DoubleScale | All-In-One Business Growth Platform

DoubleScale is the operating system for a WordPress-native business. It replaces the stack most teams cobble together — CRM + Mailchimp + Calendly + ClickUp + a transactional email provider + a helpdesk + a reporting dashboard — with one plugin that lives inside wp-admin and stores everything in your own database.

You shouldn’t need eight separate logins, eight billing relationships, and eight half-broken integrations to run a small business. DoubleScale unifies them around a single contact record, so a form submit can fire an automation, book a meeting, open a support thread, score the lead, alert the assigned rep, and send the receipt — all from the same data model.

What’s inside one plugin

DoubleScale is a single install that gives you nine first-class modules, every one designed to feel like a dedicated product:

1. CRM — contacts, lists, segmentation, activity timeline A complete contact database. Unlimited records, unlimited custom fields. Tag-based and rule-based segmentation, bulk operations, and CSV / WordPress user / WooCommerce imports. Every contact has a full activity timeline that stitches together emails, SMS and WhatsApp messages, deal stage changes, bookings, support threads, page visits, form submissions, link clicks, and automation runs — one chronological view per contact, no tab-switching.

2. Deals & Pipelines — sales pipeline management Drag-and-drop kanban pipelines with multiple stages, weighted forecasting, win/loss reasons, and per-deal custom fields. Run separate pipelines for sales, partnerships, renewals, or onboarding. Every deal carries the full contact, activity, and email thread with it. Stage transitions can fire automations (move to “Closed Won” → send invoice + assign onboarding task + tag in CRM).

3. Campaigns — email, SMS, and WhatsApp broadcasts and sequences A drag-and-drop email builder with responsive blocks, reusable templates, A/B testing, and merge tags for any custom field. Broadcast to lists, tags, or rule-based segments. * Email sequences (drip campaigns) — multi-step nurture flows with time delays, conditional branches based on opens/clicks/replies, and goal-based exit conditions. * SMS campaigns — broadcast and triggered SMS via Twilio. Shares the same composer, audience, and merge-tag system as email. * WhatsApp campaigns — send Meta-approved WhatsApp templates and trigger conversations from the same builder. Inbound replies route to the unified inbox. * Per-link tracking with automation triggers, bounce handling with soft/hard classification, and full delivery logs.

4. Booking — self-service appointment scheduling A full scheduling system inside WordPress — no Calendly needed. Create single events for one-on-one meetings (consultations, demos, coaching sessions) or team events where multiple staff members share availability and bookings are assigned via round-robin or manual selection. Configure slot durations, buffer times between appointments, and per-day availability windows. Guests pick a time from an embeddable booking page, fill out a customizable intake form, and receive automated email/SMS confirmations and reminders. Supports Stripe payment collection for paid bookings, waiting lists when slots fill up, rescheduling and cancellation flows, and automatic time-zone detection. Every booking lands on the contact record and can trigger automations (e.g., tag the contact, create a deal, send a follow-up sequence).

5. Tasks — team task management Create, assign, schedule, and track tasks. Link them to contacts and deals. Due dates, reminders, status workflows. Stop running a separate ClickUp or Asana when 80% of your tasks are about customers anyway.

6. SMTP — multi-provider email routing A complete wp_mail() replacement built into the CRM — no separate SMTP plugin required. Connect one or more of 20+ providers: SendGrid, Amazon SES, Mailgun, Postmark, SparkPost, SMTP.com, SMTP2GO, Gmail (OAuth), Outlook (OAuth), Zoho (OAuth), MailerSend, Mailjet, Mandrill, Brevo (Sendinblue), Elastic Email, SendLayer, SocketLabs, Loops, and generic SMTP relay. Set up multiple connections with routing rules so transactional mail goes through one provider while marketing campaigns use another. OAuth authentication for Gmail, Outlook, and Zoho — no app passwords needed. Includes full email delivery logs, bounce handling with soft/hard classification, provider health checks, email test sending, and automatic failover when a provider is down.

7. Support — ticket-based helpdesk with mailbox channels and customer portal A complete helpdesk built into your CRM. Customers open tickets via a self-service portal or by emailing a connected mailbox; agents reply, assign, tag, and resolve — all without leaving WordPress. Features include: multiple mailbox channels (web and IMAP), configurable email notifications with threading and subject tagging, file attachments with signed secure downloads, ticket priority and status workflows, CC management, bulk actions (assign, close, merge, tag), per-ticket activity logging, custom fields, saved replies, and a built-in reports dashboard. IMAP polling brings inbound emails straight into the agent inbox. Every ticket links to the contact record and can trigger automations — auto-tag, route to an agent, create a deal, or start a follow-up sequence.

8. Analytics — dashboards & reports A built-in reporting layer covering revenue, pipeline forecasts, campaign performance (opens, clicks, conversions per send), contact growth, automation execution, and email deliverability. Visual charts, KPI cards, custom date ranges, CSV exports. The numbers your founder, marketer, and ops lead all need — without exporting to a BI tool.

9. Team management — roles, ownership, collaboration Multiple team members can work in DoubleScale at once. WordPress roles map to access patterns: sales reps see only deals they own, CRM managers see everything, support agents see the inbox. Activity is attributed by user. Notifications keep the team in sync.

Plus: a visual automation engine that connects all nine

Underneath every module is one workflow builder. 100+ triggers across contacts, deals, forms, booking, support, messaging, e-commerce, LMS, and membership plugins — flow into multi-step automations with conditional branches, time delays, goal conditions, and webhook calls. Actions include: send email, send SMS, send WhatsApp, start or pause an email sequence, tag, score, move a deal to a new stage, create a deal, assign a task, post to Slack, hit a webhook.

• Forms — Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Quill Forms (free); Elementor Forms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable, Forminator, MetForm, WS Form, Bit Form, SureForms, eForm, JetFormBuilder (Pro)

Privacy Policy

DoubleScale stores CRM, campaign, booking, task, support, and analytics data in your WordPress database. The plugin does not transmit that core repository to DoubleScale servers by default.

Where you enable optional third-party integrations (SMTP providers, Twilio, Stripe, WhatsApp, Slack, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, etc.), data flows are governed by those providers’ terms — and only carry the fields you explicitly map. You can disable any connector by removing credentials or turning off related automations.

Privacy-minded operators have access to: per-contact GDPR exports, hard-delete workflows, consent tracking per channel, retention rules for tracking data, and unsubscribe handling for every send.

External Services

DoubleScale connects to external services only when you configure those integrations. No data is transmitted without your API keys, OAuth grants, or explicit provider setup. Each provider listed below is independent of DoubleScale; using one means you also agree to that provider’s terms and privacy policy.

For every service below:

• Endpoint — API base URL used after you save credentials (not a public marketing or documentation page; it may not load in a browser).
• Terms / Privacy — Public legal pages for that provider. These are the URLs WordPress reviewers and site owners should open to read each service’s policies.
