Features
Inside the email to text workflow
Send a text from your email client
Compose a message in Outlook or Gmail exactly like you normally would. Enter the recipient’s mobile number using the TextBetter format, type your message, and click send.
TextBetter automatically:
- Converts the email body into SMS
- Removes signatures and disclaimers
- Routes the message through your registered business number
- Delivers it as a standard text message
To the recipient, it appears as a normal SMS from your business number — not your email address.
Receive text replies with full conversation context
When the recipient replies by text:
- Their SMS is received by your TextBetter number
- TextBetter converts it into an email
- The reply is delivered directly to your inbox
Replies arrive within seconds and include the full conversation history appended at the bottom of the email — preserving context even if subject lines change. Users can simply click “Reply” to continue the conversation.
Built on patented message threading technology
TextBetter appends structured conversation history to each inbound SMS reply delivered via email using patented message-threading technology — similar to a mobile message transcript.
This ensures:
- Message history remains intact
- Outbound emails and inbound texts stay connected
- Conversations are searchable inside your corporate email system
From a user perspective, texting behaves exactly like email — even though the other party is using SMS.

What Sets TextBetter Apart
Designed for business
Controlled routing
Every message follows a defined conversion path — from email to SMS and back again. Outbound emails become text messages. Inbound replies return directly to your inbox, fully traceable and timestamped.
Built for email-based compliance
Because SMS flows through your existing email environment, retention policies, archiving tools, and monitoring controls apply automatically. Text becomes part of your established governance structure.
Clear 1:1 message ownership
Each approved email address connects to a dedicated business number. This preserves accountability, clean message history, and structured communication without creating a parallel system.

Integrations
Integrate with your existing compliance and business tools
Email to Text integrates seamlessly with the compliance, archiving, monitoring, and CRM tools you already use. Because it works through your existing email system, SMS messages are automatically captured, logged, and governed across platforms like Microsoft Purview, Smarsh, Proofpoint, GlobalRelay, Salesforce, HubSpot, and virtually any system that processes email.
Does Email to Text work with Outlook, Gmail, or Microsoft 365?
Yes. Email to Text works with any existing email client — Outlook, Office 365, Gmail, Apple Mail, and any IMAP/SMTP-compatible system.
Do users need to install anything?
No. Nothing to install, download, or configure. If you can send an email, you can send text messages.
How does compliance work?
Because all messages pass through your organization’s email system, they are automatically captured by your existing archive, monitoring, and retention tools — no parallel systems or third party services.
Can multiple employees text from the same number?
Yes. If your organization uses a shared email inbox (such as [email protected]) that multiple employees can access in Outlook or Gmail, that inbox can be paired with a business number for sending and receiving text messages.
Do customers see my email address?
No. Customers see a normal SMS message coming from your business phone number (landline, VoIP, or toll-free).
Can we send and receive images?
Yes — MMS is fully supported through the Email to Text workflow.
