Stop the Endless "Where Is My Order?" Messages
Every "any update?" message is a small interruption that adds up to hours. Bomble lets you message a client straight from their order — by email or WhatsApp, from ready-made templates — and notify them automatically when a stage is done.
Updated 19 June 2026
The short answer
A couture order takes weeks, and silence makes anxious clients chase you — which turns into a constant stream of "where is my order?" messages mid-work. Bomble cuts that off at the source: message any client directly from their order by email (via Resend) or a WhatsApp deep link, using templates for stage updates, fitting-ready, order-ready and payment reminders. And when a stage is configured to notify the client, Bomble tells them automatically the moment it completes — so updates go out before the client thinks to ask.
Silence is what makes clients chase you
A bride who has paid a deposit and heard nothing for two weeks is not being difficult when she messages to ask how things are going — she is anxious about the most important dress she will ever buy. But each of those messages lands while you are mid-seam, pulls you out of the work, and gets answered with a quick guess because checking properly would take too long.
Multiply that by every open order and the cost is real: hours of interruption, vague answers that erode trust, and the occasional message that slips through unanswered entirely. The problem is not the clients. It is that there is no easy, consistent way to keep them informed, so the only updates that happen are the ones they pull out of you.
- Constant "any update?" messages interrupt focused work.
- Answers get rushed and vague because checking properly takes too long.
- Some messages slip through unanswered, and trust quietly erodes.
- There is no consistent way to update clients, so updates only happen on demand.
Message from the order, in the channel they use
Bomble puts messaging on the order itself. From a client's order you can reach them by email — sent through Resend when configured — or by a WhatsApp deep link that opens a chat straight to their number, so you use whichever channel that client actually replies on.
You are not writing every message from scratch, either. Bomble ships templates for the moments that matter in an atelier: a stage update, fitting ready, order ready, and a payment reminder that includes the outstanding balance. The right message, with the right details from the order, is one click away instead of a blank box you have to fill in mid-rush.
- Email via Resend (when configured) and a WhatsApp deep link, both from the order.
- Templates for stage update, fitting ready and order ready.
- Payment-reminder template that includes the outstanding balance.
- Uses the client record (email, phone, WhatsApp) so you reach them where they reply.
Let the work send the update for you
The best update is the one you never had to remember to send. When you configure a production stage to notify the client on completion, Bomble automatically messages them the moment that stage is marked done — so a client hears "your gown has moved to finishing" without anyone stopping to type it.
That turns the relationship around. Instead of clients pulling status out of you, the atelier pushes progress to them as the work happens. Combined with the templates for fittings and the final ready message, the steady stream of reassurance that keeps a high-value client calm becomes part of the production flow rather than a separate chore.
- Per-stage setting to notify the client when that stage completes.
- Automatic client notification fires the moment the stage is marked done.
- Progress is pushed to clients as work happens, not pulled out of you.
- Fitting-ready and order-ready messages keep the key moments covered.

Frequently asked questions
- How does Bomble reduce "where is my order?" messages?
- It lets you update clients before they ask. You can message them from the order by email or WhatsApp using templates, and any stage set to notify-on-completion sends the client an update automatically the moment that stage is done.
- Can I message clients by both email and WhatsApp?
- Yes. From an order you can send email (via Resend when configured) or open a WhatsApp chat through a deep link to the client's number, so you use whichever channel that client replies on.
- What message templates are included?
- Templates for a stage update, fitting ready, order ready and a payment reminder. The payment reminder includes the outstanding balance pulled from the order.
- Can clients be updated automatically as the order progresses?
- Yes. When a production stage is configured to notify the client on completion, Bomble messages the client automatically the moment that stage is marked done — no manual step required.
- Do I need to set up email to use messaging?
- Email sends through Resend when it is configured. The WhatsApp deep link works independently by opening a chat to the client's stored number, so you can keep clients informed either way.
- Where does Bomble get the client's contact details?
- From the client record, which stores email, phone and WhatsApp number. Messaging uses those so each update reaches the client on the channel you choose.

When you have twenty gowns open at once, "where is that order?" should never need a phone call to the workroom. Bomble follows each order through your own stages and surfaces what is overdue, due soon, or in for a fitting today.
Client Measurements for Couture Ateliers
A client's body is the single most reused piece of data in your atelier — and the most likely to be lost in a notebook. Bomble holds 22 measurements per client, grouped by anatomy, ready to pull onto every order.
Deposit Tracking for Couture Ateliers
Couture runs on deposits — and deposits are exactly what a notebook loses track of. Bomble records what each client has paid against the price, keeps the outstanding balance live, and gives you a payment reminder with the figure built in.
