BUSINESS SMS

Email gets ignored. Texts get read.

Customers ignore email and screen unknown callers, but they read texts within minutes. Portal's Canadian SMS platform sends the messages that matter (reminders, alerts, sign-in codes and automated updates) through a simple API your systems can plug into, within CRTC rules.

Automated notifications

Send appointment reminders, service alerts, order confirmations and outage notices automatically, triggered by the systems you already use through our REST API.

Two-factor authentication

Send one-time sign-in codes fast. Make logins safer without setting up your own carrier connections.

Staff alerting

Notify on-call staff, escalate incidents to the right people, and keep your team informed of critical events — even when email isn’t fast enough.

Simple API integration

A clean REST API with clear documentation. Send messages in minutes from any platform, application, or automation tool that can make an HTTP request.

Enterprise gateway, SMB simplicity

Our SMS delivery runs on carrier-grade SMPP infrastructure — the same kind trusted by large enterprises. You get that reliability without the complexity of direct carrier contracts or the overhead of managing your own gateway.

✓Carrier-grade Backbone
✓High deliverability for Canadian numbers
✓No carrier contracts to manage
✓Delivery receipts and status callbacks
✓Scales with your message volume
✓Portal-managed setup and support

Responsible SMS by design

Our SMS service is built for messages people expect: account alerts, service notices and operational updates. We don't send bulk marketing or promotional campaigns. That keeps your messages within CRTC rules and keeps carrier delivery reliable.

✓Transactional messages only
✓Compliant with CRTC CASL guidelines
✓No bulk broadcast or marketing campaigns
✓Audit logs for all sent messages
✓Portal guidance on appropriate use cases
