A customer who clicked a paid ad ends up booked in, texted a confirmation, and logged against the campaign that brought them through the door, so whoever runs the ads next month can see which one actually paid for itself rather than guessing from a gut feel. Porchlight tracks the booking side of that picture, and Mobile Message, connected through Zapier, can handle the texts that go with it without anyone stitching the two together by hand.

When a customer texts your business, Porchlight can create a new booked record so the enquiry is tied to ad performance data rather than lost in a phone. Once a text has gone out and been delivered, Porchlight can update that same booking record so the CRM data stays current for ad conversion and monthly revenue reporting, and a booking that no longer goes ahead can be marked as cancelled in the same system.

None of this asks anyone to enter the same detail twice. The person who clicked an ad, texted in, and got a reply ends up as one clean line in the reporting, not three separate notes that someone has to reconcile by hand at the end of the month before the numbers make sense.
