The business problem

Leads arrive from many places and often sit in inboxes or spreadsheets before anyone replies. Slow or forgotten follow-up means prospects move on to a competitor who answered first. Manual exporting and one-off emails also leave the CRM incomplete.

The manual process today

Where the time goes before automation:

  1. Export form entries and ad leads into a spreadsheet
  2. Copy contact details into the CRM by hand
  3. Write individual thank-you emails or WhatsApp messages
  4. Remember which leads still need a second or third follow-up

How the automation runs

Each step below runs on its own; a person steps in only where the workflow says so.

FAQ

Questions about this automation

Can the first reply go out on WhatsApp instead of email?

Yes. If the lead gives a mobile number and consents to contact, the reply can be sent through the WhatsApp Business API using an approved message template.

Will the messages sound automated?

Templates are written in your brand voice and personalised with the lead's name, interest and source. AI can adapt the wording, and a person can review templates before they go live.
