SMS API for Volunteer Management Platforms
Send shift reminders, welcome texts and sign-in codes straight from your platform with a simple REST API and reliable Australian delivery.
Built into your platform, not another app for volunteers to download
Volunteers don't check email between shifts. A rostering reminder buried in an inbox gets missed, and a gap on the roster is hard to fill at short notice. Australian volunteer management platforms use Mobile Message's API to send welcome texts to new sign-ups, remind rostered volunteers about their next shift and deliver sign-in codes for check-in, all triggered automatically from inside the platform.
Mobile Message gives platforms a REST API that sends from 1.6¢ per message, with no monthly fees or minimum spend so you only pay for what your customers actually send. Messages go out under your platform's own name or a shared number, and replies land back through the API or a shared team inbox so support requests don't pile up.
Shift and rostering reminders
Text a rostered volunteer the day before their shift with the time, role and who they're supporting, so fewer people forget to show up.
Welcome messages for new volunteers
Send an automatic text when someone signs up or attends for the first time, introducing them to a coordinator and making the next step obvious.
Sign-in and verification codes
Deliver one-time codes for portal logins and event check-in in seconds, so volunteers aren't stuck waiting to get in.
Membership and renewal reminders
Text people before a membership lapses so they renew and keep their access, instead of finding out when it's already expired.
Two-way replies in a shared inbox
Let volunteers reply YES to confirm a shift or ask a quick question, with every reply landing in one shared team inbox.
