How does Broadcast work?

Broadcast lets you deliver custom text messages to groups of customers with a tap. Unlike group texting—where each message is delivered to every member of the group—the Broadcast tool from Index delivers separate messages to your intended recipients. They won’t know that anybody else received your message and their replies will be sent to you in a normal 1:1 text thread. To get started:

Once you’ve got your Broadcast message set up, just hit send and let Index work its magic. It’s great for company announcements, hours updates, employee communication, and much more. For additional information about business texting, please be sure to review our Broadcast Compliance FAQ.
