ElevateStudio Features SMS & Conversations
ElevateStudio feature
Every client conversation in one inbox .
Two-way SMS and a threaded inbox for email, SMS, and chat. One conversation per client, tied to the job.
Photographers lose inquiries in the gaps between apps. The text comes to a personal phone, the chat sits on the website, the email is buried under gallery threads. SMS and Conversations close those gaps. Every channel a client uses lands in one threaded inbox, on the client record, next to the booking and the gallery.
What it does
Inside SMS & Conversations.
Text leads in 60 seconds
A new inquiry can get a real text in under a minute, by hand or through an automation. The five-minute response that wins bookings, made the default instead of a hero move.
Broadcast to a segment
Text 800 past clients about a mini-session day in one send. Build the segment from pipeline stage, last shoot date, or any field, and the right phones light up.
One threaded inbox per client
Email, SMS, and web chat roll into a single conversation per client. Reply from whichever channel they used and never wonder which app the answer lives in.
Tied to the job, and compliant
Every thread sits on the client record next to the booking, contract, and gallery. A dedicated studio number, opt-in capture, and STOP handling keep the SMS side clean.
Why it matters
What this actually changes.
SMS is the channel working studios underuse the most. Open rates sit above 95 percent and a single text to a past-client list can fill a mini-session day. The only thing blocking it is setup: a number, compliance, threaded replies. ElevateStudio handles all of it.
And the unified inbox is where the rest of the app plugs in. AI agents draft replies here, automations send from here, the booking calendar and the client record sit one click away. The inbox is the workbench the whole studio runs on.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need a separate phone number?
ElevateStudio provisions a dedicated studio number so client texts do not run through your personal phone. Pick a local area code or a toll-free number.
Will Instagram DMs and web chat show up here too?
Conversations threads email, SMS, and web chat by client. Connecting more channels expands the inbox over time, all tied to the same client record.
Is the SMS side compliant?
Yes. Opt-in capture, consent records, and STOP handling are built in, with proper number registration handled as part of setup so your messages do not get filtered.
Can an AI agent handle the replies?
Yes. AI agents work right inside the inbox over SMS and chat, drafting or sending replies in your voice and handing off to you in one tap.
