Automatic follow-ups and templates

Updated Oct 20, 2026

Automations send the right text or email at the right moment, so nothing depends on someone remembering.

Rules

Open Automations to see each rule: When it starts (a new lead, a quote sent, a job done, N days before the move...), how long it waits, and Then what it does (send a template, make a task or alert the owner).

  • Press New rule, or Edit one, and Turn on / Turn off each with its button.
  • Run history shows what went out and what was skipped.

Sequences

Sequences are follow-up series: several texts and emails over a few days that stop by themselves when the customer answers.

Templates

Settings › Email & text templates holds the messages you send again and again. Type merge fields like {first_name} or {move_date} and they fill in for each customer; Preview shows a sample. Templates are used in Conversations, Automations and Reviews.

Quiet hours

Texts only go out outside your quiet hours (9 p.m. to 8 a.m. by default, set in Settings › Phone & texting). A text due at night goes out in the morning.
