What is the Text Us widget?
The Text Us widget is an embeddable button you can add to your website that lets visitors start a text conversation with you. When someone clicks it, they're prompted to send a text message that goes straight to your inbox. It's a frictionless way to get people off your website and into a real conversation.
Customization
You can tailor the widget to fit your brand and compliance needs:
Widget color - Match the button to your brand colors
Custom response message - Set the message visitors see after they reach out
Disclosures - Add any compliance disclosures your business requires
TCPA opt-in language - Built-in consent language to cover opt-in requirements
