Customer Messaging
Chat With Every Family, Right in the App

A built-in inbox between you and your customers — direct messages, puppy links, and automatic updates when offers go out or a matching puppy is posted, with notifications on both sides.

Why breeders use it

What Customer Messaging Does for Your Program

You and your buyers can message each other inside the app instead of losing conversations across texts, emails, and DMs — and important updates drop into the thread automatically.

One Thread Per Family

Every conversation lives in one place with full history — no more scrolling through texts to find what you promised.

The Timeline Writes Itself

When you send an offer or a matching puppy goes live, the update posts into the conversation automatically, so the thread reads as the whole story.

How It Works
01
Open Messages

Pick a customer from your dashboard inbox — or reply to the notification when they message you first.

02
Chat and Link Puppies

Write your message and optionally attach a puppy — it shows up as a card the family can tap.

03
Watch Updates Flow in

Offers and new-puppy matches post into the thread automatically, keeping both sides on the same page.

Nobody Misses a Message

You get a bell and an email when a family writes; they get a branded email from your kennel when you reply.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do Customers Need an Account to Message Me?

Yes — messaging lives in their private account on your site, which they get when applying or signing up. Leads without accounts still reach you through your contact and application forms.

Will Customers See the Whelpify Name?

No. Message notification emails are white-labeled with your kennel name, logo, and colors, and replies land back in your inbox.
