Add iMessage to Your Salesloft Motion
The short answer
Salesloft can text, but it's carrier SMS: the Dialer + Messenger product sends one-to-one sales texts that land as green bubbles from a registered number. Blue Reacher runs a blue-bubble iMessage layer beside your cadences: triggered from the CRM Salesloft already syncs to, or through a middle layer, sent from a dedicated line, with replies and delivery states reporting back. No A2P registration required for the line, and $249 per month with unlimited iMessages. Lines pace at 50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day to stay deliverable; replies are never metered.
Key takeaways
- Salesloft's Dialer + Messenger sends one-to-one SMS from registered numbers.
- Salesloft syncs to Salesforce or HubSpot.
- The highest-yield moments, in the order teams usually wire them:
How a message falls back
What can Salesloft texting do today?
Salesloft's Dialer + Messenger sends one-to-one SMS from registered numbers. That lands green and rides A2P 10DLC. The executives and owners you chase live in iMessage, where blue bubbles read like a person: 98% opened, 90% read inside three minutes, 2-3x the reply rate of cold email.
- Cadences orchestrate who gets touched when; the iMessage layer takes the touches where being read matters most. They work beside each other, not as rivals.
How does Blue Reacher connect to a Salesloft stack?
Salesloft syncs to Salesforce or HubSpot. A CRM workflow watches for the moment you pick: cadence exhausted, stage change, account going quiet. It calls the Blue Reacher REST API with the contact's mobile and a message built from the record. Or use Zapier, Make, or n8n.
- Replies, delivery states and opt-outs come back over webhooks to the record. The rep sees the iMessage thread next to cadence history, and no automated step lands mid-conversation. STOP replies are detected automatically. White-glove onboarding builds the wiring for you.

Where does iMessage fit a cadence-run motion?
The highest-yield moments, in the order teams usually wire them:
- Cadence exhausted, no reply: the engaged-but-silent contacts get a blue-bubble text referencing the emails they opened, inside the hour
- Meeting booked: confirmation and day-of reminder from the rep's line, where no-show rates actually drop
- Pre-dial warm-up: a short text before the call block lifts connect rates, and the read receipt tells the rep who saw it
- Post-demo follow-up: a voice memo recap from the rep who ran it, which reads far more human than the fifth thread bump
- Closed-lost reactivation: a quarterly one-question revival text over the year's lost deals
How does setup work?
One onboarding call, white-glove. The implementation consultation maps which moments text, the team wires the CRM workflow or middle layer with you, and message intent gets configured so sends read like your reps wrote them. Most teams send their first triggered text within a week, with optimization check-ins after launch.
- Pricing is public: $249 per line per month with unlimited iMessages, dropping to $199 per line at four or more lines, or $1,949 per line per year, about $162.50 a month. Lines pace at 50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day to stay deliverable; replies are never metered. The $449 white-glove activation fee is waived on annual billing. Most teams run one line per rep. If your account lists are missing mobile numbers, the mobile-validated B2B leads add-on fills them at $0.03 per contact from a 700M+ database, billed monthly with the line.
Frequently asked questions
Doesn't Salesloft already have texting?
Salesloft has one-to-one SMS over carrier routes from local-presence numbers, landing green and riding A2P 10DLC. Blue Reacher adds the channel Salesloft doesn't have: blue-bubble iMessage from a dedicated line with read receipts and triggered sequences.
Is there a Blue Reacher app in Salesloft's marketplace?
Not a native tile. Blue Reacher is native on GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Close, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Follow Up Boss. Salesloft connects through Salesforce or HubSpot workflows, or Zapier, Make, or n8n. White-glove onboarding builds it for you.
Can an iMessage step live inside a cadence?
Not as a native step type. The pattern that works is running the iMessage layer beside the cadence: the trigger fires from the CRM when a contact hits the moment you pick, and a reply writes back to the record so the rep pauses the cadence for that contact. In practice reps see it as one motion with a second channel.
Do I need A2P 10DLC registration for the iMessage line?
No. A2P 10DLC governs US carrier SMS routes, which is what applies to SMS texting; Blue Reacher's line sends iMessage, so there is no A2P registration required. Contacts who can't receive iMessage get automatic RCS, then SMS, fallback, and TCPA applies to your texting either way.
What does it cost next to a Salesloft contract?
$249 per line per month with unlimited iMessages (50 opted-in / 30 cold new contacts a day), $199 per line at four or more lines, or $1,949 per line per year, about $162.50 a month, with the $449 activation waived on annual billing. No per-message fees, so the line's cost doesn't move with send volume the way metered SMS does.
