Texting Widget Allows Businesses to Add Full-Featured Text Messaging Interface to Any CRM Platform

Zipwhip, the inventor of Texting for Business™, announced the availability of its Texting Widget, a full-featured business texting user interface that can be easily embedded into any customer relationship management (CRM) platform with a single line of code. Zipwhip’s Texting Widget creates a seamless experience that makes texting more convenient and accessible, delivering a powerful customer engagement interface for businesses without ever having to leave their CRM system.

Businesses are swiftly adopting text messaging as a communication tool, according to Zipwhip’s 2019 State of Texting report, and currently, 39% of companies use texting to communicate with customers. That number is expected to increase as more business leaders and decision-makers adopt texting as an additional channel for customer engagement. For CRMs, developing a robust business texting tool requires a lot of time and resources. Zipwhip’s Texting Widget provides a reliable and effortless way to reach customers and manage text conversations directly from web-based CRM systems, eliminating the need for organizations to dedicate time-intensive and valuable engineering resources to develop their own.
