SMSMobile : A Unique Mobile App for SMS Automation

Unlike traditional SMS tools, our mobile app is truly unique
— it lets you both send and receive SMS messages directly from your phone and seamlessly connect them to our powerful API.
It's the perfect bridge between your mobile and your digital workflows.

🔧 How It Works

Our mobile app runs in the background and listens for incoming SMS messages on your device.
Once a message is received, it is automatically made available through our secure REST API and can also be viewed on your personal dashboard.

As soon as the app is installed and your account is linked to your mobile device, a unique API key is automatically generated and securely associated with your phone.
Simply use this API key in your requests to start interacting with the API. For enhanced security, OAuth2 authentication is also available as an option.

📩 Enhanced SMS Management – Go Beyond Basic Reception

This feature takes your SMS management to the next level.
With our powerful mobile app, every SMS received on your phone can be instantly connected to our secure API — but that’s just the beginning!

By default, SMSMobileAPI offers advanced features such as:

SMS Forwarding: Automatically forward each incoming SMS to another mobile number — ideal when you're unavailable or using a shared number.
Email Notifications: Instantly send a copy of each SMS (including the message content, sender’s number, and timestamp) to one or multiple email addresses.
AI Auto-Response with ChatGPT: Connect incoming messages to ChatGPT and automatically reply based on your predefined rules and AI prompts.
Zapier Integration: Easily link incoming SMS with thousands of other tools using our Zapier module — perfect for automation and no-code workflows.

You can go even further by building your own custom scripts or automations using our flexible and developer-friendly API.
The possibilities are endless — tailor your SMS experience to fit your exact needs.

Simply configure your webhook URL in your dashboard, and we’ll POST new messages to it in JSON format:

{
"date": "2025-01-20",
"hour": "10:15:00",
"time_received": "2025-01-20 10:14:50",

📘 Webhook integration guide available. Secure delivery using HTTPS and JSON.

🚫 Give Your Contacts the Power to Opt-Out

You can now activate the OPT-OUT feature from your SMSMobileAPI dashboard to respect your contacts' preferences and stay compliant.

When a contact replies with STOP, they are automatically blacklisted — no further SMS will be sent to them.
If they later send START, they are automatically unblocked and can receive your messages again.
A dedicated “OPT-OUT” section in your dashboard lists all blacklisted contacts.
The API checks the blacklist in real-time and blocks outgoing SMS automatically to opted-out numbers.
You remain in full control — enable or disable the OPT-OUT system per phone.
This system is perfect for maintaining trust and complying with communication standards.

🤖 Let ChatGPT Reply to Your SMS

From your SMSMobileAPI dashboard, you can activate a powerful feature: allow our secure API to retrieve your incoming SMS, and ChatGPT will reply automatically according to your own rules.

No ChatGPT account? We provide a ready-to-use assistant for you.
Already have a ChatGPT account? Use your own OpenAI API key.
Define custom rules to control how ChatGPT responds.
Exclude specific numbers from automatic replies with ease.
Enable or disable the service in just one click.
And many more smart options to stay in control at all times.

📋Real-World Use Cases

Whether you're running SMS-based campaigns, customer support, or surveys, you can automatically collect and process replies without any manual intervention.

For example: when a customer replies to a promotional SMS, the message is instantly available in your system, allowing you to trigger automated workflows or alerts.
