Follow-up workflows

Workflows are your set-and-forget follow-up cadences. Unlike one-off AI tasks, they run on their own for every enrolled lead — and stop the instant someone replies.

What a workflow is

A workflow is an ordered sequence of steps, each with a delay, a channel (SMS, email, call, or task), and a message. Once a lead is enrolled, the sequence runs automatically in the background.

No per-step AI cost

Workflows are deterministic — they send the messages you set, so there's no AI charge per step. They're the efficient way to handle predictable follow-up, with your AI rep reserved for the judgment calls.

Building one

  1. Open Workflows

    Go to Workflows in the left nav.

  2. Create the sequence

    Add steps by hand, or use "🛠️ Build a workflow with AI" to generate one from a plain-English goal like "follow up with new solar leads for two weeks."

  3. Set it as default (optional)

    Make a workflow the default for new leads so enrollment is automatic.

  4. Toggle it on

    Turn the workflow on; enrolled leads begin moving through the steps.

Watching it run

The Workflows page shows live enrollments — which lead is on which step, and when the next step fires. Finished enrollments show their outcome, such as "stopped — lead replied" or "escalated."

Replies pause everything

The moment a lead responds, their workflow pauses so a human (or your AI rep) can take the conversation from there. No one gets a canned message after they've already answered.

Workflows vs. AI Tasks

  • Use a workflow for predictable, repeatable cadences (new-lead nurture, appointment reminders, long-term drip).
  • Use an AI Task when you want the AI to read the situation and draft something tailored — a hot-lead call, a win-back, a segment blast.

Set it and forget it. Build a nurture sequence in a couple of minutes.
