What is Clickfunnels SMS?

Clickfunnels SMS is a service that allows users to integrate SMS messaging into their marketing campaigns using Clickfunnels pages. This service requires the use of an SMS signup element, which is essential for obtaining permission from contacts to send them SMS messages. The element is added to Clickfunnels pages to facilitate this functionality.

The SMS signup element is a crucial component that connects with Twilio integration, allowing for the creation and management of SMS marketing automation campaigns. This element is incorporated into Clickfunnels pages by using the \"Add New Element\" function and can be customized through settings that are accessible via a gear icon.

While Clickfunnels 2.0 does not offer a direct SMS integration, the service supports third-party integrations such as Zapier, which enables users to connect with SMS providers like Twilio. This allows for a range of SMS-based interactions, including autoresponders, marketing communications, and even replacing traditional emails with SMS messages.
