What is Email To SMS Converter?

Email To SMS Converter allows you to receive email or email notifications via SMS. In most cases receiving email or email notifications is fine since most notifications are not time-sensitive or urgent in nature. But if you are waiting for an email where you need to act quickly, this is the feature to use.

Why Use This Feature?

Email As An Only Option

Most websites and IOT smart devices only offer email notifications, so this is a way to convert that into an SMS.

Email Delivery Issues

Emails can be sent to SPAM or they can bounce. SMS bypasses deliverability problems and is sent directly to your SMS inbox.

Instant

As soon as the email is sent from the sender, you receive an SMS a few moments later helping you to respond faster to that notification.

What Are Some Of The Ways People Use It

CCTV

If you are monitoring a CCTV camera for security purposes, you may want to receive notifications on your phone as soon as the camera detects any suspicious activity.

Personal

You can set up an Email to SMS Converter to receive important emails from your personal email account. For instance, if you are expecting an email from your child’s school about a change in schedule, you can set up the converter to send you an SMS notification when the email arrives.

Alarms

If you have installed an alarm system at your home or office. This will help you stay updated on any breaches or faults in the alarm system and take appropriate action.

Business

In a business setting, an Email to SMS Converter can be helpful in many ways. For example, if you are a sales manager, you can receive notifications about new leads or opportunities via SMS. Or if you are a customer support representative, you can receive notifications about new support tickets or urgent issues via SMS, allowing you to respond promptly.

Servers

If you are responsible for maintaining a server or a network of servers, you’ll need immediate response times 24/7. This can help you receive notifications about any server downtime or issues, allowing a faster resolution.

Traders/Investors

timely notification of price changes is required for investments but many charting programs or website only offer email notifications. Our Email to SMS Converter can send you SMS notifications whenever the price of a particular stock or cryptocurrency reaches a particular level.

  • Both the subject and body of that email.

For example, in the below, you may only want to be sent the subject line instead of the entire email, which is 880 words.

Field #3: Exclude All Words Before

This instructs 160 to exclude words that appear before a specific keyword(s).

For example, you may not be interested in the subject line or the greeting and are only interested in a specific piece of information in the middle of the email for example the text in bold is what you want to see so you would paste int the line:

“Your account is currently past due for the amount of $120.”

This tells our system to exclude everything before that part of the email.
