Sinch, a leading provider of mobile customer engagement solutions, recently announced the arrival of its new Conversation API. This robust omni-channel solution for communication will help technology platforms and businesses to engage with customers all over the globe. The Conversation API drives better outcomes in customer acquisition, and experience, while reducing churn rates.

Through the Sinch Conversation API, companies will be able to create engaging conversations with customers through the channels they already use. This includes connections with WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, SMS, and more. Users only need to implement the Conversation API once, which saves technology partners and businesses the development and time costs of working independently with the channels they want to use.

The Conversation API ensures that companies can adhere to the channel-specific and country-specific regulations that are crucial to them.

Next-gen messaging solutions can have significant advantages for businesses looking to reach their audience. For instance, mobile messaging channels like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp have an average open rate of 98% compared to only 24.79% for email. These channels also enable better two-way conversations between customers and businesses. Sinch can offer automated 2-way conversations through the Chatlayer.ai technology. The company also offers managed services for brands that need more help leveraging mobile channels.

Sinch is opening the door for more companies to discover the benefits of conversational messaging. Some companies are already seeing increased conversion rates of between 30 and 50% compared to communication via SMS and email.
