SMS Campaigns

Send a text to 500 people.
Get replies that book jobs.

Niora SMS campaigns go out as conversation-led messages — not blasts. And when someone replies, the AI handles the conversation and books the appointment.

10DLC compliant · A2P registered · Every reply handled live

Northern Heat Services
Hi Karen — we handle your annual boiler service in May. Want to get it locked in before winter prices kick in? Ready to book today if that works.
Campaign message · Niora
Yes please — what's available?
I've got Tues 10am or Friday morning — which works better?
Tues works
Done — Tues 10am. Mike will text 30 min before.

The average SMS blast gets a 1.2% reply rate. Niora campaigns average 17%.

Because nobody replies to a blast. Everybody replies to a conversation.

Campaign types

Four ways to reach your list.
One inbox handling every reply.

Every campaign type sends as a personalised message. Every reply goes into the same AI inbox and gets handled automatically.

One-shot

One message. Your entire list. Sent at once.

Promotions, seasonal alerts, announcements, last-minute openings. You choose the audience and Niora hits send with your name on it.

"[FirstName] — summer service deal — $89 today if you book this week."

Best for: time-sensitive offers

Drip campaign

A series of messages. Spaced over days or weeks.

Nurture sequences that build trust, build context, and re-engage across 3–5 days. Each message lands at the right time, in the right tone.

Day 1: introduce the offer Day 3: what's included Day 5: last chance

Best for: cold list reactivation

Trigger-based

Sent when something happens. No scheduling required.

Service anniversaries, birthdays, season renewals, customer requested check-ins. Fires the message automatically the moment the trigger hits.

"Hi [FirstName] — your dryer vent was last cleaned 11 months ago. Want to lock in a slot before winter?"

Best for: recurring revenue

Blast list

When they reply, you respond at scale.

Broadcast widely, then Niora picks up every reply individually — qualifying, answering, and booking, no matter the volume.

"[FirstName] — every booking in the next 48hr gets a free filter swap on us. Want in?"

Best for: large customer base activation

When they reply, Niora doesn't just log it.
It handles it.

Three kinds of replies. Three different outcomes. All handled automatically — without you picking up your phone.

Buying intent
Hey Karen — we noticed your boiler service is due. Want to lock in a Tues 10am or Friday morning slot?
Yes — Friday.
Done — Friday 9am locked in. Mike will text 30 min before.

Niora qualifies, books and confirms in the same thread.

Question
Hi Mark — looks like time for your annual roof check. Want to get booked in?
What does it cost these days?
It's $149 for the inspection and a written report, free if you book a service after. Want me to pencil you in Thursday morning?

Niora answers from your pricing rules — then asks for the close.

Opt-out
STOP
You're unsubscribed — you won't hear from us again. We've removed you from all future campaigns.

Compliance handled automatically. No human in the loop, fully logged.

Every reply triggers the right action. Nothing needs your attention until there's an appointment to confirm.

How SMS campaigns
actually work

These are the questions every owner asks before sending their first campaign. Here's how Niora actually handles them.

"How is this different from a normal bulk SMS service?"

Bulk SMS sends the message and stops. Niora sends the message and handles every reply that comes back — qualifying, answering, booking, opting out — without a human picking up the phone. The campaign is the start, not the finish.

"What happens when someone replies to a campaign?"

Niora picks up the conversation in your voice and runs it to a booked appointment, an answered question, or a logged opt-out. Every reply lands somewhere meaningful, automatically.

"How does opt-out and compliance work?"

STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT and CANCEL are honoured automatically and logged. Niora is 10DLC-registered and A2P-compliant, with quiet-hours and frequency caps built in by default. You stay on the right side of TCPA without thinking about it.

"Can I import my existing contact list?"

Yes — CSV import or direct CRM sync from HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and more. Niora respects existing opt-outs and de-dupes on import.

"Can I see which contacts read it and who replied?"

Yes. Every campaign has a live dashboard: sent, delivered, opened, replied, opted-out, booked. You can drill into any conversation in two clicks and see the full thread Niora ran on your behalf.

"Can I personalise messages for each contact?"

Yes — {{FirstName}}, {{LastService}}, {{NextDueDate}}, {{Vehicle}}, {{Address}} and any custom field from your CRM. Niora swaps them in per contact and previews the rendered message before send.

Common questions about
Niora SMS campaigns

What is an SMS campaign with Niora?+
A conversation-led text message — or sequence of messages — sent to a segment of your contact list. Unlike a traditional bulk SMS tool, every reply is handled by Niora in your voice, qualifying the lead and booking the appointment without you touching a single message.
How is this different from a bulk SMS service?+
Bulk SMS tools send messages. They don't handle replies. Niora sends the message and then runs the conversation on every reply — qualifying, answering, booking, or opting out — automatically. The campaign is the start of the conversation, not the end.
How does opt-out and TCPA compliance work?+
STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT and CANCEL are honoured automatically and logged. Niora is 10DLC-registered and A2P-compliant, with quiet hours, frequency caps, and consent tracking built in by default. You stay on the right side of TCPA without thinking about it.
Can I import my existing contact list?+
Yes — CSV upload or direct CRM sync from HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Zoho, Close and more. Niora honours existing opt-outs, de-duplicates on import, and tags the source automatically.
Can I personalise messages for each contact?+
Yes — {{FirstName}}, {{LastService}}, {{NextDueDate}}, {{Vehicle}}, {{Address}} and any custom field in your CRM. Niora swaps them in per contact and previews the final message before send so nothing weird goes out.
What types of campaigns can I send?+
Four types: one-shot blasts, multi-day drip sequences, trigger-based messages (service anniversaries, renewals, birthdays), and large blast lists with AI handling every reply. Same inbox, same automation, different shape.
What happens to replies overnight or on weekends?+
Niora handles them the moment they land — 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Quiet hours can be set per campaign for outbound, but inbound replies are always answered in seconds.
How quickly are campaigns set up?+
Most take under 2 minutes once your list is loaded. Write the message, pick the segment, schedule or send. The first campaign of a new account is usually live the same day setup completes.
What does it cost compared to a sales coordinator?+
A part-time outreach coordinator runs $30,000–$50,000 a year and can send a few hundred personal messages a week. Niora sends thousands, handles every reply, and books the bookings — for a fraction of the cost. Most clients pay back the cost on a single campaign.
Right now, somewhere in your CRM

Your contact list has jobs in it.
They're just not booked yet.
