Set up automated multi-step follow-up once — let the CRM execute it for every lead.
The average B2B sale in India requires 8 follow-up touches before a decision is made. Yet most sales reps give up after 2–3 attempts. The reason isn't laziness — it's that manually remembering and executing 8 follow-ups across hundreds of active leads is humanly impossible without a system. Auto follow-up sequences are that system: you define the cadence once, and the CRM executes it consistently for every lead, every time.
Sequences become transformative when they're multi-channel. A sequence that sends an email on Day 1, a WhatsApp brochure on Day 3, and a call task on Day 6 reaches the prospect through three different channels — significantly increasing the chance that at least one touchpoint lands. For Indian markets where email open rates are low but WhatsApp response rates are high, multi-channel sequences consistently outperform single-channel email drip campaigns.
Multi-Channel Steps
Each sequence step can be an email, WhatsApp message, SMS, task reminder, or call task — in any combination.
Trigger-Based Enrolment
Enrol contacts automatically when they reach a specific pipeline stage, fill a form, or match a Smart List rule.
Reply Auto-Pause
The sequence pauses automatically on reply — the rep takes over the live conversation from that point.
Delay Controls
Set delays in hours or days between steps, with business-hours-only options to avoid weekend messages.
Sequence Analytics
Open rate, reply rate, and drop-off point per step — so you can identify where follow-up is failing.
CA practice managing GST filing deadline reminders for 400 clients
A Chartered Accountancy firm in Ahmedabad was manually calling 400 clients before every GST filing deadline — a 3-day exercise every month. After building a sequence triggered 15 days before the deadline (WhatsApp reminder D-15 → email reminder D-7 → call task D-3), the manual calling exercise was eliminated. Partner time was redirected to client advisory work. Filing completion rates actually improved because reminders were more consistent.
Ed-tech company recovering abandoned course registrations
An online learning platform in Pune was seeing 70% of course registrations abandoned at the payment page. A recovery sequence — SMS 1 hour after abandonment, WhatsApp 6 hours later with a limited-time discount, email 24 hours later — recovered 28% of abandoned registrations in the first month. This sequence now runs automatically for every abandonment event.
Insurance agency automating renewal follow-up across 8,000 policies
An insurance agency in Chennai manages 8,000 active policies. Renewal follow-up was done by 6 employees calling from an Excel sheet — inefficient, error-prone, and impossible to scale. Auto sequences now send renewal reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry for every policy automatically. The 6-person renewal team was reduced to 2, and renewal rates improved because timing became consistent.
vs Workflow Automation Builder
Sequences are linear follow-up cadences for a contact. Workflow Automation handles broader CRM logic — changing deal stages, assigning leads, sending internal Slack alerts, or updating fields based on triggers. Use both together.
