SMTP Protocol: Converting Emails into SMS
How does the SMTP protocol allow an email to be converted into an SMS? With smsmode, the SMTP-to-SMS feature makes it easy to convert emails into SMS messages. This solution is ideal for businesses that want to send information, alerts, or notifications by SMS directly from their email systems.
Here’s how it works:
1) Sending via SMTP
When an email is sent to a dedicated address configured by smsmode, the message is received by the smsmode server.
2) Automatic conversion
smsmode automatically converts the incoming email into an SMS message.
The email body becomes the SMS content, and key elements are extracted to ensure good readability on mobile devices.
3) SMS delivery
Once converted, smsmode sends the message to the recipient as an SMS using the appropriate messaging routes.
This ensures fast and reliable delivery, even for users who don’t have direct access to their email.
4) Flexibility and customization
smsmode allows you to configure specific options for each conversion, including:
-
SMS length management (splitting long messages when needed)
-
Sender customization (alphanumeric sender ID or dedicated number depending on the destination)
-
Priority settings for urgent notifications
This solution is particularly useful for urgent alerts, reminders, and real-time notifications that are initially generated by email, but need to reach end users instantly via SMS.
