Multi-channel communication
07 · Multi-Channel Follow-Up

Meet buyers where they actually are

Email, WhatsApp, SMS. The right message, on the right channel, at the right moment.

Jo already knows that some buyers reply to WhatsApp immediately but ignore emails for weeks. The platform tracks preferred channels per buyer and routes every follow-up accordingly, automatically.

Email
Best for new season launches, line sheets, and formal buyers. Tracked opens and clicks.

SMS
Appointment reminders and urgent nudges. High open rate, low friction.

One buyer. Every channel. Full history.

The dashboard shows every touchpoint with a buyer in a single timeline, regardless of channel. Jo can see that she emailed Amanda on Monday, Amanda didn't reply, the system sent a WhatsApp on Wednesday, Amanda read it but hasn't responded yet.

No more wondering "did I already chase her?" or switching between apps to piece together the conversation history.

Channel preference is learned automatically over time. If a buyer consistently replies to WhatsApp and ignores email, the system shifts their default channel. Jo doesn't need to configure anything.
