How the Integration Works
The integration connects Spraye’s existing text messaging functionality with Captivated. When a supported text message is initiated through Spraye, Captivated handles the text delivery, allowing the customer to reply and continue the conversation with your team inside the Captivated platform. This means you can:- Send customer text messages through supported Spraye workflows.
- Receive customer replies in Captivated.
- Continue two-way conversations with customers.
- Communicate with customers before and after services.
- Use Captivated’s additional messaging features for follow-ups, reminders, Google review collection and customer engagement.
Spraye remains your service management platform. Captivated provides the two-way messaging experience, so your team can manage SMS conversations without replacing Spraye.
Send Text Messages From Spraye
Once your integration is configured, you can continue using Spraye’s supported text messaging options. For example, technicians can use Spraye’s On My Way messaging functionality to notify customers about their upcoming arrival. Instead of relying solely on one-way notifications, Captivated allows the customer to respond and continue communicating with your team. Spraye’s available messaging options, automated communications, and message content are managed through its existing settings. You also gain the ability to send text messages up to 700 characters when using Captivated. However, we recommend keeping texts to one or two segments.

Manage Customer Replies in Captivated
When customers reply to messages delivered through Captivated, your team can manage those conversations directly in Captivated. From the conversation, you can:- Read incoming customer messages.
- Respond to customer questions.
- Continue discussing services or appointment details.
- Share additional information or attachments.
- Collaborate with your team to manage customer communication.
Customize Your Messages
Spraye supports message customization through its existing messaging settings and available merge fields. Merge fields can automatically insert relevant customer or service information into supported Spraye messages.
