Textiful

Grow your email list by text message

Visit Textiful

Textiful is a text-to-subscribe service that collects information such as email addresses, names, zip codes and company details from audiences at live events via SMS. Captured data can sync automatically to email marketing platforms or be exported at any time.

The service works by assigning a keyword to a number (short code or 10-digit), building a message campaign to collect desired information, and capturing responses as the audience texts the keyword. Features include SMS and MMS broadcast messaging, Text to Vote polling, automated drip campaigns, and scheduling. Integrations include Mailchimp, ConvertKit, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, Aweber, Campaign Monitor, Constant Contact, Drip, Emma, Infusionsoft by Keap, Iterable, MailerLite, Salesforce, Simplero, and Sendlane, with additional apps connected through Zapier. Numbers are supported in the US and Canada.

Textiful is aimed at organizations collecting audience information at live events, including public speakers, bands, churches, podcasts, trade shows, and eCommerce brands. Packaging includes an on-demand free plan with one keyword on a 10-digit number and pay-as-you-go message credits, as well as paid editions (Essential, Small Business, Medium Business, Large Business, Corporate) that vary by monthly email capture limits, keyword counts, and outgoing message allowances. Message credits do not expire, and custom plans are available.
