Short answer

How can I send and track SMS with my AI?

Your AI uses Plivo to fire off outbound texts and then pulls the specific message data to see if it was delivered. You get a clear view of delivery success and message history.

The outcomes.

What you get from this task.

The AI handles the messaging loop so you don't have to manually check logs.

OUTBOUND

Instant text delivery

The AI sends the message to the phone number you provide. It handles the API call so the text goes out immediately.

STATUS

Delivery verification

The AI checks if the message actually reached the handset. You'll know if it was delivered or if it failed.

HISTORY

Message logs

The AI can pull a list of recent messages. This lets you audit your recent outbound activity at once.

HUMAN

Manual follow-up

If the AI reports a delivery failure, you decide how to respond. The AI flags the error so you can step in.
