What's up SaaS Masters! My name's George.
And today we're going to review slyText.
This one lets you send and receive SMS messages plus MMS messages also.
So that means you can also send and receive videos and pictures.
So in this video, I will be covering what
I like and dislike about it and covering some of the doubts that you might have.
So first of all, what type of numbers can we select?
Well, we can add the area code and select from the list that they provide.
So they let you select ten numbers from the area code that you select.
Now, there's only available Canada and US numbers.
Now, that doesn't mean that you can't use it because I'm living somewhere else.
Yes, you can still use the service.
So you can be in India, Canada, Australia,
Mexico, wherever you would like to be, and you can still send and receive
messages from that US Canada number that you selected.
So that means you can give support to your US and Canada customers.
Okay. And the other thing that you're gonna ask
yourself is that can I bring in my own number?
And yes, you can if you already have a US
number that you like to import here to use it on slyText that's also available if
you don't want to select from the list that they provide.
Okay. So let me show you what the deal is about
and the actual slyText dashboard to show you how it actually works and see
if it's a good fit for you or not, because I will be telling you what I like
and dislike about it and what's missing from it, and it might come later on.
So let's go jump over to my dashboard right now.
All right. This is the deal that's going on right
now, and it starts off at $49 for a lifetime deal.
So that means you pay once, use forever.
And if you guys would like to support me because I'm making these videos,
do consider using that link in the description.
Okay.
So what does that $49 get you let me go down here to the plan limits to show you
what you're going to get and how it actually works.
So like I mentioned before,
you get text enabled SSL to receive and sent from US and Canada only.
And $$49 gets you 1000 messages per month.
So that means every single month is going to refresh 1000 messages on license URL
one, if you need more messages, jump into license or two and license to three.
Now how are these message credits counted?
Okay, if you send a message, it's deducted.
If you receive a message, it's deducted also.
Okay. So it's two ways it deducts both ways.
And if you are using a MMS.
So if you're sending out videos, images and all that, it discounts three credits.
Okay.
Just so you understand how the credit limit works.
I think it's good limits for the price that you're paying.
Plus, it's a lifetime deal.
Okay, let me jump over to slyText, and this is the main dashboard.
I already selected a number like I
mentioned before, when you start off with slyText
and ask you what area code do you want a number?
So I added 650, which is Silicon Valley.
I thought that was fun. All right.
Makes you look more professional.
I mean, you can select from Los Angeles, New York, or whatever you want
to Select Washington, DC, and get a number from there.
Okay. And they provide you a list of ten numbers
that you can select one of them and you start using it.
That's what happened. I selected my number, and here it is.
Okay. I already tested it out.
It does work.
I'll be showing you on this video, and before I jump into this,
I want to show you what I like most about slyText.
Okay.
And what I like most about it is that I'm able to use Zapier.
Okay. I hope.
And these are the things that are missing I dislike is that they add more platforms
like Pabbly Connect Integrately, Integromat.
And basically, if they add webhook,
we could use this with any platform that we want.
But as of now, they're using Zapier.
And what I like about it, why, I think this is an interesting deal is
that I can have a form built on another platform like Kari WP forms,
whatever form I want to use and use webhook to actually connect it to.
Here just a quick test.
If I catch a hook right here,
what's going to happen is that it's going to send out a message when the hook is
received, so I can have a form when someone fills it out at their number two,
it opt in, and then I can send them messages.
Okay. And I can automate that process.
This number would be the variable from the catch hook.
I can send the message here, like, say thank you for signing up to my form.
Thank you for opting in or whatever your purchase code is.
Blah, blah blah. If you have it connected through
WooCommerce web hook, and then here a lot of things that you could do.
Okay.
And you can schedule it also if you like and continue.
That could be automated.
So when anyone is filled out of form or make the purchase on Shopify or
WooCommerce, whatever, it's gonna send out an SMS messages using slyText.
That's one of the things I like,
things like dislike about it is that they don't have, like I mentioned before other
platforms, and one thing that they should add, and I hope they do.
They watch this video and they do add it
is that they should have a field to add the CNAME.
So what's going on right now?
If I use this platform, it's going to only add the number.
So this was a test I made for Zapier, and it only added the number two,
but it didn't add the name because there's no name field on Zapier.
So if they add that, that would be awesome.
Okay, so that's the test I made.
Now let's go to the beginning.
I just want to show you what I most liked about it.
Sorry, I have the volume on, but I have it on because obviously I'm
going to be making test and I want to show you.
So if I want to add a contact, I'll click on the plus sign right here
and I can create a contact, which is simple contact.
It's name and phone number, and it's added and you can start sending out messages.
The other way I could do it is create a group and add them, obviously,
one by one, using their format or using a CSV import.
Now, if you use the CSV import, you can import it, including the variables.
So what are the variables?
Let's just say that you're importing
from somewhere else from a giveaway that you made.
Well, the giveaway might have more variables to it,
so it might have the name, the phone number, the email date of birth,
the giveaway date, and a lot of variables that you like.
Okay. And those could be added right here.
Those variables could be later on,
used in the chats, which makes things much easier and more customizable.
Okay, so let's go start with the first thing.
Okay. This is the number I've added.
I've made some tests.
I've sent out a test.
I've replied to that text, and here is an image.
I sent a link that I've sent another scheduled test, and they all work fine.
No issues on my test.
Now, I really like this.
That in this bottom footer right here.
We have our number from slyText, the remaining credits.
So I'm always viewing these.
Obviously, you have to refresh.
So it starts again and the character
count, because if it goes over 160 something, it counts as a second credit.
Second message.
So if it's longer than 160 characters, then it jumps to another credit.
Okay. Just something you have to be aware
of that I'll make sure about that number, and I'll put it here on the text.
So I'll just make a quick test right here.
Testing on video. Okay.
I can send it out.
I should be getting it.
That is my number.
Right.
Let me see.
There it is.
Testing on video.
Oh, okay, that was bad. Let me go.
Open it up. Here we go.
And here's all the tests I've been playing on.
Waiting for that too.
Well, that's not going to Zoom in, but here's all the tests that I've been
playing around with, and I'll reply, replying,
replying,
reply on video. Send out.
Okay, there we go.
I've just sent it and I haven't allowed notifications here,
so I will allow them because I want to get notified, obviously.
And another thing that I like about it is that you can if you're not open.
If you don't have the platform open or something like that, you can forward these
messages to another number that you have just in case you don't have it open.
And those settings are over here.
So if I go into settings, I'll go into Where's that dashboard?
No URL here it is here on Profile.
Okay, so on Profile, I have my number, which is already verified.
All you have to do is send a code you
verified here because it needs to know what's your number.
You're not replying to someone else to automate it.
Okay. So allow browser to show notifications.
Yes, email notifications if you would like to receive those also SSL forwarding.
So that means I can forward them to my number over here.
Let me turn this volume off now send them over here and call forwarding.
So I like that feature also.
So if someone calls that number,
it's going to forward to the number you have added already.
So I am using Hushed for this again.
That's another deal that's going on right now.
That link will be in the description,
and I already made a call to my own number from another number I have,
and it sent me to my voice messages, which that's what I have activated.
So it's pretty cool that it can forward
that one and it deducts one message credit per minute.
So I think that's pretty cool and pretty good option to have.
And that's where I add my number.
So things that I like about slyText.
Those are little things that really that count.
Okay, other things that I like about it is
that we can schedule messages right here by clicking on the schedule.
When do you want to send it out?
We get attached, image, video and audio.
You can also add emojis.
Okay, turn it off.
I select whatever.
Hey, where did I get away with the emojis?
Okay, there we go.
Turn it off and send.
Okay, so that's the basic things that you can do.
There things I haven't found here is URL auto message reply depending on a keyword
that is available on group messages, but not available here.
I don't know why, but they should add it, because if someone sends in the message
randomly here, it should respond to it depending on a keyword.
Why? Because you could do that on a group.
So on group, I'm a test group right here.
We have the smart reply.
Okay, that's what they call it.
So I just said something right here.
If someone just mentions refund, I'm going to reply this.
Please provide us blah, blah, blah number of invoice and the date of purchase.
I can add another keyword, like say, you know what?
If someone mentions, just something simple.
Hello, then I can reply high submit, and it asks that keyword replied to it.
So I like that they have this
in the groups, but you don't have that in the just general use.
One on one. Okay.
Hope they add it to the one on one.
There's also variables available.
In this case I only have two variables
because I have an import in a CSV where there's a bunch of variables.
If I would I see these variables right here.
These are cool because if I write a message to these contacts on the group,
well I could say like Hello and I would add the variable of #name.
And
how are you?
Okay, so what it's going to do is that it's going to grab the name from each
single contact and it's going to auto name it, each one of them.
So let me try to send this one out
and here we go.
Here's my name.
Hello. Comma.
How are you?
Okay, I'll Zoom in to see if you can see that, right.
But it auto added the variable to it.
If I had a bunch of variables, I would see them here.
So if I had the birthday is hey, happy birthday to everyone on this date
and they would see it with that variable and that name.
So if I want to create a group, this is where I would create it.
Also, if I want to add from the context I
have already added I can just click right here and add them through here.
Okay, so these are test.
I just add it there.
I can add more and create the group.
Just name that group testing for video.
Okay, save and now I have two groups available there.
Alright, other things that we can do is the scheduled messages.
I can view them there.
That means that if I schedule a message
on the one on one on the group, I view them here in case I want to edit
them or delete them so they don't send the auto reply.
This is a simple auto reply like I mentioned before.
I hope they add a smart reply to all the general use.
And in this case I could just make one reply and say what the message is going
to be like, hey, I'll get back to you shortly.
I'll be back soon.
I'll message you soon. Whatever, right?
But it's just one single message. And what else?
We have the opt out list if they opt out the click through report.
Nothing to show right now, but you can see the click through
the report and basically that's it for slyText.
Pretty cool system to send and receive SMS messages.
In my opinion, my personal opinion,
I think for the price that you're paying, the amount of messages that you get,
I think are pretty good for the price for it because it's a lifetime deal.
You get a bunch of messages and hopefully
they add those little things that I think are missing.
Like the smart reply.
Add more platforms instead of just using Zapier if they give us more options or
just say, hey, use Webhook, and you can use any platform that you want.
That would make life much easier for us. Okay?
And other things that I think are missing.
No, that's about it.
I think I've mentioned them on this video, but there you go, guys.
Let me know what you think about this deal.
Let me know if it's a good buy or not.
What do you think is amazing that it should have right here and there you go.
