I've built a SMS to Slack which enables two-way SMS messaging from your Slack channels.

I had an annoying use case where when trying to login to a shared work account, the 2FA code was being sent to a colleague's phone number. Now being able to receive that code in Slack solved the problem.

Customers now use it for their own customer support. End users really like SMS as a messaging platform, nobody wants to send an email or talk to a chatbot.

It uses Elixir, Fly, GCP, Stripe, and a couple carriers.

In Brazil WhatsApp for Business completely ate this space. SMS is dying (granted, a very slow death) so milk it while you can :)


Cool project! Which carriers are you using and how do you get around things like A2P 10DLC?


I really recommend adding WhatsApp as an option besides SMS
