One notification service under everything you run.

Appointment reminders, order updates, password resets, review requests, the Tuesday promo. Most businesses have these scattered across five tools with five opt-out lists. We run one service under all of them: one place for templates, quiet hours, opt-outs and delivery logs, with a real desk on the phone when a message is not enough.

Order notifications for an e-commerce brand

Transactional first, marketing second, one consent record per customer.

  1. At checkout · Email · SMS

    Consent: transactional

    Order confirmed, by email and SMS

    Order number, what was bought, what happens next. From your domain and your number, not ours.

  2. When the label prints · SMS · WhatsApp

    Consent: transactional

    Shipped, with tracking, by SMS or WhatsApp

    On whichever channel the customer used last. One tracking link, no login.

  3. Delivery, then day 3 · SMS · Email

    Consent: transactional

    Delivered, with a review ask three days later

    The delivered note goes out on the carrier scan. The review ask waits three days and goes once.

  4. Day 60 · Email · SMS

    Consent: marketing

    Win-back at 60 days, only with marketing consent

    Skipped for anyone who never opted in, or who has replied STOP since. Quiet hours respected.

One consent record per customer

Consent: transactional

Tied to the order the customer placed. Sent to the details they gave at checkout.

Consent: marketing

Only to customers who ticked the box, and never again after a STOP.

A STOP on any channel stops marketing on every channel. The order updates still send, because the customer still has an order.
