GTM, sales, support, lifecycle, and product teams in search of a tool to automate trusted iMessage conversations and turn customer replies into actions
About Chert
Chert is iMessage infrastructure for reaching people at scale, providing the API and workflow layer for sending, receiving, routing, and observing real iMessage conversations. It lets teams build and deploy AI on iMessage while maintaining quality, trust, and personalized interaction, with blue-bubble threads from verified numbers delivered like native iMessage. Typing indicators, reactions, reply context, read receipts, and attachments stay intact for AI or human follow-up, while multi-recipient threads support named senders and clean handoffs. If a recipient is not on iMessage, conversations can fall back to SMS or RCS, with delivery status surfaced per message. Workflow primitives include phone number pools, reply routing, webhooks, and audit trails, and the same API can start a thread, interpret a reply, and move the workflow forward.

Sendblue
SendBlue is a messaging platform that lets businesses send iMessage, SMS, and MMS using virtual iMessage lines, with or without writing code. It avoids the need for A2P registration and supports rich media like voice memos, videos, and high-resolution photos. It’s particularly designed for sales and marketing workflows; messages automatically fall back to SMS on non-Apple devices, you can port your existing phone number into the system, and it integrates with your CRM so you can message prospects directly. SendBlue claims users see a ~70% increase in response rate by using iMessage instead of traditional texting channels. The platform also supports sending media types (voice, image, video), maintains “blue bubble” design to mimic native iMessage, and limits brute-force messaging by capping daily messages per phone line. We allow our users to send unlimited texts to their contacts.
