What you get with SMSGatewayHub

Fallback beyond WhatsApp

If a WhatsApp message fails or is not delivered, the same customer can get it by RCS and then SMS - one panel, one unified API, with Email on the same account.

Click tracking per recipient

Every link in a campaign is tracked per person, so you can re-send only to people who clicked - or only to those who did not.

India lead sources

IndiaMART and TradeIndia enquiries, website forms and Zapier leads get an instant WhatsApp reply from your template.

AI on your own key

The AI assistant runs on your own OpenAI or Claude key, so there are no AI credits to buy or run out of.

Commerce and Flows

WhatsApp Flows forms, catalog and carousel templates, payment links, and Shopify / WooCommerce messages including COD confirmation.

Appointments and dynamic media

Booking inside WhatsApp and a personalised image or PDF (ticket, coupon, certificate) per recipient - Advanced plan and up.

REST API with a Meta Cloud API compatible endpoint, OpenAPI docs, webhooks and SDK code in 7 languages.
