With free access to the In-App Messaging API, there’s no reason to look elsewhere for your messaging needs.
The AT&T Send Message skill lets you send texts from Alexa-enabled devices, such as the Amazon Echo, using In-App Messaging.*
More Use Cases
Ordering
Create an immersive ordering experience, and then let your users place orders using the mobile number right from your app. They just have to consent once, and then it's transparent—and easy. This is great for restaurants or any company that wants to allow their customers to "order before you go."
Reservations
Allow your customers to share reservations with their friends and family. Plus, they can send images of hotels and vacation spots they like directly from your website before the trip is booked. The message is sent from a user's mobile number, so the recipient recognizes who it's from before the message is opened.
Social Sharing
Use In-App Messaging as another way for users of your social site to share information with their friends and family. With the ability to share with up to 10 recipients, it's an easy way for users to get the word out to their most important contacts.
News & Entertainment
Users can share news, audio, video, and pictures from within your news or entertainment-related application.
By adding text messaging as a click-to-share option, you can provide your users with a familiar option for sharing information.
