Customer Review
"The customer service is incredible. And the product itself is just as good."
- Eddie, A.
Product
We love Flocknote and they've built a great product, but there are a few things that set Clearstream apart. We're meticulous about providing a platform that is fast, easy to use, and beautiful to look at. We also have features unique to us - subaccounts, video, menus, and notes - and we're constantly developing more.
Integrations
We have two-way integrations with Planning Center, Rock RMS, and CCB/Pushpay. Not only can you sync existing lists into Clearstream, but you can also push info collected via text into your ChMS and create a new person profile and optionally add people to a Workflow, Group, or Process Queue. There are no issues with duplicate profiles or slow data syncing.
And with our add-on in Planning Center, you can text using Clearstream without leaving Planning Center!
Automated Workflows
Mass texting is only the beginning of what you can do with Clearstream. Schedule or delay texts for later, auto-reply with different information based on someone's menu choice, send different texts based on how many times a keyword is used, route people to different accounts or workflows, and more.
A2P Registration
We register all texting numbers with the highest vetting possible, giving you faster message throughput and less carrier filtering. You get to choose your own 10-digit local number, and you get more than one number with most plans.
If you're interested in a five-digit short code, Clearstream is a Premier Partner with the Short Code Registry. We're the most affordable option for leasing five-digit numbers.
Try Clearstream for yourself.
We offer a 30-day free trial, but if you need more time, chat with our support team. We're happy to extend your trial period.
