SpringEdge Email to SMS lets you send SMS from any email application — Outlook, Gmail, Thunderbird, Yahoo Mail, or any system that can send email. Compose an email, address it to the recipient's mobile number at the SpringEdge domain, and your message is delivered as an SMS instantly. No API integration, no software installation, no technical setup required. Ideal for businesses that want to add SMS capability to existing CRM, ERP, monitoring, and helpdesk systems without writing a single line of code.
How Email to SMS Works
SpringEdge's Email to SMS gateway bridges the gap between email and mobile messaging. You compose a standard email and address it to the recipient's mobile number in a specific format — for example, 919XXXXXXXXX@sms.springedge.com. The subject line carries your registered Sender ID (header), and the email body becomes the SMS content.
When you hit send, SpringEdge receives the email, validates the sender's email address against your authorised list, extracts the message content, matches it against your DLT-approved templates, and routes the SMS through the fastest available carrier path. The entire process takes seconds — from sending the email to the SMS arriving on the recipient's phone.
This approach requires zero technical integration. Any device, application, or platform that can send email can now send SMS. Your CRM can trigger SMS via email rules. Your monitoring system can forward alerts as SMS. Your team can send SMS from their regular email client without learning a new tool or interface.
For businesses that need programmatic access, SpringEdge also provides a full RESTful SMS API. For a broader overview of our messaging capabilities, visit the SMS & RCS service page.
Why Choose Email to SMS
The simplest way to send SMS from your business —
no development, no new tools, just email.
Zero Integration Effort
No coding, no API calls, no SDK installations. If you can send an email, you can send an SMS. Works immediately after account setup with no technical configuration.
Works with Any Email Client
Outlook, Gmail, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail — any email client, webmail, or email-enabled system. Also works with CRM, ERP, and monitoring tools that send email.
Fully DLT Compliant
SpringEdge automatically matches your email content against registered DLT templates. Your messages are validated and delivered in full compliance with TRAI regulations.
Getting Started in 4 Simple Steps
From signup to your first SMS — all without writing a single line of code.
Register
Sign up for a SpringEdge account and configure your authorised sender email address in the dashboard. Only emails from approved addresses are processed.
Compose
Write an email. In the To field, enter 919XXXXXXXXX@sms.springedge.com. Use the subject line for your Sender ID and the body for your message.
Send
Hit send from your email client. SpringEdge receives the email, validates the sender, matches the DLT template, and routes the message through the fastest carrier path.
Delivered
The SMS reaches the recipient's phone within seconds. You receive a delivery confirmation email with the message status, timestamp, and delivery details.
CRM & ERP INTEGRATION
Trigger SMS from Salesforce, SAP, Zoho & More
Most CRM and ERP platforms can send automated emails based on workflow triggers. With SpringEdge Email to SMS, those same workflow emails can deliver SMS to customers and prospects. Configure your Salesforce workflow to email number@sms.springedge.com when a lead status changes, a deal closes, or a support ticket is updated — and the recipient gets an SMS instantly.
This works with SAP, Zoho, HubSpot, Freshworks, Microsoft Dynamics, and any platform with email automation. No plugins, no custom connectors, no API keys embedded in your CRM. Just an email rule that triggers SMS delivery.
SERVER & INFRASTRUCTURE ALERTS
Turn Email Alerts into Instant SMS Notifications
Infrastructure monitoring tools like Nagios, Zabbix, Grafana, Datadog, and AWS CloudWatch are designed to send email alerts when something goes wrong. With SpringEdge Email to SMS, those critical alerts are also delivered as SMS — ensuring your DevOps and IT team never misses a server outage, high CPU warning, or security incident.
Configure your monitoring tool to CC or forward alerts to 919XXXXXXXXX@sms.springedge.com, and the on-call engineer receives an SMS within seconds. No scripting, no webhook configuration — just add an email recipient and your monitoring stack gains SMS alerting capability.
LEGACY SYSTEMS & NON-TECHNICAL TEAMS
SMS Capability Without API or Development
Not every business has a development team or modern tech stack. Email to SMS is built for organisations running legacy ERP systems, on-premise software, or manual workflows where API integration is impractical or too expensive. If the system can send an email, it can now send an SMS through SpringEdge.
Non-technical teams — HR, marketing, operations, administration — can send SMS from their regular email client. Send appointment reminders, internal announcements, vendor communications, or customer follow-ups without learning a new tool or requesting IT support.
Email to SMS Platform Features

Frequently Asked Questions about Email to SMS
-
What is Email to SMS?
Email to SMS is a gateway service that converts standard emails into SMS messages. You compose an email addressed to a mobile number at the SpringEdge domain (e.g.,
919XXXXXXXXX@sms.springedge.com), and the message is delivered as an SMS to that number. No API integration or coding is required — any email client or email-enabled system can send SMS through this gateway. -
How do I send SMS from my email?
Compose a new email in your email client. In the To field, enter the recipient's mobile number followed by
@sms.springedge.com(e.g.,919876543210@sms.springedge.com). Enter your Sender ID in the subject line, and type your SMS message in the email body. Hit send — SpringEdge processes the email and delivers the SMS within seconds. Your email address must be pre-approved in your SpringEdge dashboard. -
Which email clients are supported?
SpringEdge Email to SMS works with any email client or service that can send standard emails. This includes Microsoft Outlook (desktop and web), Gmail, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, Zoho Mail, and any other SMTP-based email system. It also works with CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM), ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), monitoring tools (Nagios, Zabbix), and any application that can send automated emails.
-
Is Email to SMS DLT compliant?
Yes. SpringEdge automatically matches your email content against your registered DLT templates. The system validates the message format, sender ID, and content against TRAI-approved templates before routing the SMS. If the content does not match any approved template, the message is rejected and you are notified via email. This ensures full DLT compliance without manual template ID management.
-
Can I send bulk SMS via email?
Yes. Add multiple mobile numbers in the To, CC, or BCC fields of your email. Each number receives an individual SMS. This is suitable for team notifications, department alerts, and small-to-medium group messaging. For large-scale bulk campaigns involving thousands of recipients, we recommend using the SMS API or the SpringEdge web dashboard for better performance, personalisation, and campaign tracking.
-
How do I get delivery reports?
SpringEdge sends delivery status reports back to your email address for every SMS sent through the Email to SMS gateway. You receive confirmation of successful delivery, failure notifications with reasons, and pending status updates. Delivery reports are also available in the SpringEdge web dashboard with detailed analytics and logs.
-
Can I use this with my CRM/ERP system?
Yes. Any CRM, ERP, or business application that can send automated emails can use SpringEdge Email to SMS. Configure workflow rules in Salesforce, SAP, HubSpot, Zoho, Freshworks, or Microsoft Dynamics to send emails to
number@sms.springedge.comon trigger events (e.g., new lead, order placed, support ticket updated). The recipient receives an SMS — no connectors, plugins, or custom development needed. -
Is there a limit on messages per day?
There is no fixed daily limit on the number of SMS you can send via Email to SMS. Message volume is governed by your account balance and plan. SpringEdge processes thousands of email-to-SMS conversions per minute. For very high-volume use cases (10,000+ messages per day), consider using the SMS API for faster processing and advanced features like batching and personalisation.
-
How is Email to SMS different from the SMS API?
Email to SMS is designed for zero-integration SMS sending — you send an email and it is converted to SMS. No coding or technical setup is required. The SMS API is a RESTful HTTP API designed for developers who want to programmatically send SMS from their applications. The API offers additional features like dynamic personalisation, batch sending, scheduling, webhooks, and detailed analytics. Both methods deliver through the same high-performance carrier network.
-
What is the cost of Email to SMS?
Email to SMS uses the same pay-as-you-go pricing as SpringEdge's standard SMS service. There is no additional charge for using the email gateway. Your per-SMS rate depends on your purchased volume tier — higher volumes receive lower per-message rates. Visit our pricing page for current rates, or contact our sales team for custom enterprise pricing.
