Why it helps
Your evenings back
Stop writing the same email twice.
Never forgotten
Every family gets every email, once, at the right time.
Still in your voice
They use your templates, and nothing sends until you turn it on.
Your client email checklist
Every family gets every email.
bookbirdy follows each session through your steps: thank you for booking, the session guide, a check-in before the shoot, gallery delivered and a review request. Each one has a template. Send it with one tap, or let it send itself.
- Templates with the family's name, date and links filled in
- A list of what's due today
- Gallery emails wait for the gallery link
Reminders and invoices
Fewer no-shows. Fewer awkward money emails.
A reminder a couple of days before each session with the time, place and their family page. A balance invoice before the session with a payment link, and one friendly nudge if it's still open.
- Reminder timing you choose
- Balance invoices and one nudge
- Payment plan links on their due dates

Thoughtful by default
Never a backlog
Turning an email on never sends old ones. It starts with sessions from that day forward.
How did it go?
After the gallery, families answer one simple question. Everyone sees your review link, and anyone who'd like to talk can send you a private note.
Daytime only
Emails go out between 8 AM and 8 PM, never in the middle of the night.
Sent once
Each email goes to each family once. Every send is noted on the session.
From your Gmail
Connect Gmail and emails come from your own address, so replies land in your inbox.
Questions
Questions
Will it send emails I didn't write?
No. Automatic emails use your templates. Starter templates are there to edit, and nothing sends until you turn it on.
Can I still send emails by hand?
Yes. Any step can be sent with one tap from the session, with a chance to edit it first.
Do you send marketing emails to my clients?
Never on our own. Newsletters and rebooking emails only go out when you send them.
