Forward third-party email alerts as text messages

With Textmagic distribution lists, you can easily forward email alerts as text messages. Your app sends an email to the distribution list email address, which is then converted to a text message and delivered to everyone on the distribution list.

Any email address can send messages to your distribution list. Textmagic does not check the Email-to-SMS allowed list when forwarding emails to your distribution list.
