No AI decides what your customer receives

Your website form emails you. We tell the customer you got it.

Add one address to the notification your form already sends. That is the whole setup.

Chesapeake Heating & Air
  1. Enquiry arrives From the form already on your website. Nothing to rebuild.
  2. Customer hears back In seconds, under your business name, in wording you approved.
  3. You get the details Their name, email, phone, and exactly what they wrote.

An example enquiry. The email above is the real one, word for word from the code that sends it.

Website form enquiries only. Not your phones, not your CRM, not your customer conversations.

See both sides before you trust it

These are the emails the system sends. Word for word out of the running code, not a mockup.

What you get when it will not answer

From: The Inbox Desk
Subject: New inquiry needs your attention 
New inquiry for Chesapeake Heating & Air.

name: Ray Alvarez
email: ray@example.com
phone: (410) 555-0142

They wrote: There is a burning smell coming from the furnace when it kicks on.

We have NOT replied to them. This one sounds urgent or possibly unsafe, so it needs you to read it and respond personally, now.

No chatbot writes to your customer. The reply is fixed wording you approve.

Nothing goes live until a test passes on your own form.

Unsafe, unusual, unclear, or anything that is not a new job gets no automatic reply at all. It is held and sent to you, exactly as shown above.

Now send the real one to yourself

"I would like a quote for some work at my home. Please call me when you can."

Your email is used to send this one demonstration. It is not added to a list and you will not receive any follow-up.

This form runs the live pipeline. During a client setup the same workflow uses your business name and your approved wording.

How it works

One notification setting changes. Your workflow does not.

  1. You add our address to your form's notifications The same email you already receive also comes to us. No website changes, no new software, no CRM, no DNS change.
  2. You approve the wording, then we run a live test Nothing goes in front of a customer until that test passes on your own form, and nothing is charged before it does.
  3. Routine new-work enquiries get the acknowledgment Under your business name, in seconds. You get their name, email, phone when the form provides one, and exactly what they wrote. When they reply, it goes to your inbox.
  4. Everything else stops with you Safety concerns, complaints, existing jobs, cancellations, job applications, spam, attachments we cannot read, and anything we cannot make sense of. No automatic reply is sent, and on a possible hazard we do not even offer you a draft to click.

Removing our address from your form notifications disconnects the service immediately. There is nothing to uninstall.

Price, before a sales call

One offer, in two steps. There is no annual plan to toggle and no tier to compare, because there is only this.

Step one

$500 one-time pilot

Charged only after a live test passes on your own form.

  • Setup on one form-notification source
  • Your wording, approved by you before anything sends
  • A live test on your own form
  • 14-day refund window: if it cannot be kept working, you get the money back
  • Keeps running after day 14 whether or not you continue
See it answer first

Step two, optional

$250 per month, if you continue

A choice you make after you have watched it work, not on day one.

  • Ongoing monitoring of the pipeline
  • Wording changes whenever you want them
  • A report of what the system did with each enquiry
  • Arrival time, send time, and whether it was acknowledged or held
  • Cancel by removing one address from your form notifications
Ask me anything first

You pay only after a live test succeeds on your own form. The 14 days are the refund window, not an expiry date: nothing switches off on day 15, and the monthly fee is a choice you make after you have watched it work.

You will see when each enquiry arrived, when the acknowledgment was sent, and whether it was acknowledged or held for you. I do not report bookings or revenue, because the system cannot verify them.

The pilot is supervised. Replies pause if the processing computer is off or asleep. Under tested outage conditions the original notification stays available for retry, and an independent monitor alerts me if processing stops.

Already have ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or anything else replying to web enquiries? Keep it. The Inbox Desk is for the gap between the form you already have and an inbox nobody is watching.

Questions people actually ask

The five that come up on every call.

What you can check instead of a testimonial

The Inbox Desk is new. There are no customer quotes on this page because there are no customers to quote yet. When there are, they will appear here with a real name and a real business, or they will not appear at all.

The emails above are not mockups They are rendered from the same functions that send the real thing. A test compares them word for word and fails the build if the page and the code ever drift apart.
The demo runs the real pipeline Your demonstration is not a special path. It goes out as an email, comes back in the way a client's enquiry does, and is judged by the same code.
The operator answers the phone No sales team, no gatekeeper, no chat widget. The number on this page is the number of the person who sets up and monitors every pilot.
Ask for the thing a testimonial would have told you. Whether it is running today, what it did with the last enquiry, and who to call when it stops. All three are answerable on a phone call, and none of them need a stranger's quote to stand up.

Who runs it

Built and operated in Glen Burnie by Will Portillo. I set up and monitor every pilot myself. Call me directly on (667) 487-2266.

Enquiry details are stored for duplicate prevention and timing reports. Names, email addresses, phone numbers and message text are removed automatically 90 days after the enquiry, leaving a dated record with no personal detail in it. Nothing is sold or used for marketing. Ask me to remove a customer's details sooner and I will, and tell you when it is done. The one exception is an unsubscribe, which is kept permanently, because that is what makes it stick.

No AI in the pipeline

Held when unsure

Detail cleared at 90 days

No charge before your test

Remove address, it stops
