
- 01Number
the line it arrives on or leaves from
- 02Route
where the call is sent and to whom
- 03Dial
placing it, and how many at once
- 04Connect
the moment a person picks up
- 05Talk
while the conversation is happening
- 06Wrap
the code, the notes, the next step
- 07Record
what is kept, and where it is kept
The specifics.
8 facts- Threading
- One conversation per pair of numbers, yours and theirs, held unique
- Matching
- A thread meets a lead on any of its four phone fields, mobile included
- States
- Queued, sent, delivered, failed and received, with the error kept on the message
- Sent from
- A node in a call flow, a step in a sequence, or the conversation endpoint
- Attachments
- Text only. MMS is off on numbers as issued, so a message carries no image
- Registration
- The 10DLC brand and campaign sit with Adoptiv; you do not file with the registry
- Prohibited uses
- Third-party collections, debt relief and credit repair. Consent does not lift it
- Opt-out
- Do-not-text is a field on the contact. Keyword replies are not actioned for you
Where the call goes next.
A call is a chain of decisions, and this is one link in it. These are the ones either side.

21 capabilitiesFlows, queues, oversight and compliance screening on media we operate.
Three states of one connection. Hear the call, coach the rep without the customer knowing, or join outright - and the audio path redraws as you switch.
Open more lines than you have reps, paced against live answer rates, and hold the abandonment cap you set. Every connect opens the record it belongs to.
Set the mode per campaign. Preview lets a rep read the record first, autodial moves on after wrap-up, and power opens several lines per agent.
Detection listens to the first moments of a connect and drops greetings, dead air and IVR trees. What lands in a headset is a person who said hello.
Build the menu callers hear as a step in the flow, with fifteen starting templates from a plain auto-attendant to compliance-screened inbound.
Welcome audio, hold music, periodic announcements and four separate overflow destinations, so a queue never simply runs out of places to send a call.
Ring all, hunt, fewest calls, random, round robin with memory, or strict priority order. Change how a queue behaves without rebuilding it.
Match a caller to the agents who can actually help, on all, any or weighted skill matching, with a failover destination when nobody qualifies.
Offer a callback after a wait threshold or a queue position, hold the caller's place, and dedupe requests so nobody gets rung twice for one problem.
Flag a lead VIP and they skip the welcome, bypass the queue cap and reach an agent first - with ageing, so that ordinary callers never starve behind them.
Hand a call over cold, or consult first and then connect. Merge into a three-way and step out, leaving the other two talking without a drop.
Each side of the call is recorded on its own channel, so who said what is a fact rather than a guess - and the transcript inherits that separation.
Wrap-up codes that do something. Twenty-six behaviours fire off a disposition: raise a task, book a callback, set do-not-call, flag the wrong party.
The number most likely to be answered is chosen per call, ranked on the history with this lead, the overall answer rate, recency and area-code affinity.
Screen callers against Federal DNC, known TCPA litigators and your own internal list - as drag-and-drop steps inside the flow, before anyone is reached.
Numbers in the countries you operate in, drawn from four carrier providers, so opening a new market is a purchase rather than a procurement project.
Every rep gets an extension and a browser phone, and can move a call between the browser and a desk phone mid-conversation without dropping it.
Organisation, team and personal mailboxes with their own access rules and greetings, and every message transcribed and attached to the right record.
Reusable weekly schedules and holiday calendars in your own timezone, so out-of-hours routing is a setting rather than a flow you rebuild each December.
Every call in progress on one screen, pushed as it changes rather than polled, with the agent, the number presented and the queue each one came through.
Upload a recording, record one in the browser, or generate it from text in a chosen brand voice - then use it in any flow, queue or mailbox.
