Short answer

How can I send and track SMS using my AI?

Your AI uses Plivo to trigger text messages to any global number and then checks the delivery status of those messages. You get a clear view of which texts landed and which failed.

The outcomes

What you can accomplish

The AI handles the heavy lifting of messaging and status checks.

OUTBOUND

Global text delivery

Your AI sends messages to phone numbers worldwide. It handles the connection to Plivo so you don't have to manage API calls manually.

TRACKING

Real-time status updates

The AI checks if your messages were delivered, failed, or are still pending. You'll know exactly what happened with every text.

AUDIT

Message history logs

Your AI can pull lists of previous messages. This helps you keep a record of what was sent and when.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a message fails or a recipient replies, the AI flags the issue for you. You decide how to handle failed deliveries or customer responses.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a text.

The AI moves from drafting the message to confirming it actually reached the phone.

  1. Trigger the message

    The AI sends the text content to the specified phone number immediately.

  2. Check delivery status

    The AI looks up the specific status of the message you just sent.
