Why build your own UI when you get all of this out of the box?

Surge's inbox component has all the features you need to get started with messaging, and we're always adding more. Here are a few of the things it provides:

Expedited onboarding
We get you through campaign registration or toll-free verification in 1-2 business days rather than the standard 2-3 weeks.
Reliability
We maintain redundancy to make sure webhooks are never dropped and your customers' messages are never lost.
Link shortening and tracking
Links are automatically shortened to prevent truncation by carriers. Plus, your users can see when they've been opened.
Attachments
Don't worry about file uploads, we've got you covered. Attach images, videos, and documents with ease. Plus we automatically handle files that are too big to be sent in an MMS.
Unread message counts
Surge keeps track of who's read what so that you can see who needs a response. We'll show you how many unread messages are in your inbox and how many are in each conversation.
Intuitive API
Surge lets you add messaging without code, but our API is available for more advanced use cases like triggering message sends and analyzing message data.
Blasts
Send a message to a group of people all at once. We'll handle the sending and make sure that each message is personalized for each recipient.
Typing indicators Coming soon
Know if someone else on your team is already responding to a customer. We'll show you if someone is typing a response so that you don't step on each other's toes.
RCS Coming soon
With RCS support in iOS 18, we've got you covered. We'll automatically detect if devices support RCS to send and receive read receipts, typing indicators, emoji reactions, and more.
