Texting

Two-way SMS, Not a ticket channel

A shared inbox for SMS sessions, plus auto-replies and bulk campaigns. Replies, assignment, and consent live here — SMS is not folded into unified tickets.

Overview

The SMS workspace for car wash operators

HelloWash texting is a conversation in an SMS session. Staff assign, comment, tag, and resolve those sessions. An AI role on a message is an auto-reply or campaign seed, not a back-and-forth SMS agent. Marketing lists and flows can send SMS when consent allows.

Key Features

What Makes It Powerful

Two-way inbox

Sessions that share a customer phone stitch into one thread. Resolve, pending, and open apply to the selected session.

Auto-replies

AI can send a first outbound or auto-reply. AI-only sessions are coverage, not resolved Support Team work.

Bulk SMS campaigns

Send from marketing lists, pasted numbers, or a CSV. A customer reply converts into an SMS session.

Team assignment

Filter the inbox by assignee. Multiple staff can work the same corporate inbox with location scope.

Consent and STOP

Profile opt-in, SMS opt-out, and marketing suppressions stay distinct. Unknown consent is not treated as yes.

Delivery and FRT

Track delivery on the session. First response time for SMS uses your corporate workday.

Use Cases

Built for Real Car Wash Scenarios

Service alerts

Bulk-notify members about an outage, then handle replies in the inbox.

Campaign replies

A reply to a bulk send becomes a session seeded with the original outbound message.

Membership reminders

Flows can text on last-washed or membership-status changes, then stop on opt-out.

Not a ticket

Customer history still shows related SMS next to tickets. The work itself stays an SMS session.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SMS a ticket?
No. Unified tickets cover calls, email, webforms, internal work, employee requests, fleet, and webchat. SMS uses SMS sessions with their own assignment and status.
Does HelloWash run a conversational SMS agent?
Not today. An AI message is an auto-reply or the outbound seed of a campaign. People carry the conversation after that.
