The Problem
Shopify Flow, Mechanic, Order Automator, Arigato Automation, MESA, and Bloomreach Engagement can trigger emails and webhooks — but cannot place AI voice calls or have two-way SMS conversations.
Shopify Flow fires an abandoned-cart trigger — Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, Mailchimp, Yotpo SMS, and Omnisend send the email/SMS — but when the shopper replies "is this in stock in size M?" nobody answers.
Shopify Flow uses if/then logic. Real shopper conversations are dynamic. The AI needs to handle "I want it but in red" or "can you ship by Friday?" — not just fire-and-forget.
Shopify Flow runs Shopify automation. WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Square POS, and Clover need their own. Result: 5 parallel automation stacks, none of which talk to each other.
How Frontdesk Works
Built for retail brands and merchants on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Square, Clover — and every other major commerce platform.

“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”

Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
