The record

Messaging use: Routee SMS supports transactional messages such as OTPs, alerts, receipts and shipping updates, as well as promotional campaigns.
Coverage: Routee describes its API as sending SMS messages to and from any country.
Bulk campaigns: Bulk campaigns can send the same message to many recipients, use contacts and groups, personalize with contact labels, schedule sends and run in test mode.
Inbound messaging: Inbound SMS can be delivered to a customer webhook for two-way flows, including replies and keyword handling.
Delivery tracking: Messages receive a unique tracking ID, and delivery progress can be checked through tracking endpoints or callbacks.
Message analysis: An analysis endpoint estimates message encoding, character count, billable parts and destination-specific cost without sending the message.
API format: The Routee API uses REST-style HTTP methods, JSON request and response bodies, and OAuth 2.0 authorization.
Security controls: Routee documents dashboard two-factor authentication, dashboard IP allow-lists and application-level IP whitelisting.
Rate limit: The documented Routee API limit is 10,000 requests per minute, with higher limits available by contacting support.
Destination format: SMS recipient numbers must use E.164 international format and contain no more than 15 digits after the plus sign.
Integration options: Routee lists integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, WordPress, Zendesk, Zapier, Slack and GitHub.
Trial: Routee's bulk SMS gateway page invites users to request a free trial; it does not state the trial duration there.
Transactional and campaigns: The API supports individual transactional SMS and bulk campaigns with scheduled sends, test mode, and contact personalization.
Two-way SMS: Inbound SMS can be sent to a server webhook for replies and other two-way messaging flows.
