Automated follow-ups re-engage prospects who have not responded to your initial message. Configure up to 3 follow-up steps per prompt with customizable delays and AI-powered personalization.

How Follow-ups Work

After your agent sends an initial message, if the prospect does not reply within the specified delay, the AI automatically sends a follow-up. Each follow-up uses your prompt instructions combined with the full conversation context to create a natural, personalized message. Key behaviors:
  • Follow-ups are automatically cancelled when a prospect replies.
  • Each follow-up has its own configurable delay (1 to 30 days).
  • Maximum 3 follow-ups per prompt to maintain a balanced outreach strategy.
  • Follow-ups support the same ## system as your main prompt.

Configuring Follow-ups

  1. Open a prompt and click the Follow-up tab.
  2. Click Add Step.
  3. Choose a pre-built template or write a custom follow-up prompt.
  4. Set the delay: “Send if no reply after X days” (1-30 days, default: 3).
  5. Repeat for additional follow-ups (up to 3 total).

Master Toggle

Use the Active/Paused switch at the top of the follow-up tab to enable or disable all follow-ups without deleting your configuration. When paused, no follow-up tasks are created for new conversations.

Reordering

Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons on each step to change the sequence order.

Execution Flow

  1. Agent sends the initial message to a prospect.
  2. If no reply after the Step 1 delay, the AI generates and sends Follow-up 1.
  3. If still no reply after the Step 2 delay, Follow-up 2 is sent.
  4. Same for Follow-up 3.
  5. If the prospect replies at any point, all remaining follow-ups are cancelled.
The AI sees the full conversation history when generating each follow-up, including all previous messages and follow-ups. This ensures each follow-up feels like a natural continuation, not a disconnected template.

Testing Follow-ups

Use the Sandbox to test your follow-up sequence before going live. After testing the initial message, click the “test follow-up” links that appear to simulate each follow-up step in order. This lets you verify the tone, content, and flow of the entire sequence.

Best Practices

  • Keep delays reasonable: 3-7 days between follow-ups is typical. Too short feels pushy, too long loses momentum.
  • Vary your approach: Each follow-up should take a slightly different angle, not just repeat the same message.
  • Add value: Share an insight, case study, or relevant observation rather than just “checking in.”
  • Keep it short: Follow-ups should be even shorter than your initial message.
