- do you need internet access for that?by parsatomosu
- If you run a website or SaaS product, reaching your users on their phones usually means SMS or building a mobile app just so you can send push notifications.
We built The Notifier as a better option.
Our developer API lets your web app broadcast important alerts to users through The Notifier app. Users join your alert group and your app broadcasts alerts that arrive as push notifications on their phones.
The API is available to all accounts, including our free Developer accounts. Give it a try and experience how The Notifier is more effective, while maintaining the privacy you expect for yourself.
by bubbamack - So.. like a telegram/whatsapp/signal/some other IM, but one way only?
One could achieve the same with a Telegram bot, right? And unlike your app, which must be installed separately, there are already 1 billion users who already have the app installed.
by theamk - Neat idea, but all it does is give you control over messaging my users instead of me. They need to use your app maintained by you. That’s a huge risk when SMS “just works”.
The messages are also limited to text and links, so no MMS.
Customers stopped trusting email because it became overloaded with spam. The incentive from loyalty programs (which is my primary use case) keeps trust high for SMS.
