Set up and manage Email to SMS

vurl:

Email to SMS lets you send and receive text messages directly from your email inbox. It is useful for sending SMS without logging in to Textmagic, forwarding important email notifications as text messages, and integrating SMS into existing email workflows.


Add allowed emails

Allowed emails are email addresses that can send Email to SMS messages using your Textmagic account.

  1. Go to Services → Email to SMS.
  2. Click Add allowed emails.
    Set up Email to SMS
  3. Add email addresses that you own or control, one per line.

Important to know: If an email address does not belong to you, use an SMS Distribution List instead of Email to SMS.

Your email addresses will appear in the Allowed emails list, where you can see when each address was added and when the last message was sent.


Edit or delete allowed emails

  1. Go to Services → Email to SMS.
  2. Find the email address you want to change → Click the More icon.
    Edit allowed emails
  3. Edit the settings or delete the email address. If editing, click Save.
Important to know: You cannot send a sub-account invitation to an email address that is already in the Email to SMS allowed list. Delete the email address from the allowed list before inviting the team member.
