SpaceCRM's Omnichannel Advantage

01

WhatsApp Outreach

Reach prospects where they actually respond. SpaceCRM's WhatsApp channel delivers reply rates up to 3x higher than cold email alone.

02

Unified Inbox

Every email reply, LinkedIn message, and WhatsApp response lands in one inbox. Stop context-switching between tabs to manage conversations.

03

Transactional Email API

Send product notifications, password resets, and receipts through the same platform you use for outbound — one API, one bill, one deliverability reputation.

04

AI Content Generation

Generate personalised email subjects, LinkedIn messages, and WhatsApp openers in seconds. SpaceCRM's AI is trained on outbound copy, not generic text.

Customer Story

“We were paying $39/mo for Lemlist but still had to manage LinkedIn and WhatsApp manually in separate tabs. SpaceCRM brought everything into one sequence and one inbox. Our team reply rate jumped 40% in the first month.”

Daniel Kowalski

Head of Sales, Scalepath

Switching from Lemlist to SpaceCRM

Why Teams Switch

  • No native WhatsApp channel — required third-party tools for WhatsApp outreach
  • No unified inbox — each channel lives in a separate view, causing context-switching
  • Starts at $39/mo with no free tier to test before committing
  • No transactional email API for product-triggered messages

What Transfers

  • Contacts and lists via CSV import
  • Email templates via copy/paste
  • Campaign sequences can be rebuilt in under 30 minutes

What Needs Reconfiguration

  • Sequence logic may need adjustment for 3-channel workflows

Migration Support

From a Switcher
