DM intake
← All featuresTurn a wall of DMs into requests you can book.
Most tattoo inquiries arrive as a mess of half-finished messages. Patron pulls out what matters: placement, size, style, budget, and the reference images. What lands on your board is a clean request, not a scroll back through a week of chat.
The details you always ask for, laid out as fields
Placement, rough size, the idea, the budget, and any references come through as fields instead of buried in paragraphs. When a message is missing something, the gap is obvious rather than hidden.
You approve before anything moves
Patron sorts and lays out. It does not book on your behalf. Every request lands in an approve-first pipeline, and nothing goes forward until you say so. The decision stays yours.
From inquiry to a spot on the board
Approve a request and it becomes a real booking in your pipeline, with the deposit step and the client's details already attached. The path from first message to a held appointment is short, and you can see every request's stage at a glance.
It never invents a detail
A field is filled in only when the client actually said it. Anything they did not mention stays blank instead of being guessed at, so you are never handed a confident wrong answer about someone's tattoo. The client's own words sit right there next to the fields.
Straight answers
Common questions.
Does Patron reply to my clients automatically?
No. Patron sorts and lays out requests, but it does not send messages or book on your behalf. Every request waits for your approval, so you stay in control of what your clients hear from you.
What does it pull out of an inquiry?
The details you would ask for anyway: placement, size, the idea, budget, and any reference images. They come through as structured fields so you can read a request in seconds.
What happens if a message is vague or incomplete?
Whatever the client did not state is left blank rather than filled in with a guess. Missing information shows as a gap, and their original message is always kept next to the fields so you can read it yourself.
Do I need to change how I take inquiries?
No. However a request reaches you, Patron turns it into a clean, approve-first booking request. You work from organized details instead of a scroll back through chat.
