Using ClientHub Day-to-Day

Texting Customers

Open any customer's thread in ClientHub and type your message. They receive it as a regular SMS text. When they reply, it shows up in their thread instantly. You can also send images via MMS — photos, receipts, or documents — directly in the message thread. Use the AI Text Generator to draft professional messages — tap the AI icon in the text field to generate a reply or follow-up.

Calling Customers

Make and receive calls through your dedicated ClientHub number directly inside QuoteIQ. Calls go through your business number, not your personal number, so your personal phone number stays private. Voice calling only requires the specific voice calling permission or account owner status — your team members don't need full admin access to make and receive calls.

"On The Way" Notifications

Heading to a job? Send an automatic "On The Way" text to let the customer know you're coming. This is triggered from the calendar/job view — tap the notification icon and your customer gets an instant heads-up.

File Sharing

Send and receive photos, documents, and files directly through ClientHub message threads. Everything is stored under the customer's profile for easy reference later.
