How Two-Way Messaging Works: Step-by-Step

From number provisioning to automated conversation management — a complete four-step workflow.

01

Get a Dedicated Number

TextNation provisions a dedicated 5-6 digit short code or a 10-digit long code (virtual mobile number) assigned exclusively to your brand. Short codes are easier for customers to remember; long codes suit conversational, 1:1 interaction flows.

02

Configure Keyword Auto-Responses

Define up to 100 keywords per number — for example, STOP for opt-outs, YES for confirmations, or INFO for product queries. Each keyword triggers a pre-configured auto-response or routes the message to a specific team, chatbot, or CRM workflow.

03

Customers Text Your Number

When a customer texts your short code or long code, their message is received by our platform in real time and routed to your webhook endpoint or unified dashboard inbox within 500ms. No polling required — inbound messages push instantly.

04

Manage via Dashboard or Automate

Handle conversations manually through the unified inbox — with conversation history, agent assignment, and tagging — or fully automate responses using our chatbot builder. Escalate to live agents when the bot reaches its limit.
