Customer communication

Every Bride Conversation in One Place

Texts, emails, and templates on one timeline per bride — visible to whoever picks up the thread next. And the messages every boutique sends anyway — reminders, arrival notices, follow-ups — can send themselves.

Two-way texting

Text Brides Without Giving Out Your Cell Number

Brides answer texts, not voicemails. CloudBridal gives your shop two-way SMS from inside the system, tied to each customer's record — so every conversation is visible to whoever picks it up next, and nobody's personal phone becomes the shop line.

Delivery status is right there in the thread, so you know whether your message landed instead of wondering.

  • Two-way SMS conversations on the customer profile
  • Email and text in one timeline — no "what did we tell her?"
  • SMS and email templates for the messages you send every day
  • Delivery status visible on every message

Automation

The Follow-Ups You Keep Meaning to Send

Every boutique knows the messages that matter: the reminder the day before the appointment, the thank-you after the first visit, the arrival notice when the gown lands, the review request after the wedding. CloudBridal sends them automatically on triggers you configure — even on the Saturdays your floor is slammed.

Messages personalize themselves with merge fields — her name, her appointment time, her order details — so automated never reads as robotic.

  • Appointment reminders and confirmations that cut no-shows
  • "Your gown has arrived" notices the day the order is received
  • Post-appointment follow-ups that bring undecided brides back
  • Payment reminders that collect balances without awkward calls

Automated email is built in. Fully automated SMS sending uses your own connected Twilio account — see the FAQ below.

Templates

Write It Once, Send It Perfectly Forever

Templates turn your best message into your every-time message. Craft the welcome email, the appointment recap, and the congratulations note once — with your shop's voice and branding — and reuse them manually or in automations.

  • Rich email templates with your branding and merge fields
  • SMS templates for the short messages you type ten times a day
  • Use templates manually in one click, or attach them to automations

Built-in guardrails

Automation You Don't Have to Babysit

Sending more messages only works if every message is welcome. CloudBridal handles the etiquette for you.

Quiet hours

Automated texts respect quiet hours, so no bride gets a 6am buzz about her fitting.

Opt-out handling

STOP requests are honored automatically and recorded — compliance without a checklist.

Merge fields

Names, dates, times, and order details fill in automatically, so every message reads personal.

Smart triggers

Automations fire on real events — bookings, arrivals, status changes — not on clumsy schedules.

Email included

Automated email starts on the Core plan — no extra accounts or connectors needed to begin.

One timeline

Manual and automated messages share the customer timeline, so the story is always complete.
