Key features offered by Exotel are as follows -
1. Missed call
A missed call is a simple way to communicate with your customers at no cost. The origin of missed call marketing is based on the way people in the Indian subcontinent communicate. Brands have been cashing in on this by customizing the response to a simple missed call. A missed call can be followed by an SMS, another call, or a combination of the two.
2. Text Notification
You can send textual notifications to your customers.
3. Media Notification
You can send messages containing images or documents (pdf) to your customers.
4. Interactive Notification
You can use message templates that can be sent with customized call-to-action buttons and quick replies.
