The idea is:
Add support for Twilio MMS to Twilio Trigger and Twilio Node.
My use case:
Customer communication via MMS: I communicate with my users primarily via Twilio SMS and MMS. Twilio offers MMS messaging support in their API, but N8N Twilio Trigger does not offer MMS features. The MMS API is very similar to the SMS API, but includes the ability to include attachment(s).
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
MMS and SMS offers higher engagement rates than Email and app notifications.
Any resources to support this?
Here are some statistics from JustCall:
- Number of messages sent: In 2021, the US sent roughly 2 trillion SMS and MMS messages.
- Market share: In 2020, SMS had the largest market share at 64.31%, while MMS was the second-largest at $15.50 billion.
- MMS vs SMS performance: MMS messages have a slightly higher average revenue per recipient and a slightly lower unsubscribe rate than SMS messages.
- MMS vs SMS character limit: SMS messages can have up to 160 characters, while MMS messages can have up to 1600 characters.
- MMS vs SMS open rates: MMS and SMS open rates average 98%.
- MMS vs SMS response rates: Consumers are 4.5 times more likely to respond to MMS texts than SMS texts.
- MMS vs SMS click-through rates: MMS has a click-through rate that is nearly 52% higher than SMS.
- MMS vs SMS conversion rates: MMS messaging can have a conversion rate as high as 30%, while SMS messaging has a conversion rate of 10.5% to 16%.
- MMS vs SMS interactive content: Interactive content in SMS or MMS campaigns generates conversions 70% of the time, compared to 36% for passive content
Are you willing to work on this?
I have not contributed to N8N but am open to learning if someone would be willing to guide me. (I’m a C#/Java dev, not nodejs)
