Setting up automated follow-up reminders
Trigger follow-up tasks and messages automatically when a deal stalls, so leads never slip through the cracks.
Updated May 2026
Most lost deals are not lost on price, they are lost to silence. Automated follow-ups make sure every lead gets a timely touch, even when your team is slammed in the field.
Create a follow-up rule
- Go to Settings, Automations, Follow-ups.
- Click New rule and choose a trigger, such as Estimate sent and no response in 2 days.
- Pick the action, like create a task for the owner or send the customer a templated message.
- Set how many times to repeat and when to stop, for example after a reply or after three attempts.
Mix tasks and messages
The best cadence blends a personal touch with light automation, so the customer hears from a real person without your team tracking it all by hand.
- Use a task when you want a rep to call personally.
- Use an automated text or email for gentle check-ins between calls.
- Stagger steps over several days so you stay present without being pushy.
Track what is working
Each rule shows how many deals it touched and how many replied or advanced a stage. Lean into the cadences that move deals, and retire the ones that do not.
Combine follow-up automation with a clean pipeline so every reminder fires from an accurate stage and reaches the right lead at the right time.
