NewMercury, our AI support assistant, is built in

Business texting that actually reaches people.

Send and receive SMS from a shared team inbox, straight from your email, or from your code. Consent, 10DLC registration and quiet hours are handled on every single send — not left to you.

No credit card. Text your own phone in about two minutes.

The part nobody else has

Send a text by sending an email.

Email number@txt.mercurysend.com and it goes out as an SMS. The reply comes back to your inbox. No new app for the dispatcher, no training for the front desk, no tab to keep open.

  • Works from any mail clientOutlook, Gmail, a scanner, a CRM that can only send email.
  • Authorize a person or a whole domainOptional shared password and a daily cap per sender.
  • Signatures and quoted replies strippedThe recipient gets the message, not the email furniture.
  • Gated exactly like the APISame consent, campaign, quiet-hours and metering checks.

Everything in one place

One platform for every text your business sends.

One-to-one conversations, one-to-many broadcasts, automations that fire on their own, and the operational screens the work actually needs.

Shared inbox

Every conversation, in front of the whole team

Inbound and outbound in one live thread, with the context beside it: consent state, topic, spend to date, who's handling it. No more business texts on someone's personal phone.

  • Live updates, no refresh
  • Assignment and internal notes
  • AI reply drafts and thread summaries

My A/C isn't working. Can someone come out today?
Happy to help. We have a 2–4pm window — want me to book it?
Yes please, 2pm works.

Broadcasts and segments

See the cost and the consequences before you send

Build an audience from rules or a list, then get the real numbers up front — recipients, segments, estimated cost, who's excluded and why. Throttled so you don't burst into carrier filtering.

  • Per-recipient gating, not a bulk override
  • Quiet hours hold and release automatically
  • Cancel while queued

Automations and dispatch

The texts that should send themselves

Trigger on an inbound keyword, a new contact, a consent change, or a job moving to assigned — then send, tag, route, or wait. Dispatch teams get jobs, drivers and trucks with tracking links built in.

  • Trigger → conditions → actions
  • Driver and customer notifications on assignment
  • GPS location requests over SMS
Whena job moves to Assignedthen
Thentext the driver the job detailsthen
Andtext the customer a tracking linkthen
Thenafter completion, ask for a review
Automation sends are still sends: same gate, same metering, same audit trail.
Smart search and history

Answer “what did we send this person?” in one keystroke

Press ⌘K and type what you want to do, a name, or a phone number in any format — brackets, dashes, or just the last four digits. Any number opens its full history, exportable as CSV or JSON.

  • Type an intention: “send a message” lands on Compose
  • Every message either direction, with carrier error codes
  • Exports are audited; numbers never travel in a URL

Compliance

The rules are the hard part. We took them off your desk.

Carriers block what they don't trust, and the paperwork to become trusted is where most texting projects die. Ours is filed, monitored, and fixed for you — and the gate that protects you runs on every send, from every surface.

10DLC, done for you

We draft your brand and campaign, file them, watch the status, and self-heal the common rejections. US long-code traffic needs this; you shouldn't have to learn it.

Australia handled too

ACMA Sender ID Register requirements are managed the same way, tracked the same way.

STOP is absolute

Opt-outs are deterministic and irreversible by us — only the contact can undo one. No override, no “just this once”.

Quiet hours held, never dropped

Promotional sends outside the recipient's daytime window wait and then go. Nothing is silently binned.

One choke point, every surface. A send from the API, the inbox, an automation, a broadcast or an email all pass the same checks — and each decision is written to your audit log.

Why didn't my invoice text go out?
Three sends were refused this week: two consent_missing and one quiet_hours. The quiet-hours one is held and will send at 8am local — nothing to do.

AI, built in

Ask your account a question. Get an answer, not a manual.

Mercury is the support assistant inside the app. It can see your plan, credits, sender and registration status, and what the compliance gate has actually been refusing — so it answers about your account, then links you to the screen that fixes it.

Drafts and replies
Compose from a one-line intent; grounded reply suggestions in the inbox.
Thread summaries
Hand a long conversation to a teammate without reading it aloud.
10DLC autopilot
The registration paperwork drafted, filed and corrected by AI.
Sentiment routing
Urgent and unhappy inbound flagged for a human — advisory only, never overriding STOP.

AI here only ever drafts. Nothing it produces skips the consent gate, and it can never clear an opt-out.

Developers

A REST API you can hold in your head.

Prefixed ids, snake_case JSON, structured errors with a doc link and a request id, and idempotency keys that mean a retry can never double-send or double-bill. 422 is reserved for “the platform is protecting you”.

Send, schedule, and read state
POST /v1/messages, cursor-paginated lists, per-message delivery receipts.
Signed webhooks with a delivery log
Message status, inbound, opt-out, campaign status — payloads are metadata-only.

Who it's for

Built for the teams that run on texts.

Operational messaging, not marketing theatre: the message that has to arrive because someone is waiting on it.

Dispatch & towing

“Your driver is 10 minutes out.”

Assign a job and the driver gets the details while the customer gets a live tracking link. Ask for a GPS pin when an address is vague.

Clinics & practices

Reminders that actually get read

Appointment reminders and follow-ups from a shared inbox, with consent recorded per topic and quiet hours respected automatically.

Property & trades

One number the whole team answers

Maintenance requests, access codes and arrival windows — off personal phones and onto a thread anyone on shift can pick up.

Text your own phone in the next two minutes.

The free trial starts by sending a real text to your own number and letting you reply to it — on the same endpoints your customers will hit. No demo data, no sandbox pretending.

No credit card to start. Paid plans are month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
