In today’s digital-first world, it’s no surprise that relationships are built both offline and online. However, when it comes to donor engagement, it’s historically been hard to empower teams to engage donors across channels like messaging and voice while maintaining staff and donor privacy.

It is available in the US and Canada and can be used with Short Code, Toll-Free, and A2P 10DLC sender types.
