Send iMessages from Email

Send iMessages from Email — Introducing the Tuco Email Bridge

What if you could send an iMessage to any phone number just by sending an email?

Now you can.

How It Works

1. Open Gmail, Outlook, or any email client
2. Set the To field to +19042956129@send.tuco.ai
3. Write your message in the email body
4. Hit Send

That's it. Tuco receives your email, sends the message as an iMessage through your active line, and emails you a confirmation.

Why We Built This

Not everyone wants to log into a dashboard or write API code. Sales reps on the go need to fire off a quick follow-up. Customer success teams want to reach a client without switching apps. The Email Bridge lets anyone on your team send iMessages from the tool they already live in — email.

Email Formats

Basic — uses your first available line:

To: +19042956129@send.tuco.ai

Specific line — choose which number to send from:

To: +19042956129-line_abc123@send.tuco.ai

Find your line ID on the Lines page in the Tuco dashboard.

Security

Your email address must be registered in Tuco. We don't rely solely on SPF/DKIM — we look up your email in our user database to verify you're authorized to use the bridge. Unauthorized senders get a bounce email explaining they need to register first.

Error Handling

If something goes wrong, you get a clear bounce email:

• Invalid phone number — check the E.164 format (+country code + number)
• Not authorized — your email isn't registered in Tuco
• No active lines — set up a line at app.tuco.ai/lines/purchase
• Send failed — the recipient may not have iMessage

Getting Started

1. Make sure your email is registered in your Tuco workspace
2. Have at least one active iMessage line
3. Send an email to +phone@send.tuco.ai

No configuration needed. No DNS changes required for users — the bridge is already live.
