Automated lead follow up is a set of steps that answers a new inquiry as soon as it arrives, reminds the lead if nobody replies, and stops when the person does. We build it on the tools you already use. A person approves what matters, and you get a short summary of what came in.
How it works
For example, a form or an email inquiry could move through these steps.
| When this happens | The automation does this | A person does this |
|---|---|---|
| A form or an email inquiry arrives | Reads it, sorts it by what it asks for, and sends a first reply | You approve the reply first, or let a clear request go out alone |
| The lead has not answered after a gap you set | Sends a reminder, up to the number you choose | You set the gap and the number of reminders |
| The lead replies | Stops the reminders and passes the thread to you with a summary | You take the conversation from there |
| A request needs judgment | Holds it and sends you a summary with a suggested reply | You decide and reply |

Where a person stays in charge
You choose, step by step, what runs alone and what comes to you first. We recommend that a person approves any reply that touches money, a legal obligation, or another person. Anything about price or a complaint comes to you first. Routine replies can go out on their own if you choose. Read more in is AI automation safe for your business.
Where it falls short
Limits for this one:
- A fast reply helps only if the next step is ready. If nobody can take the conversation, the automation has nothing to pass it to.
- It cannot judge a hard case. Anything unusual comes to you.
- Reminders can annoy. We set a limit on how many go out, and they stop the moment the person replies.
- We do not guarantee a lead figure or any other result.
What we need from you
We need a description of how a new inquiry reaches you today, access to the tools involved, such as your website form, your inbox, or your calendar, and someone on your side who approves what the automation sends.

Questions
How do I follow up with leads automatically?
Set a first reply that goes out when an inquiry arrives, then a reminder after a gap you choose, and stop the reminders when the lead answers. We build that on your own tools, such as your website form and your inbox. A person handles the conversation from there.
How quickly should I respond to a new lead?
The first reply is the one to automate. A person should handle the conversation after that. We do not quote a target time, because the right pace depends on your business.
