About this video
A short walkthrough from January 2021 of texting customers from inside Flyntlok, through a partnership with Twilio.
It starts a point of sale document with parts that aren't in stock and sets the customer's mobile number, so they get a text when special order parts arrive. Then it texts a question with photos from a work order in progress and carries on a two-way conversation from the customer dashboard. With releases about every two weeks since, some screens have changed.
- Parts-arrived texts. Add the customer's mobile number and Flyntlok texts them when special order parts come in.
- Questions from the work order. Send the customer a text with one or more photos, mid-job.
- Two-way conversations. Text back and forth from the customer dashboard, pictures included.
