Our partners at Cutr are bringing to life the designs of our customers. To do this effectively, sometimes it makes sense to communicate directly with the customer, and other times it's easier to leverage Cutr’s expertise to support an efficient workflow. This guide will walk you through the steps and best practices for communication on the Cutr platform.
Communication Guidelines
You should reach out to Cutr during production for all questions relating to:
Payment
Delivery timelines and adjustments
Offer/quotation adjustments
Scope changes that require clarification
Order clarification
In some instances, your questions are more directly related to the physical delivery of the product or design intent. In those instances, you may reach out to the customer.
Note that any file approvals are better tracked through the “files” section of the platform. See the article here. You cannot currently upload any technical files using the chat functionality with customers.
Initiating Communication
For some orders, it is possible to talk directly with the customer. You will be able to see for which order this is available on the platform. If direct messaging is available, you can read below how to start a conversation with the customer.
Post Offer Acceptance:
Navigating to Conversations:
Log in to your Cutr account.
Access the specific order by clicking on it.
Accessing Conversations:

Click on it to open the Messages section related to the accepted order.
Creating a Message:
Click on the conversation on the left to be able to compose a message to the customer.
Craft your message, providing necessary information or seeking clarifications.
Utilize formatted text (headers, body text, bold/italic/underscore, and bullets) when composing messages.
Attach photos to convey visual information; however, refrain from sending CAD files or technical drawings.
