Bextin
BETAEarly access is open now

Team texting that tells you who said yes.

Send work texts from your phone or computer to one person, a section, or your whole staff, and see every answer in one place. When someone calls out, the first YES gets the shift. Nothing for employees to download.

We'll email you. We never add you to a text list.
