ConnextSMS commands
Run mass texting from any phone
Send blasts, place calls, and manage contacts with simple text commands — no app, no login, and no internet or data needed.
You shouldn't need a laptop to send an alert
Emergencies don't wait for you to find Wi-Fi and log in. App-based tools fail exactly when you're on the road, low on battery, or handing the phone to a volunteer who's never seen the dashboard.
- Can't send an alert without opening an app and logging in
- Useless when data or Wi-Fi is unavailable
- Volunteers need training just to send one message
- Locked out on an old or borrowed phone
If you can send a text, you can run Connext
A full command set that works from the native messaging app on any phone.
Blast by text command
Text SEND, TEXT, CALL, EMAIL, or RECORD to fire off messages and calls to a group, a range, or everyone.
No app, no data
Commands travel over plain SMS, so there's nothing to install and no internet connection required.
Manage contacts by text
Use ADD, DELETE, and UPDATE to change your lists on the fly, and target by group numbers, ranges, labels, or ALL.
Even a flip phone works
Because commands ride on ordinary SMS, you can run your entire operation from a basic phone with no data plan. Perfect for emergencies, field staff, and volunteers.
