πŸ“ Where to find it: Reach your customers β†’ Flows β†’ New β†’ "Fast follow-up (speed-to-lead)" template

Fast follow-up (speed-to-lead) means getting back to a new lead within a minute: an immediate SMS as soon as a conversation starts, then a follow-up the next day if the lead hasn't replied. It's the reflex that wins the most sales.

How it works

The "Fast follow-up" template creates a Flow triggered by "New conversation": it sends an acknowledgement SMS right away, waits one day, then sends a follow-up β€” and the follow-up cancels itself automatically if the lead replies in the meantime ("stop if the contact replies"). Each SMS goes through the anti-ban consent check. Madyis Hub also keeps a legacy speed-to-lead sequences engine, but the Flow template is the recommended way to set this up today.

Step by step

  1. Connect an SMS number (Inboxes β†’ Add a channel β†’ SMS).
  2. Open Reach your customers β†’ Flows β†’ "New".
  3. Choose the "Fast follow-up (speed-to-lead)" template.
  4. Adapt the text of the immediate SMS and the follow-up (use {{contact.name}}).
  5. Adjust the wait time before the follow-up if needed.
  6. Publish the Flow by checking the consent attestation.

Good to know

  • Keep "Stop if the contact replies" enabled so you don't follow up with a lead who has already come back to you.
  • For a follow-up that includes a human call, add an "Automatic call" step after the SMS.
  • SMS follow-up requires consent: when publishing, attest that your leads have agreed to be contacted.
