The Channel

The One Channel Customers Already Have Open

Your customer doesn't need to download anything, create an account, or remember a password. They just need a phone that can receive a text, which is to say, any phone. That reach is worth building a real workflow around, instead of leaving it to whichever agent happens to have a personal phone plan.

How It Works

How BoldDesk's SMS Customer Support Software Works

Here's what actually happens when a customer texts your business, not a features list, the real sequence.

A Text Arrives as a Conversation

No ticket yet, no queue, an SMS lands as a live conversation, the same as live chat.

AI Agent Checks the Real Order

Through AI Actions, it looks up the actual order in Shopify or WooCommerce, not a guess or a canned reply.

AI Actions Reschedules It Directly

Confirms what's actually schedulable and updates it on the spot, no "someone will follow up."

Handoff Keeps the Context

If it needs a person's judgment, the agent opens the thread with that same order and CRM data already visible. No "can you give me your order number again."

AI Copilot Drafts the Reply

Pulling from that same order context, so the agent is editing, not starting from a blank line.

Linked to a Ticket for Tracking

One click keeps a record for anything that needs longer-term follow-up. Nothing here required leaving BoldDesk.

You decide how customers reach a human: allow Transfer to Agent, keep AI fully in charge, or route escalations to a ticket instead.

What's Running Underneath

Stop Juggling a Separate Texting Tool

No separate texting app for your team to check. No syncing two inboxes. It's the same workspace as everything else.

Multiple Numbers, One Dashboard

SMS runs through a connected provider, Twilio today, with more planned. Up to 10 numbers per plan, one per brand.

SMS customer service software managing multiple phone numbers and communication channels from a unified support dashboard.

MMS in the Thread

Photos, videos, and documents shared directly in the conversation, configurable per number.

SMS support conversation with MMS attachments, including images, documents, and media shared directly within customer message threads.

Auto-Assignment

Incoming SMS routed to the right agent or team automatically, based on brand and topic.

Automated SMS ticket routing and agent assignment workflow for efficient customer support management.

Full Conversation History

Every past SMS, alongside every other channel, in one customer record.

Integrations

The Data That Actually Matters, Already There

Instead of listing every app BoldDesk connects to, here's what pays off specifically for SMS.

Shopify

Order history, shipping status, and customer profile visible next to the SMS thread.

WooCommerce

Same order and customer context, right beside the conversation, for WooCommerce stores.

Salesforce

CRM context synced to the same view as the SMS conversation.

Slack

Internal alerts when a new SMS comes in, so nothing sits unnoticed.

Plus many more integrations across CRM, payments, scheduling, and productivity

SMS customer service software integrations with Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Stripe, Calendly, Jira, and Zapier.

Beyond Reactive Support

SMS Isn't Just for Waiting on Customers to Reach Out

Unlike WhatsApp's approval windows, SMS has no restriction on when you can message, send it the moment it's useful.

Reply From Wherever You Are

SMS moves fast, a customer expects a reply in minutes, not by end of day. The BoldDesk mobile app means an agent away from their desk can pick up that same late-night order-status text, see the same order details, and reply without waiting until morning.

  • Mobile App: stay connected on the go, never miss a customer query, for iOS and Android.

  • Mobile Support SDK: embeds a full help center (tickets, chat, and knowledge base) for iOS, Android, Flutter, or React Native, if you need more than chat alone.

Built for Your Industry

SMS Support That Fits How Your Business Actually Runs

E-Commerce

Order changes, delivery checks, and reschedules handled by AI Agent directly in the SMS thread, using live Shopify or WooCommerce data.

Logistics & Delivery

A shipment is delayed. Send an SMS with the updated delivery date before the question comes in, any time, with no approval window to wait on.

Financial Services

SOC 2 and GDPR-compliant conversations with role-based access control, so account discussions over SMS meet the same bar as the rest of your stack.

Real Estate & Travel

Booking confirmations and reminders sent by text, the channel travelers and buyers actually check on the go.
