    Introduction

    Are you finding it challenging to communicate with your customers with these multiple devices?

    What if your laptop or desktop had a single app that could help you send SMS messages to a customer with a single click?
     

    Telnyx is a communication network that interconnects with local carriers for global communications. Telnyx can be used for voice, messaging, voice API, and networking solutions. The API’s are designed for fast integration that enables messaging capabilities. 

    You can use the Vtiger CRM + Telnyx integration to send SMS messages from all your SMS-enabled Vtiger modules directly to your contacts via the Telnyx delivery network.
