Every Client Conversation. One Inbox.
Instagram DMs, WhatsApp messages, SMS texts, emails, phone calls. Your clients reach out everywhere. Cora brings every conversation into one unified, AI-powered inbox so nothing falls through the cracks.
The Hidden Cost of Scattered Conversations
The average salon receives inquiries across 4-5 different channels. A client DMs on Instagram asking about pricing, another texts about availability, someone calls during a busy appointment, and an email sits unread for hours. Each missed or delayed response is a lost booking.
