  • Easily scale campaigns

    From 500 messages to 50,000 - the same dashboard, same workflow, same reports.

  • API connections and OTP on WhatsApp or SMS

    Connect your system to send login codes on WhatsApp or SMS, plus automatic reminders, alerts, and delivery callbacks.

  • Activity history and delivery reports

    Track what was sent, delivered, failed, and keep a clear audit trail.

Two-way SMS & automation

Reply automatically and follow up on autopilot

Tuma SMS is not just outbound. Collect opt-ins with keywords, run timed welcome series, target rule-based audiences, and see who tapped the links in your messages.

  • Keyword auto-replies

    When someone texts JOIN or INFO, reply instantly, add them to a group, or unsubscribe them - no staff needed.

  • Drip sequences

    Build a welcome series once and Tuma sends each timed step automatically - by keyword, group, or manual enrolment.

  • Smart segments

    Save rule-based audiences (tags, groups, activity) that always reflect the latest matching contacts at send time.

  • Link click tracking

    Short links in your campaigns are tracked, so you can measure interest and follow up with the people who tapped.
