Follow-up automation
Every follow-up sent on time.
Quote follow-ups, payment reminders and enquiry replies sent on schedule by WhatsApp and email, and stopped the moment the customer responds.
What is follow-up automation?
Follow-up automation sends reminders for open quotations, pending payments and new enquiries on a schedule, by WhatsApp or email, and stops as soon as the customer replies. It makes sure no quotation or receivable is forgotten.

You will recognise this.
If two or more of these are true in your company, this is usually worth automating first.
- Quotes go out and nobody follows up until the customer has bought elsewhere.
- Payment reminders depend on someone remembering to call.
- You cannot say which enquiries got a second or third follow-up.
- Follow-up status lives in one salesperson's head or phone.
How it works.
-
1
Know what is open
Open quotes, pending payments and new enquiries are read from your CRM, Tally or Excel.
-
2
Follow up on schedule
Messages go out on WhatsApp or email in your tone, at the intervals you set.
-
3
Stop when they reply
A response pauses the sequence and alerts the right person.

A weekly view of every open quote and receivable and where it stands.
Questions about follow-up automation.
Can follow-ups be automated on WhatsApp?
Yes. Using the WhatsApp Business API, follow-up messages go out in your tone at the intervals you choose, and replies are routed to the right person.
Can payment reminders be automated from Tally?
Yes. Outstanding invoices are read from Tally, and reminders are sent before and after the due date until payment is recorded.
Will customers find automated follow-ups annoying?
Not when they are spaced sensibly and stop on reply. Messages are written in your voice and reviewed before launch, and anything beyond routine goes to a person.
Does follow-up automation need a CRM?
No. It can work from Excel or Tally, and it can also sync with a CRM such as Zoho or HubSpot if you use one.
