Why choose Vonage APIs for mobile app promotion?

Low-latency, high-deliverability SMS

Vonage APIs can push text messages to any SMS-capable device, faster and more reliably than anyone. Our proprietary adaptive routing and regulation engine mechanisms guarantee optimal delivery to mobile users in any location.

Validate phone numbers automatically

Vonage's Number Insight API can validate that the number the visitor has provided is both well-formatted and capable of receiving an SMS message. This can help you reduce costs by making sure that you don’t send messages to erroneous, out-of-date or out-of-reach numbers.

Destination-sensitive transformations

Different destinations have different requirements and Vonage’s SMS API transforms an outbound message automatically to comply with those regulations. For example, Vonage APIs can guarantee the proper encoding and message length for local compliance.

Track your invitations

Using Vonage APIs dashboard or Management API, you can track the delivery and click-through of each app invitation you send.

Analytics for delivery optimisation

You can optimise app promotion campaigns with insights available on Vonage APIs dashboard or through the Management API.
