TextingOnly · Switch & Automate
You’re already texting. OTTO automates the rest.
Moving from another SMS platform — or running SMS without automation? Switch & Automate brings your contacts over, rebuilds your flows with OTTO’s text-based auto attendant, and shows you side-by-side what changes when qualification, routing, and follow-up run themselves.

What changes
What you had. What OTTO runs instead.
Most SMS platforms send the message and stop there. OTTO qualifies the contact, routes by intent, captures declared customer data, delivers the prepared lead, and follows up on partial completions — automatically. This is what the switch looks like in practice.
What most SMS platforms do
Send outbound message — no response handling
Opt-in captured — no qualification flow
Lead delivered as a raw phone number
Rep calls cold — contact doesn’t answer
Partial opt-ins abandoned — no follow-up
Attribution: message sent / delivered
Manual reply management or ignored replies
One number across all campaigns
What OTTO runs instead
Outbound sends trigger ITR reply automation
Opt-in launches OTTO qualification flow instantly
Lead delivered structured — name, intent, transcript
Attribution: entry point → scan → opt-in → conversion
Replies trigger new OTTO flows automatically
Unique 10DLC number per campaign — full attribution
What’s included
Everything that comes with the switch.
Switch & Automate isn’t just a platform migration — it’s a rebuild. We bring your contacts over and upgrade every part of what they experience when they text you.
Migration
Contact list migration
Your existing contact lists imported, cleaned, and segmented in TextingOnly. Compliance status verified. List health assessed before any sends go out. You don’t touch a CSV.
Automation rebuild
Flows rebuilt with OTTO
Your existing automations — whatever platform they’re on — get rebuilt as OTTO flows. ITR menus, data collectors, Prepare Caller, reply automations. Upgraded, not just copied.
Entry points
QR codes and SmartLinks
New QR codes and device-aware SmartLinks set up for your key placements with unique campaign attribution. Every entry point tracked separately. Update campaigns without reprinting — ever.
Attribution
Full conversation attribution
Dedicated 10DLC-registered number per campaign. Every opt-in traced to its entry point. Cost per conversation tracked per placement. The attribution layer your current platform doesn’t have.
Compliance
10DLC registration & TCPA
We handle the full 10DLC registration under your business brand. TCPA opt-in architecture verified. Carrier compliance confirmed. You start sending with registered, deliverable numbers.

TextingOnly’s Switch & Automate program handles migration from any SMS platform — EZTexting, SimpleTexting, Podium, Attentive, Klaviyo SMS, Twilio-based tools, and others. If you have contact lists and existing flows, we can migrate them. The process is the same regardless of where you’re coming from.
Your contact lists are imported into TextingOnly, cleaned, and segmented. Compliance status is verified before any sends go out. You don’t manage CSV files or manual imports — a TextingOnly specialist handles the migration and confirms the list is ready before anything goes live.
In most cases, yes. TextingOnly works with number porting when technically feasible. Where porting isn’t possible, new 10DLC-registered numbers are set up under your business brand, and your contacts are notified via your existing channels before the transition. A specialist reviews your specific situation during the migration planning conversation.
Most Switch & Automate migrations are complete within one to two weeks — contact import, OTTO flow rebuild, entry point setup, and 10DLC registration. The timeline depends on the complexity of your existing flows and the size of your contact list. A TextingOnly specialist gives you a specific timeline after reviewing your setup.
No long-term contract is required to get started. TextingOnly operates on month-to-month terms for the base platform. The Switch & Automate migration itself is included as part of onboarding — it’s not a separate paid service.
OTTO is TextingOnly’s SMS conversation engine — a text-based auto attendant that runs qualification flows through the native Messages app using Interactive Text Response (ITR) menus and conversational data collectors. Unlike most SMS platforms that send a message and stop, OTTO qualifies the contact, captures structured declared customer data, routes by intent, sends a Prepare Caller message before your rep calls, and follows up on partial completions automatically. No human required between opt-in and prepared lead delivery.
