Follow-up sequences
Follow up every lead,
without remembering to.
Most sales on WhatsApp are lost to silence, not to a no. A sequence sends the second and third message on time, and gets out of the way the moment the customer answers.

What is Follow-up sequences?
A WhatsApp drip sequence is a series of messages sent at set delays after a trigger, such as a customer's first message, an ad click, a tag being added or an order being delivered. It stops automatically when the customer replies.
- 01Follow-ups depend on someone remembering.
- Each step goes out on its delay, day or night.
- 02Customers get chased after they already replied.
- A reply stops the sequence for that contact.
- 03Every lead gets the same broadcast.
- Sequences start from what the customer actually did.

Contacts are enrolled
Automatically when the trigger happens, or by hand, or from Zapier.
04
It stops when they answer
A reply ends the sequence, so a person or the AI can take the conversation.

Talk to us01What happens if the customer replies?
The sequence stops for that contact, so they are never chased after answering.
02Can I start a sequence from another app?
Yes. The Zapier and Make integration can enrol a contact.
03Is this the same as a broadcast?
No. A broadcast goes to a list at once. A sequence is personal, timed from what each contact did.
