Text Request has already helped hundreds of businesses transfer data from Zipwhip in light of Zipwhip’s impending shutdown.

Text Request, the business text messaging platform built to ignite customer engagement, has been named a recommended replacement for Zipwhip’s texting software by Twilio. Text Request has also built a Migration Tool that enables organizations using the Zipwhip platform to transfer their data to Text Request, and has already helped hundreds of businesses successfully make the switch.

Zipwhip was acquired by communications platform Twilio in 2021, and has since announced they will be shutting down the Zipwhip service. Existing Zipwhip customers have until April 30, 2022, to make updates to their account and contract. A 30-day notice is required for canceling. Zipwhip services will end on November 30, 2022.

“We’ve been working directly with Zipwhip and Twilio throughout this process,” said Text Request CEO and co-founder Brian Elrod, “to make sure their customers have an easy landing and can keep texting without missing a beat.”
