Product Update

Messaging. Built Into Every Booking.

Three updates. Built-in messaging on every booking. A clear status system for both sides. And gallery collections to organize your work your way.

Messaging for Bookings

Every booking inquiry now has a built-in chat.Attached to the booking. Right where it should be. No DMs. No Instagram threads. No “wait, which email was that?”

Artists message clients from the inquiry. Clients reply from the same place. One thread. All context. Nothing lost.

Every message triggers an email notification for both sides. You never have to be in the app to stay on top of it. And every message is stored with the booking, permanently.

No lock-in. Ever. All messages land in your email too. Your conversations, your data. We're a tool, not a middleman.

Booking Status

Artists can update the status of any booking at any point. Accepted. Need More Details. Completed. Rejected. One tap. The booking reflects it instantly.

Clients can cancel a booking if plans change. Clean. No friction. No awkward messages to explain it.

Every status change is logged in the chat as a timestamped event. Messages and status updates in one thread. The full picture of a booking, without hunting for it.

Gallery Collections

Your uploads now have structure. Collections let you group your work however makes sense to you. By style. By season. By theme. By whatever.

Each collection gets a cover and a description. “Summer 2026 Toronto Flash.” “Halloween Flash.” Name it, describe it, make it yours.

Public collections are your storefront. What clients see when they land on your profile. Private collections are your back room. Drafts, references, works in progress. For your eyes only.

You control what's visible. How it's grouped. How it's presented. Your gallery, your call.
