Let customers answer your messages, ask questions and confirm appointments in real time.

With two-way messaging, customers can reply to your messages instead of just reading them. A reminder becomes a confirmation, a notification becomes a conversation.

Replies can be routed to your systems, a chatbot or your team, using the customized message flows of the ZafeConnect platform.

Key capabilities:
- **Replies that matter:** Receive customer answers and act on them automatically.
- **Flows and bots:** Route replies into automated flows or to a person.
- **Opt-out handling:** Respect customers’ choices and stay compliant.
- **Across channels:** Works with SMS and rich channels such as RCS where available.

Typical use cases:
- Confirm, cancel or reschedule appointments
- Surveys and feedback requests
- Customer service conversations
