Worldwide reach
Canada and the United States across the major carriers, and internationally through our carrier partners.
Text messaging that reaches any phone, anywhere
Primal Connect is a REST API for sending and receiving SMS. One HTTP call per message, JSON in and out, running on twenty years of carrier infrastructure.
Free for the first 10,000 messages a month. No card required.
What it is
One endpoint, one token, one call
Post a message to an HTTPS endpoint and we deliver it to the handset. Replies come back to your callback URL, or wait in a queue for you to collect. There is nothing to install.
Integrated in a day
A single POST sends a message. Most teams have it wired into their application in an afternoon.
Carrier-grade underneath
Runs on Amazon Cloud, on top of the billing and messaging platform Primal Technologies has operated for twenty years.
Send your first message with one command. Sign up, copy the
token from the response, and post to
https://app.primalconnect.com/api/sms. The
API reference has a curl example you can
paste straight into a terminal.
Use cases
What people build with it
Thirteen patterns we see most often. Every one of them is a single API call.
Appointments and reminders
No-shows are expensive. A reminder text goes straight to the customer and gets read, without the staff hours that phoning costs.

Weather warnings, security alerts, delayed schedules. Anything that matters in the next hour is better as a text than an email.
Read more →Verification codes
Confirm a phone number at sign-up with a one-time code. Stops fake registrations and leaves you with numbers you know are real.
