kwiry Introduces Shortcuts; Add Movies to Netflix Queues and Products to Amazon Wish Lists via Text Messaging

We’re very excited to announce the latest set of features at kwiry today, we’ve had a busy summer….

kwiry shortcuts

With the launch of Shortcuts, you can now use kwiry to directly add movies to your Netflix queue, add products to your Amazon Wish List, and add appointments to your calendar!

For example, if a friend recommends a movie at lunch, simply text “netflix” followed by the movie title to 59479 (k-w-i-r-y). kwiry automatically adds the movie to your Netflix queue and the movie arrives on your doorstep – no more scribbling down the name on a napkin or forgetting the recommendation.

kwiry’s new Shortcuts feature includes the following services:

•    Send a message with “netflix” followed by the name of a movie to kwiry (e.g. netflix mystic river) and the movie will be added to your Netflix queue.

•    Text “amazon” followed by the name of a product (e.g. amazon jawbone headset) to add it to your Amazon Wish List.

•    Add an appointment to your calendar via text message using the shortcut word “task” (e.g. task buy anniversary gift 8-25).

•  Send in multiple kwirys in one text message with the “list” shortcut (e.g. list alicia keys, www.chucknorrisfacts.com, get dry cleaning).

Keep a lookout for more Shortcuts and and a planned Developer’s API, allowing others to create their own shortcuts for kwiry users.

Along with the launch of Shortcuts, we’re updating our popular “It’s On Us” promotion. Each week, we’ll randomly select a kwiry Shortcut to Amazon or Netflix, and the person who sent it in will receive an item from their Amazon Wish List or a free month of their Netflix subscription as a gift from kwiry.
