SMS automation in APEX sends follow-up texts automatically when a trigger fires — a new contact, a form submission, a reply or a status change — following a sequence you build on a drag-and-drop canvas. Build the follow-up your top closer would run once, and it runs for every lead.
Build sequences on a canvas you can actually read. Triggers, delays, branches, and messages — wire them up the way you think.
If they reply, route to a human. If they click, send the quote. If they go cold, drop them in a re-engagement loop. All automatic.
Stop rules, quiet hours, opt-out handling, and reply detection are built-in. Your sequences stay safe even when you sleep.
