Community

Community is a conversational messaging platform that lets brands, creators, artists, sports teams, media companies, and political organizations reach their audiences directly over SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, Apple Messages for Business, and RCS. Founded in 2019 and remote-first, Community pairs a campaign-and-flows product with a developer surface: an Async REST API to send Direct Messages, create and update members, set custom member data, manage subcommunities (tags), and opt members out; a Data Export API for member, campaign, and link analytics snapshots; and outbound webhooks for inbound/outbound messages and member lifecycle events. API access is provisioned per account by the Community team rather than self-serve.

Community publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: member-data API, messaging API, and tags API. Tagged areas include Messaging, SMS, Communications, Conversational, and Marketing.

The Community catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Community’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, support, pricing, and 21 more developer resources.
