Common questions

How do I remind customers about unconfirmed cash-on-delivery orders?

Set up an automatic reminder that goes out once an order passes a certain age. In Pludor, open Outreach & CRM > Nudges, set 'Older than (hours)', pick a reminder template, and queue the nudges. Replies come back to your Inbox, where you can answer them.

What is a COD nudge and how does it work?

A COD nudge is an automatic follow-up message sent to customers whose cash-on-delivery order has been sitting unconfirmed too long. Pludor's Nudges feature lists every stale COD order older than the number of hours you set and sends a reminder from a template you choose. You queue them in one click and handle replies in the Inbox.

How do I follow up with leads who haven't replied without being annoying?

Wait until the lead is genuinely stale, then send one polite, short reminder rather than repeated messages. Pludor's Nudges lets you set an 'older than' age in hours so you only follow up leads that have gone quiet, and you can use a saved template so the tone stays consistent. If they still don't reply, move on rather than nudging again.

How much does an automated COD reminder tool cost?

It depends on the platform, but many CRM tools charge per seat or per contact. On Pludor, Nudges is on for every store including the Free plan ($0, no item limit); each month a free amount of everything is included and past that you pay only for what you use in credits (1 credit = 1 cent). New stores also get 500 free credits.

How do I write a good payment-on-delivery reminder message?

Keep it short and polite: confirm the order, remind them payment is due on delivery, and ask them to confirm or reply with questions. You can draft one for free with Pludor's Customer Follow-up Message Writer (8 runs an hour, no account needed). Once written, save it as a template so you can reuse it for every nudge.

What's the best way to manage follow-ups across WhatsApp, SMS and email in one place?

Connect all your channels to a single inbox so conversations don't get scattered. In Pludor, open Channels in the Operations menu to connect WhatsApp, SMS or email, then work everything from the Inbox, which shows every conversation newest first. Save common replies as Templates and track each lead in the Leads pipeline from new to won.

Can I automatically send a reminder when an order or lead goes stale?

Yes, with automation rules. In Pludor, open Automation Rules in the Management menu, pick a trigger like new order, new lead, missed call or delivered order, then choose an action such as send a template, add a tag, or create a nudge. Test it with a sample order and check Failed in Outreach for anything that didn't deliver.

Is Pludor Nudges safe to use for my customers' order data?

Yes, Nudges just reads your own order and lead lists and sends reminders through channels you've connected yourself, such as WhatsApp, SMS or email. You control the template and the age filter, so nothing goes out that you haven't set up. Seller verification is included on Pludor stores as well.

How is Pludor's follow-up tool different from HubSpot or GoHighLevel?

The main difference is that Pludor's store and inbox are one system, so conversations, leads, orders and campaigns share a single customer record. COD reminders and post-delivery follow-ups that usually need custom workflows elsewhere are ready-made nudges here, and it's included in store plans rather than per-seat or per-contact tiers.

Do I need a paid plan to send COD reminders?

No. Nudges is on for every Pludor store, including the Free plan at $0 with no item limit. Each month a free amount of everything is included, and past that you only pay for what you use in credits. You just need a Pludor store, which is free to create at pludor.com/setup.
