Have you ever used mail merge to send out lots of personalized emails at once? Now you can send bulk messages with Flow from the PDCflow app instead. Send out thousands of secure communications and payment requests at one time.
Do you have a list of customers who all need your company’s updated terms?
Or does your company policy for 2024 need to be sent out to all your organization’s employees?
Perhaps you’re getting ready to send out an annual report to all stakeholders.
No need to send generic email or text messages one-by-one! Upload a spreadsheet to send up to 5,000 personalized, secure bulk message Flows at one time.
Along with PDCflow’s payment software, we offer a unique request engine called Flow Technology. Each outbound request sent through Flow Technology is called a Flow.
Mix and match sending documents, requesting payments, capturing esignatures, and requesting customer photo uploads in a single Flow. Send these requests to your customer via email/SMS or through your company’s web chat or chatbot system.
Why Use Flow Bulk Messaging?
Your company can now streamline communication by sending personalized payment reminders via email and SMS, all within a single workflow. Simply upload a spreadsheet containing recipient information to get started.
Send payment requests or other important bulk messages to hundreds or thousands of customers at once.

- Deliver Flow request to all recipients via texts and/or emails
After sending a Flow bulk message, employees set up for notifications will receive an email notification of the results.
Monitoring and Reporting
Bulk Message Flow Integration Through API
For even more options – like delivering documents and requesting esignatures along with bulk message payment requests – developers can integrate PDCflow’s APIs to embed bulk message Flows and other PDCflow services into your system of record.
These actions make it faster and easier to get paid, send important notices, facilitate onboarding, or initiate other payment workflows.
Through PDCflow’s low-code and drop-in API options, companies access extra functionality that lets companies send:
- Annual disclosures to customers and stakeholders. Good for sending company policies, disclosures or annual reports that need to be distributed to everyone you serve.
- Company-wide notifications. Companies can send annual compensation plans, company policy documents or other items, company-wide.
- Debt collection validation notices. With Flow bulk messaging, debt collection agencies can send thousands of Validation Notices via email with a single uploaded file.
- Handshake letters to new consumers. Debt collection agencies may need to send a letter to new consumers after they take over collecting a debt. Send these letters all at once through Bulk Flow.

Flow Technology for Payment Collection
Flow + Payments
A continual struggle in AR is turning the promise of a payment into a guaranteed payment.
Flow Technology lets staff send a payment request through email or text. This way, staff can stay on the phone to ensure the payment goes through.

Staff can send payment terms and a payment request during negotiations. The consumer keys in cardholder details, which are captured and stored outside your company’s systems. This reduces PCI compliance scope and keeps payments secure.
Flow for Simplified Workflows
End the need for follow-up on accounts.
Get contracts signed and capture payments in one digital workflow. Combine two processes into one simple workflow for staff and customers. Simplify back-end operations with one vendor for documents, esignatures, and payments.
