Lower messaging costs

The American Cornhole League (ACL)—promotes and develops the sport of Cornhole for all ages and skill levels. The organization sets the rules and regulations that govern the sport around the world. With an inclusive philosophy of “anyone can play, anyone can win,” the ACL’s influence can be seen on lawns and fields both in North America and worldwide.


Event notifications—a critical weakness in the team

As they geared up for a crucial tournament for the weekend, the ACL encountered a messaging roadblock. Their vendor was underperforming, with unanswered support requests and a painfully slow 10DLC registration process. This subpar partnership jeopardized the ACL’s ability to update participants in real time.


ACL’s objective was clear—deliver critical event details for the imminent tournament. ACL needed a rapid, dependable solution to ensure messages landed smack on target with players. So they decided to sub in a new player—Telnyx.


Telnyx emerged as a cornstar and rapidly registered a campaign for the League within 24 hours. This quick response allowed the ACL to heave messages for the crucial tournament, scoring a drano. Telnyx's precise game convinced the League to make them a central part of the starting lineup.


Improving the odds by streamlining registrations

Telnyx's streamlined process meant the League could now hit messaging aces without any hitches. With the setup stress behind them, they focused on tournament preparations instead of wrangling communication conundrums. From then on, ACL was air mailing every shot.


Sean Szarkowicz, CTO of the ACL, says: "Telnyx's rapid response was a game-changer. We were racing against time, and their ability to set up a campaign within 24 hours was truly remarkable. Players received crucial alerts, adding an exciting edge to the experience."

Additionally, Telnyx helped the ACL reduce costs and avoid unregistered traffic charges.


In light of the hurdles, Telnyx's prompt campaign registration for the ACL marked a critical breakthrough. This achievement resolved the immediate messaging challenges and paved the way for streamlined, economical solutions. As the League continues to elevate its messaging strategy, Telnyx remains ready to ensure seamless communication across the global cornhole community.


The ACL’s experience drives home the necessity of responsive support and user-friendly processes. It also underscores the value of reliable communication, especially when dealing with last-minute event notifications.


The next round with Telnyx

In the future, ACL plans to continue using 10DLC but also wants to explore Short Code Numbers, a high-volume alternative.

Reflecting on the partnership, Sean commented, "The cost efficiency we gained by partnering with Telnyx was an unexpected win. We're eagerly looking ahead to continuing.”
