Why Use SMS Integrations for Higher Education

Higher education institutions can use SMS features like SMS Integrations to communicate with a diverse student body all around campus.

When you want to add text messaging functionality to your existing business operations, SMS integrations are your best bet. They allow you to automatically send a text message when a trigger or request is made in an integrated program. SMS integrations for Higher Education are particularly helpful because they can work with the programs you already use to run your business, and often there is not much setup required. Some of Trumpia’s most common SMS integrations include automatically sending reminders for appointments or deadlines, two-factor authentication codes, updating contact information (either in Trumpia or in your current databases) based on customer behavior, and sending alerts like low balance reminders. Some of Trumpia’s biggest integrations include Salesforce, Typeform, and thousands of other programs due to our Zapier integration which can add text messaging to virtually any compatible program with very minimal setup. We even have a team of experts who can build SMS integrations for Higher Education.

Overview of SMS Integrations for Higher Education

Texting features like SMS Integrations can help higher education institutions communicate with students about things like FAFSA and registration deadlines.

So how do SMS integrations for Higher Education work? First, you need a powerful text messaging partner like Trumpia that can integrate with your system, either via native integration, Zapier integration, or through our SMS API. If your program has a native SMS integration, it can often be as simple as connecting the two programs via a user interface, or by having your IT department set it up. If it is a Zapier integration, it can be as easy as using a pre-built Zapier application called a “Zap”, otherwise, you may have to have a programming team build the Zapier integration for you. The last method, SMS API integration, requires your developers to take an SMS API (like Trumpia’s) and integrate it with your current system so that you can send text messages when certain conditions are met. Some basic Zapier integrations include Google sheets, Slack, Hubspot, Mailchimp, Patreon, Shopify, and Workable.
