PRO TIER · NEW CHANNEL

Let your customers
text you their questions.

Same Calgary-smart Dusty. Same dashboard. Different channel. Your guests text a number, Dusty answers in your voice — no app to download, no widget to find. The lead is captured by default.

The Rustic · (403) 555-1234
RUSTIC: how late are you open tonight?
Hi! We’re open until 11pm tonight, kitchen closes at 10:30. Walk-ins welcome, patio open if it’s above 12°. Anything else?
can I get a table for 6?
For tonight we’d recommend booking — text me back your time and we’ll hold it. Or call us at 403-555-1234.
8pm
Booked. Confirmation email will land in a minute. See you at 8 — ask for the patio if you want it.

Who this is for

HOTELS

Concierge card at check-in: "Text [code] anytime for restaurant recs, parking, late-night spots." Lower front-desk volume, every guest captured as a lead.

RESTAURANTS

Table tent: "Text us for menu, walk-in availability, parking." Higher conversion than QR codes — and you keep the phone number for re-marketing.

EVENT VENUES

Wristband, ticket, signage: "Text for stage times, lost & found, the closest open kitchen after the show." Calgary-aware around big nights.

BIAs

Inglewood, Kensington, 17th Ave: one number, all your businesses. Visitors text neighbourhood codes (try INGLEWOOD), get rotating recommendations.

SERVICE BUSINESSES

Yard sign or vehicle decal: "Text [code] for a quote." Lead capture, intake, and qualification — without the homeowner needing to call.

CIVIC / TOURISM

Stampede week, Folkfest, Open Streets — one number that knows the schedule, parking, the open after-hours room.

One brain. Two channels.

Whatever a visitor asks Dusty on your website, Dusty knows when they text. Whatever they text, Dusty knows next time they visit. Same knowledge base, same voice, same dashboard.

  • Website conversations and SMS threads count toward the same monthly quota.
  • Knowledge-base entries and voice examples apply to both channels automatically.
  • The "Suggested questions" panel on the website doubles as text-prompt ideas.
  • If a visitor switches mid-conversation from chat to text, the context follows the phone number.

CASL-compliant by design

We only send SMS when the visitor explicitly initiates — typing your code, tapping "text me," or replying to one of your messages. Every outbound text includes a STOP keyword. Once a number opts out, the entire Dusty network never sends to it again.

Note: Twilio requires A2P 10DLC brand registration for high-volume US numbers. Canadian deployments don’t — we ship as Canadian-first. Ask about US scaling separately.
