Cruz M.Professional Independent Marketer
As a marketing professional, I had trouble communicating with my contractors because we used Slack and Teams, but they weren't always online. I spent months looking for a tool to help me send text messages or WhatsApp messages to them so they could log in to Zoom and Google Meets. Plus, Clerk Chat also allows me text my clients that I have on HubSpot CRM.

FAQ
Have questions? We've got answers.
Find what you need quickly and clearly with our most frequently asked questions.
Absolutely. Text messages have a 98% open rate, and most are read within 3 minutes. Homeowners prefer texting because they can respond on their schedule - checking your estimate while at work, approving a start date during dinner, or requesting service after seeing storm damage. Our roofing clients see 5x higher response rates compared to voicemails.
Yes! You keep your current business number - the one already on your trucks, website, and business cards. Clerk Chat works with your existing phone system through our VoIP integrations. No need to update any marketing materials or confuse customers with new numbers.
Our AI Assistant responds instantly 24/7, even at 2 AM when storms hit. It qualifies leads, schedules estimates, answers pricing questions, and collects customer details. Everything syncs to your CRM, so you wake up to organized leads ready for follow-up. The AI knows roofing terminology and can discuss shingles, underlayment, flashing, and warranties intelligently.
Clerk Chat handles all compliance automatically. We manage 10DLC registration, opt-in/opt-out requirements, and maintain compliant message logs. Every conversation is archived and exportable. Customers explicitly consent to receive texts, protecting your business. We're fully compliant with TCPA regulations and carrier requirements.
Yes, your entire team can access Clerk Chat through our shared inbox. Office staff, sales reps, and project managers all see the same conversation history. Use round-robin assignment to distribute leads fairly, internal threads to discuss customer issues privately, and custom permissions to control access. Everything integrates with Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, or your existing workflow tools.
Clerk Chat is built specifically for service businesses. Unlike basic texting apps, we offer roofing-specific AI responses, automated storm damage campaigns, integrated payment collection, and visual estimate delivery with MMS.
