Send iMessages from Clay
The short answer
Yes. Connect Blue Reacher to Clay through the HTTP API or webhook integrations and any enriched lead in your tables can get a blue-bubble text from a dedicated iMessage line, with replies, delivery states, and opt-outs syncing back automatically. No A2P registration required, no per-message fees. Teams that move their Clay outbound from SMS to iMessage book 2-3x more appointments where a booking funnel is the motion. Pricing is public: $249 per line per month, unlimited iMessages. Lines pace at 50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day to stay deliverable; replies are never metered.

Hi Alex, following up on your demo request. Worth a quick chat this week?

Yeah, tomorrow works.
Key takeaways
- Because the data work is done, and SMS wastes it.
- Blue Reacher makes "send iMessage" a Clay workflow step.
- One white-glove call configures your HTTP API or webhook on chosen tables, with message intent tuning so texts sound like your team.
How a message falls back
Why do Clay teams move their texting to iMessage?
Because the data work is done, and SMS wastes it. A Clay flow enriches numbers, researches accounts, waits for signals, then sends a message that looks like the blast traffic prospects already ignore.
- A blue-bubble text reads like a message from a person, which is why customers book 2-3x more appointments where a booking funnel exists. Meetings on the calendar, not reply rates, pay for the Clay credits.
- Most Clay teams email enriched leads but leave mobile numbers unused. Blue Reacher turns that into a working channel, no A2P registration, so data produces pipeline.
What does the Blue Reacher integration for Clay do?
Blue Reacher makes "send iMessage" a Clay workflow step. Add HTTP API or webhook; qualifying rows send blue-bubble texts. Compose per row using Clay's fields and AI.
- Replies, delivery states, opt-outs write into Clay or CRM; STOP auto-detected. Schedule sends, run sequences, attach media. Non-iMessage contacts get RCS then SMS automatically.
- GoHighLevel users get native Blue Reacher integration. Clay connects via the Blue Reacher API and webhooks; our team wires it during onboarding, so you skip docs.

Frequently asked questions
Can Clay send text messages natively?
No. Clay has no native texting channel. The standard route is Clay's HTTP API or Webhook integrations. Blue Reacher is that messaging platform for iMessage: blue-bubble sends triggered from your tables, with replies and delivery states posted back.
Do I need A2P 10DLC registration to text leads from Clay?
Not with Blue Reacher. No A2P registration required, so there's no brand vetting paperwork or waiting period before your first send. Messages go out over iMessage from your dedicated line, with automatic RCS and SMS fallback for contacts who can't receive them, and STOP replies are detected and honored automatically.
What happens when a prospect replies or texts STOP?
Replies and per-message delivery states post to webhooks that write into your Clay table or your CRM, so a reply can flip a lead status, alert a rep, or kick off the next step in your workflow. STOP is detected automatically and the contact is suppressed from all future sends without anyone maintaining a list.
What if a contact can't receive iMessages?
Blue Reacher checks iMessage availability before sending. If a contact can't receive iMessage, the message falls back to RCS, then SMS, automatically, so the row still gets worked. You get a delivery state either way, which beats the silence most texting APIs give you.
How much does Blue Reacher cost for Clay users?
$249 per line per month or $1,949 per year ($162.50/mo). Unlimited iMessages, no per-message fees. Lines pace at 50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day; replies never metered. $449 activation waived on annual. Mobile-validated B2B leads ($0.03 per contact) billed monthly. Pricing is public.
