How TextAlerts.ai works

TextAlerts.ai routes business events into SMS alerts and maps replies back to actions. Use it for approvals, escalations, reminders, failed workflows, and agent-human handoffs.

The loop

  • An event arrives from a connected app or agent.
  • TextAlerts.ai scores its urgency by source, impact, and your rules.
  • If it clears the bar, a concise SMS alert is generated with context.
  • You reply with a number or command.
  • The mapped action runs and the audit log updates.

Reply commands

Every alert offers a subset of these, depending on the rule:

  • approve — proceed with the recommended action.
  • reject — decline; nothing happens.
  • assign — hand off to a teammate.
  • snooze — defer and re-alert later.
  • escalate — push to a higher-priority channel or person.
  • custom — trigger a workflow you’ve defined.

Alert rules

Each rule defines a source, a trigger, an urgency level, whether SMS is enabled, and which replies are allowed. You can scope rules per integration or per agent.

Status & opt-out

Check current service status on the status page. You can stop SMS at any time by replying STOP. Full data handling is covered in the privacy policy.
