What Is Pulse? The AI SMS & Email Marketing Platform Built for Real Conversations

If you’ve ever tried to bolt together “yet another” SMS tool, an email platform, a chatbot widget and a bunch of zaps, you already know how messy modern marketing can get.

Pulse is our answer to that.

Pulse is an AI-powered SMS and email marketing platform that helps you launch campaigns, run 2-way conversations, and build automated nurturing journeys in one place. Instead of juggling five tools, you get one clean workspace for SMS, Email, and soon WhatsApp and more – all designed to qualify and nurture leads automatically.

Our vision: your omnichannel qualification and nurturing system #

At its core, Pulse is built around a simple idea:

Help businesses make more money by turning every message into a meaningful, 2-way conversation.

We’re building Pulse to become your omnichannel qualification and nurturing engine across:

• SMS
• Email
• WhatsApp (and other messaging channels as they’re added)
• Website forms, funnels and future touchpoints

Today, you can:

• Import leads and customers from your existing tools
• Launch SMS and email campaigns in minutes
• Build visual automations that react to replies, clicks, tags and ecommerce events
• Let AI help you write, personalize and optimize your messages

Tomorrow, our roadmap goes beyond “send a message and hope”:

• Deeper cross-channel journeys (e.g. SMS → Email → WhatsApp, depending on how a lead responds)
• Smarter AI agents that can qualify leads, handle FAQs, and book calls across channels
• More native integrations with the tools you already use (CRMs, storefronts, calendars, etc.)

What makes Pulse different? #

There are a lot of email and SMS tools. Here’s what we intentionally do differently.

1. Built for 2-way communication, not just blasts #

Most tools are optimized for one thing: pushing out campaigns.

Pulse is built around conversations:

• A unified inbox for SMS and email so you see full context for every contact
• Triggers like “any reply received” that let you branch automations based on what people actually say
• Flows that nurture, qualify, ask questions and route hot leads to humans

Our philosophy is simple: campaigns create attention; conversations create revenue.

2. Better UX: one clean workspace instead of five tabs #

We obsess over making Pulse feel calm, even when your marketing is complex:

• One dashboard to see all campaigns, their status and key results
• A visual flow builder where SMS and email steps live side by side
• AI CoPilot directly inside your composer, so you’re never staring at a blank screen

If you can drag, drop and type, you can run sophisticated automations in Pulse.

3. Better pricing and real support #

We built Pulse because we were tired of:

• Prices creeping up every year
• Paying extra for basic features
• Support that disappears once you’ve paid

Pulse is priced to be sustainable, not predatory, and our support is human, fast and practical. You can start free, test with real traffic, and only upgrade when it’s actually making you money.

4. A roadmap that’s bigger than “newsletter + blast” #

Lots of platforms are stuck in 2015: one-way emails, one-way SMS.

Pulse is built for:

• 2-way messaging across channels
• AI-assisted conversations that understand intent
• Deep ecommerce and sales workflows (abandoned carts, win-back, reactivation, etc.)

The short version: we’re building beyond “campaign tool” into a real conversation engine.

Concrete use cases: how teams actually use Pulse #

Here are some of the ways customers use Pulse day-to-day.

Ecommerce and DTC brands #

• Welcome flows that combine email and SMS to turn first-time visitors into first-time buyers
• Abandoned cart sequences that nudge people back with personal reminders instead of generic “you forgot something” messages
• New collection and product launch alerts for VIP segments via SMS
• Back-in-stock notifications to customers who asked for them
• Post-purchase flows that request reviews and offer tailored recommendations

Agencies and service providers #

• Multi-client workspaces where each client has separate campaigns, numbers and reporting
• Launching templated “quick win” flows (lead follow-up, review requests, appointment reminders) across several clients
• Using AI to generate client-specific copy from a single brief, then fine-tuning tone per brand
• Reporting dashboards that show exactly how many leads, bookings and sales came from SMS and email

B2B sales and SaaS #

• Speed-to-lead automations that send a text within a minute of a form submission
• Demo reminders with 2-way confirmation (“Reply 1 to confirm, 2 to reschedule”)
• Lead nurturing drips that mix email and SMS, based on the lead’s behavior
• Re-activation campaigns to old leads with new angles, offers and time-bound invites

Local businesses (gyms, salons, clinics, restaurants) #

• Appointment reminders and rescheduling links
• No-show reactivation messages
• Local offers for specific customer segments (e.g. “members near Copenhagen who used us in the last 90 days”)
• Birthday and anniversary campaigns that feel personal, not automated

Fictional case study: how “Nonsense” scaled their clothing shop in Denmark with Pulse #

To make this more tangible, here’s a fictional but realistic example of how a Danish clothing brand could use Pulse.

Meet Nonsense, a Copenhagen-based clothing shop that sells both online and in-store. Before Pulse, Nonsense was:

• Sending a monthly newsletter from a generic email tool
• Posting on Instagram and hoping people saw it
• Leaving abandoned carts and warm leads completely untouched
• Worried that SMS would feel spammy or too aggressive for their brand

They decided to test Pulse with three simple goals:

1. Recover more abandoned carts
2. Launch new drops more effectively
3. Turn first-time buyers into repeating customers

Step 1: getting their SMS number and compliance in place #

Nonsense didn’t have a dedicated SMS setup at all.

Through Pulse, they:

• Got help registering an appropriate SMS number for Denmark
• Set up compliant opt-in language on their checkout, newsletter forms and popups
• Enabled automatic unsubscribe (STOP handling) and quiet hours to avoid annoying customers

They didn’t have to touch A2P rules or carrier forms themselves – our team handled the heavy parts.

Step 2: building their first flows in Pulse #

Together, we set up three key automations.

1. Abandoned cart flow (SMS + email)
   • Email at 1 hour: a gentle “Did you mean to leave these behind?” reminder with cart contents.
   • SMS at 23 hours: a personal note from “Mia at Nonsense” with a short URL back to the cart and a soft-ending reminder: “Reply STOP to opt out.”
   • Optional follow-up email at 3 days: styling tips featuring items from the cart.
2. New collection launch for VIPs
   • SMS to their top 20% customers: early-bird access to the new drop with a limited-time code.
   • Follow-up email the next morning with lookbook-style images and outfit ideas.
3. Post-purchase and review requests
   • Email with order confirmation and shipping details.
   • SMS when the order ships: “Your Nonsense order is on the way.”
   • Email 10 days after delivery: “How did it fit?” with a review link and styling tips.

All of this was built in Pulse’s visual flow builder. They used variables like first name, last item viewed, and city to make messages feel genuinely personal.

Step 3: using AI to stay on-brand #

Like most small teams, Nonsense didn’t have time to write endless variations of copy.

With Pulse AI, they:

• Pasted their brand tone-of-voice guidelines once, then let AI draft text ideas for campaigns
• Used AI to shorten, rephrase and localize copy for different segments (e.g. Danish vs. English-speaking customers)
• Quickly generated A/B test variants for their most important SMS and email messages

They always remained in control, editing the AI suggestions to match Nonsense’s playful, minimalist tone, but AI did 80% of the heavy lifting.

The (fictional) impact #

Within the first months of using Pulse, Nonsense could realistically see numbers like:

• A noticeable lift in abandoned-cart recovery compared to email-only (for example, recovering an extra 8–12 orders per 100 abandoned carts once SMS was added)
• Strong engagement from VIPs, with new drop SMS messages driving a significant chunk of launch-day revenue
• Higher repeat purchase rate from customers who received follow-up tips and styling suggestions

Again, this is a fictional example to show what’s possible, not a promise or actual client story. But it illustrates how a Danish clothing shop can realistically use Pulse to combine SMS and email in a way that feels personal, respectful and very profitable.

How we want to be better (and what we do about it) #

1. Helping you get your number without headaches #

One of the biggest bottlenecks in SMS is just getting a compliant number set up.

With Pulse:

• We help you connect to trusted providers like Twilio or SignalWire for SMS sending
• We guide you through (or handle) the approval and registration process
• We set up quiet hours, sending limits and opt-out handling so you don’t accidentally break rules

You shouldn’t have to become a telecom expert to send a simple campaign. Pulse takes that off your plate.

2. Keeping you compliant by default #

Compliance isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s the foundation of sustainable SMS and email.

Pulse is designed to help you:

• Respect consent and proper opt-in
• Include clear opt-out instructions automatically
• Control send times and frequency
• Keep a clean audit trail of contacts, lists and campaigns

You’re in control, but the platform nudges you toward best practices instead of leaving you to figure it out alone.

3. Staying ahead with AI that works for you #

AI is built into how Pulse works.

Right now you can:

• Use AI to draft SMS and email campaigns from a short brief
• Rephrase, shorten or “humanize” copy with a click
• Generate variant ideas for A/B tests
• Combine AI with variables like name, last product viewed, last purchase date and more for hyper-personalization

We already support AI-driven automations and agents inside your flows, and we’re pushing further into AI that can triage replies, identify hot leads and recommend next steps in real time.

Pulse is still new – and that’s a feature, not a bug #

We’re not a giant, slow-moving marketing cloud.

Pulse is still a relatively new platform, and that means:

• We actually read and respond to customer feedback
• Most reasonable feature requests make their way onto the roadmap
• You can influence what the product becomes, instead of just adapting to it

If there’s a workflow you’re missing or a channel you want us to integrate, we want to hear it – and we’re fast at turning good ideas into shipping features.
