About

Activ8 is a cloud-based customer messaging and follow-up platform for small businesses and marketing agencies. It brings SMS, WhatsApp, iMessage and RCS conversations together with automated follow-up campaigns, two-way messaging and AI-assisted responses based on a business's website and documents. Campaign templates support lead follow-up, reminders and reactivation, while teams can review conversations and take over when AI hands off. Voice AI can answer and place calls, qualify enquiries and book appointments. Activ8 also offers lead search and phone verification, Shopify order notifications and customer sync, and calendar connections with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook for checking availability and booking. Users connect an Android device to send campaigns and manage responses through the platform. The service is designed for businesses that need to convert enquiries and bookings into customers.
