What is Transactional SMS

Critical alerts that customers expect and trust

Transactional SMS is a category of SMS messaging used to send important, time-sensitive information to customers. These messages are triggered by a specific customer action or business event — a purchase, login, bank transaction, appointment or delivery update.

Unlike promotional SMS, transactional messages can be delivered to DND-registered numbers 24×7 without any time restrictions — because they carry information the customer has directly requested or needs as part of a transaction.
