How does it connect to Salesforce?

You install it from AppExchange, then run the setup: pick your sending country, create your ValueText account, choose SMS, WhatsApp or both as the default channel, switch on the secure connection so replies reach your org, and put the texting window on the records your team opens. Installation takes ten minutes.

Are you on the AppExchange?

Yes. ValueText installs from AppExchange, into a sandbox or straight into production. Installing it puts Send SMS and Bulk SMS buttons on contacts, accounts, cases, leads and opportunities with nothing further to set up, and it ships with two ready-made access levels: one for everyone who sends, one for the people who edit templates.

Do we need a developer to set this up?

No. A Salesforce admin does the whole install in ten minutes. It installs from AppExchange, your admin connects a number and puts the texting window on the records your team opens. Nothing to host, no developer, no separate tool.

Can we keep our phone number?

Yes. You can bring a number you already own and keep texting from it, for SMS and WhatsApp alike. ValueText can also provision numbers where you need new ones.

Who owns the conversation data?

You do. Every message, inbound and outbound, is written to your own org and linked to the record it belongs to. Your sharing rules decide who reads it, your existing reports read it without an export, and it is still there the day you stop paying us.

What happens to the history when a lead converts?

It follows the record. Each message is linked to the record it belongs to, and the same message can be linked to more than one record at once, so it shows on every one. When a lead converts, a one-time automation your admin sets up moves the history onto the new record.

What can a manager report on?

Every message is a record in your own org, so your reports and dashboards read it with no export. Each bulk send gets its own job report: delivered, failed, queued, read, responded and opt-out counts, a success ratio, a response ratio and the total message cost, filterable by status and downloadable when the list runs past two thousand rows.

Is it secure enough for our compliance team?

Certified to ISO 27001:2022, and we sign BAAs. Consent and opt-outs are held as data you control, the keys stay in your own org, and the security page carries the certificate, the sub-processor list and the DPA.

What happens when an agent leaves?

Nothing moves. The conversation is on the record rather than in that person's inbox, so it stays where it was and the next owner picks it up mid-thread. Deactivate the user in Salesforce and the licence frees up. The history does not go with them.

What does it cost to send a message?

The published rate for the country you are sending to. Messages sit on top of the licence price and one base fee per account. Every country rate is listed on the pricing page, so you can work the number out before you talk to anyone.

One record, every reply

Text from Salesforce. Every reply on the record.

Q: Where does my team read and reply?

Two screens. The texting window sits on a contact, lead, account, opportunity or any record of your own and messages that one customer. Converse view is the shared screen: your own threads or everyone's, an inbox and an outbox, filters for unread, starred and unassigned, labels, bulk assign, and search by name, keyword or record.

Q: Can customers reply, and where does the reply go?

Onto the record it came from, with the owner notified. The next person to open that record reads the whole thread, so nobody has to ask a colleague for a screenshot of what was said.

Q: Can messages send automatically?

Yes, from the automation your admin already uses. A reminder before the appointment, a follow-up when a stage changes, a first reply while the team sleeps: each is set up once and sends itself, free text, a template or a bot, at a time and time zone you choose.

Q: My CRM already has WhatsApp built in. Why this?

Because a built-in channel is one channel. Here SMS, WhatsApp and WebChat arrive on the same thread, on the record, with bulk sending, automated sends and an AI agent all working that thread. One place to look, and one place your reports read from.

SMS, WhatsApp and WebChat from the contact, lead or case your team already has open. The thread stays where the next person looks.

What it does

Five ways your team uses text messaging in Salesforce.

No second app, no copying between tabs, and no reply lost in someone’s phone.

One-to-one messaging

Send an SMS or WhatsApp from the Salesforce Lead, Contact or Case. The reply comes back to that record and to the person who owns it.

Send to a list

Pick a list view, a report or a campaign and send once. Every reply comes back as its own conversation, not a group thread.

Automatic follow-ups

Your Salesforce Flows send them: a reminder before the appointment, a message when the stage changes, a first reply while the team sleeps.

See every conversation

Converse view shows every open conversation in one inbox inside Salesforce, by owner, channel or label, so you see what is waiting and who has it.

AI answers first

The AI agent answers, qualifies and books on WebChat, SMS and WhatsApp. Anything it cannot answer goes to a person, with the thread attached.

Why teams choose ValueText

More replies, fewer things falling through the cracks

Every one of these runs inside the Salesforce your team already opens each morning. Pick the job you are trying to fix.

Speed-to-lead auto-replies

A web lead goes cold in minutes, and whoever replies first usually wins the relationship. Salesforce sends the first text the second the record is created, so nobody is waiting on a rep to notice.

Hi Priya, thanks for reaching out. This is Ana at Northgate, when’s a good time to talk?

AI SMS drip campaigns

A sequence keeps going while someone is engaged and stops when they reply, go quiet or buy. Your team is not deciding who gets message three.

03 · Winning the work

Group SMS

Send to a Salesforce list view, a report or a campaign. What comes back is not a bulk inbox: each reply lands on that person’s own record, with the rep who owns them.

Multilingual messaging

Messages go out and come back translated, so one team covers markets it could not staff for. The original and the translation both sit on the record.

Technician on the way

The text goes out when the appointment status changes, with the arrival window from the work order. The reply comes back to the same appointment, so a reschedule is a note on the record, not a voicemail.

Case status updates

Most support calls are people chasing an update they were never given. Send the update when the case status changes and the calls stop arriving.

Volunteer shift reminders

Every confirmed volunteer gets a text the evening before. Y keeps the shift, N frees it, and a reply on the day logs the hours as done.

Payment confirmations and reminders

A short text about an overdue amount gets read and gets acted on, and it spares your team the conversation nobody wants to have. It fires off the record that already knows the balance.

Common questions

Questions about texting from Salesforce

The ones every buyer asks on the first call, answered the way we answer them there.

01

Where does my team read and reply?

Two screens. +

The texting window sits on a contact, lead, account, opportunity or any record of your own and messages that one customer. Converse view is the shared screen: your own threads or everyone's, an inbox and an outbox, filters for unread, starred and unassigned, labels, bulk assign, and search by name, keyword or record.

02

Does it work on the records we use?

Yes. The texting window goes on leads, contacts, accounts, opportunities and any record type of your own. +

Bulk sending from a list view and sending from your automations work the same way on every record type.

03

Can customers reply, and where does the reply go?

Onto the record it came from, with the owner notified. +

The next person to open that record reads the whole thread, so nobody has to ask a colleague for a screenshot of what was said.

04

Can we send to a lot of people at once?

Five ways, all inside Salesforce: type or paste numbers, upload a spreadsheet, pick a list view, send to everyone related to an account or every member of a campaign, or run a report on a schedule. +

The bulk tab caps at a thousand messages; the spreadsheet route is the one for more.

05

Can messages send automatically?

Yes, from the automation your admin already uses. +

A reminder before the appointment, a follow-up when a stage changes, a first reply while the team sleeps: each is set up once and sends itself, free text, a template or a bot, at a time and time zone you choose.

06

My CRM already has WhatsApp built in. Why this?

Because a built-in channel is one channel. +

Here SMS, WhatsApp and WebChat arrive on the same thread, on the record, with bulk sending, automated sends and an AI agent all working that thread. One place to look, and one place your reports read from.
