Once you’ve scheduled your message, TextSpot will send it by itself to the recipients you chose, without you having to lift another finger!

    Autoresponders

    Autoresponders are texts that automatically send a reply to someone who texts you without needing to type to each one individually. This way, even if someone sends a question to your texting line in the middle of the night, the autoresponder will be able to answer for you.

    Many autoresponders can ask specific questions to gather information about what the person texting might need. This way, the autoresponder can determine what to do next based on the keywords they use, without you having to send each response.

    Mass Texts

    Mass texts allow you to send messages to a large number or list of contacts all at the same time. The difference is a matter of scale—when you schedule mass text messages, you could potentially send them to hundreds or even tens of thousands of people at a set point in the future.
