Signal Integration | Sacred Tier

Signal for Business
doesn't exist.
We built it.

Automated messaging, order processing, AI-powered workflows, and membership management — all running through Signal's end-to-end encryption. No compromises. Self-hosted on your servers.

The Problem

Signal is the gold standard for privacy.
It was never designed for organizations.

No Business API

Signal has no official automation, no bot framework, no webhook support. Managing conversations manually breaks down past 50 members. Every message is a manual task.

Alternatives Compromise Encryption

WhatsApp Business shares metadata with Meta. Telegram stores messages server-side. Intercom sees everything. Choosing automation has always meant sacrificing privacy.

Custom Builds Cost $50K+

signal-cli integration, workflow orchestration, edge-case handling, retry logic, database design. A custom solution takes 6-12 months and a dedicated engineering team.

How It Works

From message to action in under 3 seconds

Step 1

Member Messages

A member sends a message to your organization's Signal number. Standard E2E encryption. No app install beyond Signal itself.

Step 2

AI Routes Intent

An AI router classifies the message — order, question, support request, admin command — and dispatches to the correct workflow.

Step 3

Workflows Execute

Dedicated sub-workflows handle the task: check inventory, process payment, create shipping label, update database — all automated.

Step 4

Instant Response

The member receives a formatted response back through Signal. Confirmation, tracking number, menu, balance — whatever was requested.

Capabilities

Everything a business messenger should do

Built from real production requirements. Every feature exists because an organization needed it.

Automated Order Processing

Members browse menus, add to cart, and check out entirely through Signal messages. Inventory checks, payment processing, and confirmation — all automated.

Credit Economy

Built-in loyalty credits earned on purchases and redeemable for future orders. Balance checks, transaction history, and referral bonuses via simple text commands.

Membership Verification

Automatic member lookup by phone number. Tiered access controls, join requests with admin approval, and pseudonymized identifiers instead of real names.

AI-Powered Support

Claude-backed AI with 177 indexed documentation chunks. Answers member questions, provides guidance, and escalates to humans when needed. Learns your organization's context.

Shipping & Tracking

Automatic label generation, carrier selection, and tracking notifications. Members text "TRACK" and get real-time status updates pushed back through Signal.

Admin Commands

Manage your entire operation from Signal. Approve members, adjust credits, check inventory, update order status, and pull reports — no dashboard required.

Privacy Architecture

Not all encryption is created equal

We categorize every channel by what it actually protects. Your members choose their tier based on their own threat model.
