Instead of manually typing out every customer notification or checking your phone for missed calls, your agent can handle the heavy lifting. This Connector lets you send text messages, push WhatsApp updates, and monitor your device status from your usual workspace. It's a practical way to use your existing mobile data plan for automated communications. When you add this to the Vinkius catalog, you get a reliable bridge between your AI and your actual mobile hardware. You can see which messages actually got through, manage multiple device ports, and keep your conversational threads in sync with your agent. It's about making your phone work for your business rather than you working for your phone. ## Tools ### list_connected_devices See all the Android phones currently linked to your gateway. Use this to manage your messaging fleet. ### list_missed_calls Get a log of every call you didn't pick up. This helps you prioritize your follow-up list. ### send_sms Send a standard text message from your mobile device. This is the primary way to reach customers on their phones. ### send_whatsapp Send a WhatsApp message through your connected device. This lets you use your own number for business chats. ### get_account_info Check your current usage stats and account details. It helps you keep an eye on your spending and limits. ### get_delivery_status See if a specific message actually reached the recipient. This is key for confirming important notifications. ### get_device Pull specific details about a connected Android phone. Use this to identify which gateway is currently active. ### list_contacts Get a full list of your saved mobile contacts. This makes it easier for your agent to know who it's talking to. ### list_sent_messages View a history of every message your agent has sent. It's great for auditing your communication history. ### send_mms Send a message that includes a photo or video file. This works well for sending receipts or visual confirmations. ### get_received_sms Pull the latest incoming text messages into your chat. This keeps your agent updated on what customers are saying. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Did I miss any calls from customers today? ``` **Response:** ``` I checked your call logs and you have 4 missed calls. Most were from unknown numbers, but you have 2 from your saved contacts. Would you like me to send a WhatsApp message to those two people to see if they need help? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Send a text to the last person who messaged me saying 'help'. ``` **Response:** ``` I found a message from +15550199 from 20 minutes ago asking for help. I've sent a reply via your Android gateway: 'Hi there! I see you're having some trouble. How can I help you today?' ``` **Prompt:** ``` Check if the delivery photo went through. ``` **Response:** ``` I checked the status for the MMS you sent to the customer. It shows as 'Delivered' as of 2:14 PM. The recipient has successfully received the photo of the package. ``` ## Capabilities ### Send SMS messages Trigger text messages from your phone using your own data plan. ### Send WhatsApp messages Push updates to WhatsApp contacts directly through your agent. ### Track missed calls See a log of calls you didn't answer to follow up on leads. ### Monitor device status Check if your connected Android gateway is online and ready. ### Track message delivery See exactly when a message reaches the recipient. ### Manage multi-port gateways Handle messages across different devices to keep delivery high. ## Use Cases ### Replying to customer inquiries A customer asks for a status update. The agent uses get_received_sms to read the text and then send_sms to reply with the current order location. ### Following up on missed leads A lead calls while the owner is busy. The agent checks list_missed_calls every hour and send_whatsapp to let the lead know someone will call them back soon. ### Sending personalized sale updates The agent uses send_whatsapp to reach out to a list of contacts found via list_contacts to share the news. ### Sending visual confirmations The agent triggers send_mms with a photo of the package and then uses get_delivery_status to confirm it arrived. ## Benefits - Use your own mobile plan for send_sms and send_whatsapp to avoid the high per-message costs of enterprise gateways. - Keep your records accurate by using get_received_sms to bring incoming texts directly into your AI conversation. - Never miss a lead by using list_missed_calls to automatically identify who needs a callback. - Verify your outreach with get_delivery_status to see exactly when a message was received by the customer. - Manage your hardware easily with list_connected_devices to see which phones are online and ready to send. - Send rich media like images or videos with send_mms to provide a more interactive experience for your users. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a direct line from your AI to your mobile carrier's network. 1. Connect your account by grabbing your API key from the SMS Mobile API dashboard. 2. Link your Android device to the gateway to establish the connection. 3. Start giving your agent instructions to send texts or check your call logs. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use my own phone number with the SMS Mobile API?** Yes, this Connector connects your AI agent to your actual Android device. This means you can send and receive messages using your own mobile data plan and phone number instead of a secondary business line. **Does the SMS Mobile API work for WhatsApp?** It does. The Connector allows your agent to send WhatsApp messages through your connected mobile device, making it a great way to manage your personal or business WhatsApp account. **How do I know if my messages are actually being delivered?** You can ask your agent to check the delivery status for any specific message. The Connector pulls this data directly from your mobile gateway so you can confirm the recipient got it. **Can the SMS Mobile API help me track missed calls?** Yes, it can pull a log of your missed calls. This helps you see who tried to reach you while you were away so you can follow up on those leads quickly. **Is this good for a small business with high text volume?** It's great for high-touch, conversational messaging. If you need to send thousands of texts at once, a dedicated API might be better, but for personalized customer support, this is a perfect fit. **Do I need to keep my phone turned on?** Since this Connector uses your Android device as a gateway, your phone needs to stay powered on and connected to the internet for the agent to send or receive messages. **How do I find my SMSMobileAPI Key?** Log in to the [**SMS Mobile API web dashboard**](https://smsmobileapi.com/dashboard) or open the Android app and navigate to the Settings or Help section to find your unique API Key.
