Activating Auto Follow-Up Emails

How to send automatic reminders for customers to accept a proposal

Written by Carmela Fermin

We all have busy lives, so it's easy to forget to check in on a customer or for your customers to accept that so-needed quote.
Auto follow-ups allow you to schedule up to 3 resends of presented proposals to tactfully remind your customers about a great quote you've prepared for them.
​

How does it work?

 [admins only]

  1. From the Office, navigate to the "Email Delivery" menu and select the "Auto Follow-Ups". 

  2. You'll be presented with a switch labeled "Activate" to turn the feature on, as well as 3 fields to set how many days you'd like the system to wait before re-sending the email.

  3. If you want to skip a follow-up, just set that field to zero.


​NOTE: The system sends follow-up emails between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM Eastern. It will find all the presented emails, regardless of whether they have been emailed to the customer or not, and dispatch reminders. Please be aware of this when using the feature.
​

What Does the Follow Up Email template look like?

The follow-up email template used is the Interactive Proposal Email, which is the same template sent when you first contact your customer. The only difference for follow-ups is that we add the word “Reminder” at the beginning of the subject line


​How do I stop Sending the Reminders?

To stop resending a specific quote, Mark it Lost and explain the reasons.

Keep in mind that putting the proposal back to draft mode or archiving also prevents the emails from sending.
