SMS Estimates & Tracking - Questions & Answers

Create the estimate, tap Send via Text, and the customer receives a branded mobile estimate link by SMS.

They receive a text message with a personalized greeting using their name and your business name, plus a link. When they tap the link, they see a branded client portal with your logo, the full estimate with line items and total, and buttons to accept or decline. It's designed for mobile - no pinching, zooming, or downloading PDFs (a PDF backup is there if they want one).

Yes. Customers can review the estimate and accept from the branded estimate page. If they are not ready, they can tap Not right now and pick a reason, such as price, timing, or a question, so you know what to do next.

Yes. FastEstimateMaker includes optional owner SMS alerts for key events. You can turn on texts when a client accepts your estimate, when an invoice gets paid, and when a new booking comes in. That way you know immediately even if you're away from your email or dashboard.

It shows first open, repeat views, last activity, device details, and view count for each estimate.

Every estimate you send includes a unique tracking link. When your client opens it, FastEstimateMaker logs the view in real time - device type, timestamp, and view count - and sends you an email notification instantly. No extra setup required. Tracking works the same for SMS and email delivery.

Several views usually means the customer is comparing, sharing, or close to deciding, which makes it a strong follow-up signal.

No. Tracking is built into the estimate viewing experience. When a client opens the branded estimate link, the view is logged automatically - there's no additional tracking pixel, no pop-up, and no visible indicator. It's seamless.

Yes. SMS estimate delivery and tracking are included during the free trial and paid plan.
