Does Wachete support SMS?

Wachete is built around email and integrations. SMS usually requires an email-to-SMS gateway or a webhook to an SMS provider.

How do I send a page alert by SMS?

Use an email-to-SMS gateway or a webhook to Twilio or a similar service. Test delivery before relying on it.

Is SMS better than push?

Only when the recipient does not use push or email. Push is cheaper and more reliable for most page alerts.

What does AyeWatch offer?

Push, email, Slack, Discord, and webhooks. Pro is $9/mo with 50 topics and hourly checks.

Wachete SMS Integration: Setup and Alternatives

Short answer: Wachete sends email alerts natively. For SMS, use an email-to-SMS gateway or a webhook to an SMS provider such as Twilio. AyeWatch offers push notifications and webhooks, which are simpler than SMS for most page alerts.

AyeWatch is an AI monitor for public pages and topics. It sends a summary to push, email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

Does Wachete send SMS?

Wachete is built around email alerts and integrations. SMS is not the native channel on most plans. You can bridge it with an email-to-SMS gateway or a webhook to an SMS API.

Check your plan's integration list before you build the bridge. Features change.

The email-to-SMS bridge

Most carriers offer an email address that delivers to a phone number, such as number@carrier-gateway. Add that address as an alert recipient. It is cheap and fragile: carriers change the format and filter messages.

Test it for a week before you rely on it for a critical alert.

The webhook bridge

Send the Wachete alert to a webhook that calls Twilio or another SMS API. This is more reliable but requires a small service and a budget for messages.

Use it only for alerts that truly need SMS.

The simpler alternative

Push notifications. AyeWatch sends a push to the mobile app, plus email, Slack, Discord, and webhooks. Push is free to receive and does not need a carrier gateway.

Pro is $9/mo with 50 topics and hourly checks; Pro+ is $19/mo with 200 topics and ASAP mode.

When SMS is the right channel

When the recipient does not use the app, the channel, or email. When the alert must reach a phone with no data plan. Those cases are rare for page monitoring.

The page change alerts guide covers the channel tradeoffs.

The bottom line

Decide whether SMS is a real requirement or a preference. If it is real, use a webhook to an SMS API. If it is a preference, try push first and save the carrier bridge for the one alert that needs it.
