A shared SMS inbox in Slack

Give your whole team one business number. Customers text it, and anyone in the channel can answer, from the place your team already talks.

How it works

Set it up in three steps

Most teams finish in under 10 minutes.

  1. 1

    Add SMS to Slack

    Install the app in your Slack workspace. The trial needs no card.

  2. 2

    Pick a number

    Choose a local area code, a number in another country, or bring your own number.

  3. 3

    Choose a channel

    Texts to the number arrive in that channel. Reply in the thread to answer.

Benefits

Why a shared inbox beats a shared phone

No shared phones or passwords.
Nobody hands a personal phone around, and nobody shares a login.
One thread per conversation.
The full history stays together, so a teammate can take over at any time.
Everyone sees what is answered.
The thread shows each reply, so two people do not answer the same text.
No extra app.
Texts arrive with the Slack notifications your team already gets.
Pay per number, not per person.
Add as many teammates to the channel as you need.

Much more than text

Photos, group messages, contacts and voicemails, all in the same channel.

Photos, audio and video.

MMS arrives in the same thread as the text, so the whole conversation stays in one place.

Group messages.

Text several people at once, where the number supports it.

Voicemails in the same channel.

Two-way texting, threads and group messages depend on the number you choose and its country. US numbers may need an approved 10DLC campaign before replies are delivered.
