Automations, emails and notifications

Follow up on quotes automatically

Quote follow-up sends one friendly nudge to a customer who hasn't answered your quote after 2, 3, 5 or 7 days.

Who can do this
Owners, and people with the Manage automations permission

Quote follow-up emails a customer who hasn't answered a quote, with the total and a link back to it.

  1. Step 1: Open Automations from the main menu.
  2. Step 2: Turn on the switch next to Quote follow-up.
  3. Step 3: Open the row and pick the Days to wait: 2 days, 3 days, 5 days or 7 days.
  4. Step 4: Click Save.

When it sends

  • Once the days you picked have passed since the quote was sent.
  • Only while the customer hasn't approved the quote or asked for changes, and you haven't voided it.
  • Never after the quote's Valid until date.
  • One follow-up per quote, never more.
  • To the address the quote was last emailed to, or else the customer's primary contact.
  • Not to a customer who unsubscribed from your automated emails.

While a follow-up is waiting, the quote's Activity shows a Reminder scheduled row with the day it should go out. Click Preview email on that row to read it.

Tip: The follow-up uses the Quote follow-up email in Settings › Emails. Change its wording there.

Good to know: Turning the switch off stops any follow-ups that haven't gone out yet.
