Customer communications

Customize customer emails

BakeryFlow sends your customers 7 emails. You can rewrite any of them so they sound like your bakery, and turn 3 of them off. Leave a field blank to keep the default. Customizations need BakeryFlow Pro.

The emails

  • Drop going live: to past customers when a drop opens for orders. Can be turned off.
  • Orders closing soon: to past customers about a day before ordering closes. Can be turned off.
  • Pickup reminder: the morning of pickup day, to customers with an order.
  • Review request: a few hours after pickup, if they haven't reviewed yet. Can be turned off.
  • Order confirmed: when someone orders and still needs to pay.
  • Order confirmed (cash): when someone orders and pays cash at pickup.
  • Order reserved: after you confirm payment. Cash orders don't get this one.
