Acme: Acme Analytics Warning: Signup conversion below threshold: 2.1% vs 4.0% floor. acme.app/dash/signups
Our free message templates are live.
Sending arrives Summer 2026.
A text can change the outcome.
Your signup conversion rate drops from 4% to 2% at 11pm on a Tuesday. Nobody's watching the dashboard. The drop compounds for eight hours before someone opens a browser tab. A text at 11pm changes that.
Analytics & BI SaaS messages. And all of the others.
All nine message categories are included — one registration.
Notifies the operator the instant a metric crosses a threshold or deviates from its baseline.
Keeps the operator ahead of billing and access events on the analytics subscription.
Warns when event volume drops abnormally — broken tracking, not a real business change.
Delivers a recurring summary of headline numbers on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence.
Common questions
What should I put in the alert text — the metric value, or just a link to the dashboard?
Both — the value in the message, the details behind the link. A text that just says "metric alert" and links somewhere isn't much use. Include the metric name and what happened: "Signup conversion below 2.1% vs 4.0% floor." That's enough context to know whether to drop everything or wait until morning. Save the breakdown, the time series, and the comparison for the dashboard.
How do I handle the difference between a real drop and just a slow hour?
Set the threshold against a rolling baseline, not a fixed number. A fixed floor fires all night on weekends. A rolling baseline — "alert if 30% below the same hour last week" — only fires when something is actually wrong. Most analytics tools that trigger events let you configure which kind of threshold fires the alert. Use that, and your texts will mean something when they arrive.
Should a scheduled digest go out even if there's nothing unusual to report?
Yes — the cadence is part of the value. A weekly digest that only arrives when something's wrong isn't a digest, it's an alert. The value of a scheduled report is the habit: your users open it every Monday and know where they stand. Send it on schedule regardless of whether the numbers moved. If everything's flat and healthy, that's worth knowing too.
When do I ask users if it's okay to text them?
Right when they give you their phone number for the first time. For an analytics app, that's usually when they create their account. That's when texting makes sense to them and the ask feels natural. RelayKit hosts an opt-in page for your app — your AI tool will know how to link to it from the right spot in your flow.
You build the feature. We handle the bureaucracy.
Every text message carries a stack of carrier rules. We've read all of it, so you don't have to.
Registration handled
Getting approved on your own can take weeks.
Most registrations clear in about three days. We handle the filing, so you can keep building your app.
Messages compliant
Send the wrong kind of message and carriers block it — silently.
Every message is checked against carrier rules before it sends, not just passed through.
Opt-ins & opt-outs covered
Miss a single STOP and the fines add up fast.
We stop instantly. Consent is tracked and enforced at delivery, not wired up by you.
Give your AI tool a build spec, not a pile of docs.
RelayKit generates implementation instructions for your AI tool. Messages, variables, event triggers, testing steps, and integration guidance arrive for smooth integration.
Slots into ShipFast, Supastarter, MakerKit, and Vercel + Supabase.
import { RelayKit } from 'relaykit'; const relaykit = new RelayKit(); await relaykit.appointments.sendConfirmation(customer.phone, { date: 'Fri, Jun 6', time: '2:00 PM', });
That's the send.

When a message can't wait, send a text.
Messages from an app only work when someone sees them. Here's how text and email compare.
Industry SMS-vs-email benchmarks, 2025–26 — open and response from SMS-marketing aggregates; email inbox placement from Validity's 2025 deliverability report. SMS open is inferred from delivery, not pixel-tracked; reported email open rates are distorted by tracking-pixel prefetch and blocking.
The rules show up after you start building.
US carriers require these from every business that sends texts. Getting approved can take weeks if not done right.
Registration
Before anything sends, your business gets registered in a central registry that every US carrier checks — legal name, tax ID, website, and what you plan to send. Details have to match your IRS records exactly, or the application bounces.
RelayKit collects this during setup and files the registration for you.
Carrier review
Reviewers check your registration and your messages against carrier rules before you're allowed to send. Other providers typically take two to three weeks — and every rejection restarts the clock, with no guarantee the next round clears.
RelayKit submissions are prepared to pass the first time; approval typically takes a few days.
Consent requirements
You have to collect and keep proof that every recipient agreed to get texts from you — how they opted in, when, and which kinds of messages they agreed to. Someone who signed up for appointment reminders hasn't agreed to marketing.
RelayKit provides the opt-in language and keeps the consent records automatically.
Build a compliance website
Reviewers visit your website looking for a privacy policy with specific mobile-data language, posted terms, and a visible description of your texting program. A missing or half-finished site is the single most common reason registrations get rejected.
RelayKit generates and hosts a compliance site for you — privacy policy, terms, and opt-in page included.
STOP and HELP handling
A reply of STOP has to halt messages to that person immediately, and HELP has to get a real answer — automatically, every time. Getting it wrong is a fast way to get a number shut down.
RelayKit handles both at the delivery layer; when someone replies STOP, we stop.
Message restrictions
Carriers limit what businesses can say over text: entire content categories are banned, links get scrutinized, and messages outside your registered use case can get your number flagged. The rules live across multiple carrier policies, and they change.
RelayKit's templates already follow them, and custom messages are checked before they send — not just passed through.
The messages are ready now.
Sending arrives Summer 2026.
You can start with the messages today. When sending launches, your AI tool wires up the integration, you test on real phones, and registration and opt-outs stay handled behind the scenes.
