LivingTree Announces SMS Text Capability

    AUSTIN, TX, August 11, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today LivingTree announced its latest platform feature, SMS texting. This further complements a full feature set aimed at simplifying community engagement. LivingTree's engagement platform now allows direct texting to mobile phone numbers as an option when posting to community members.

As the most requested feature from LivingTree users, input from around the globe was used to develop the new feature. LivingTree's SMS text feature aligns with LivingTree's hierarchical sharing structure and simplicity. From school district leadership to classroom teacher, users are able to select the text option when sharing information. Upon sending, the text will automatically flow into LivingTree conversation feeds for automatic translation and two-way conversation purposes.

"We're extremely excited to continue to deliver on our mission to connect everyone who helps raise and develop children. Offering texting as a platform feature allows us to do this and further simplify communication and engagement for our users," says LivingTree Chief Technology Officer Nicholas Walker.

Texting capability further empowers each of LivingTree's districts, schools, classrooms, and organizations to simplify its communication and engagement practices by using one safe, secure network to share texts, posts, alerts, files, events, media, and content. Users can also volunteer for activities, send and receive private direct messages and access directory listings. The LivingTree network can be accessed via the web, or any iPhone or Android product. It supports translation in 40+ languages, is built on the latest web and mobile technologies and backed by a highly scalable cloud deployment.

Founded in 2012, LivingTree's mission is to connect the people who raise, develop, and educate our children. LivingTree empowers leaders and organizations to connect, share, and coordinate up, down and across all levels of their private, secure social network. LivingTree helps build partnership and community between all members of the network including administrators, teachers, parents, and students.
