FEATURES
TSEA offers additional tools in the 2-Way setup.
SESSION BASED CONVERSATION
There are two different ways that the 2Way messaging may be initiated:
- MT initiated – mobile subscriber responds to an outbound SMS from a client
- MO initiated - mobile subscriber initiates the process by sending their own SMS, requesting information from the client
For MT initiated 2Way, TSEA has developed a solution that links together the messaging conversation by generating a virtual session for MT and MO messages. The solution is similar to the USSD service. The feature also provides the ‘no keyword’ option for the clients having a shared number setup. MO messages are linked to the latest MT sent to mobile subscriber so no keyword is needed for matching inbound messages to the specific client.
AUTOMATIC REPLIES
Clients may define custom responses to inbound messages. The responses may be optionally differentiated through the use of keywords.
In some countries there are strict regulations regarding consumer protection. TSEA takes care of that and will by default handle inbound messages in order to abide to these regulations. “By default” means that TSEA will handle the inbound message processing.
FORWARDING OPTIONS
Clients may choose among following forwarding methods for each 2way setup:
- HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.
- SMPP - Short Message Peer-to-Peer is an open, industry standard protocol designed to provide a flexible data communication interface for the transfer of short message data between External Short Messaging Entities (ESME), Routing Entities (RE) and Message Centres.
- Email – Every message sent to a number resource will be forwarded to emails of your choice
-
From transactional emails that confirm online purchases to informative emails letting passengers know their flight has been delayed to promotional emails offering customers deals at their favorite store, email is one of the most flexible messaging tools available. Now that it has moved from desktop-first to predominantly mobile-first, it is a perfect complement to other communication channels for non-urgent, media-rich messages to customers.
Email remains one of the most cost-effective forms of promotion available. Unlike high-cost outlets like billboards, TV, or print, email allows you to customize messages to customers, target specific customer groups with tailored content, track the effectiveness of your messages, and get immediate results from campaigns. TSEA Portal gives you actionable data that you can use to build reports tracking all of your campaigns and derive an ROI for your activities.
You can use it as standalone service or as part of the omni-channel suite. All the features and options are available through a simple API (dev.TSEA.com), ready to integrate into your systems, or through the user-friendly TSEA Portal (https://account.tsea.co.ke). Like all our products, TSEA Email runs on our Platform that provides exceptional delivery and reliability regardless of the size of your mailing list.
