Description
Texty is a lightweight SMS notification plugin for WordPress.
With so many emails coming to your inbox, often it becomes overwhelming to get top of things that you feel most important. A text notification on your phone, WhatsApp, or Telegram may be more desired.

How does it work?
Texty integrates with 3rd party SMS providers to add support for text messaging.
If you need an SMS notification when a user registers your website, Texty can send a text alert to you when someone registers. Similarly, when a different event occurs in different plugins, Texty can send a text notification depending upon the event.
Another example might be an order notification from WooCommerce. Upon receiving an order, you might decide to receive a text notification, as well as your customer may get a text notification when the order status changes.
