Sample Automation Build

Automated Email Follow-Up Workflow

A structured follow-up sequence triggered when a lead enters the system — sends timed emails, logs opens and replies, and updates the CRM stage automatically.

Role

Automation Builder

Timeline

5-Day Setup

Four steps from problem to system.

Audit the existing follow-up

Reviewed how follow-ups were being sent (if at all), identified the gaps, and mapped the desired sequence timing and content.

Design the sequence

Defined the trigger, the number of follow-up steps, the wait periods between each, and the exit condition when someone replies.

Build & automate

Built the Zapier workflow connecting the lead form → Gmail sequence → reply detection → CRM stage update.

Test & optimize

Tested the full sequence from initial trigger through reply detection, verified stage updates were correct, and adjusted timing.

Context

What this was built to solve.

Follow-ups were being sent manually and inconsistently. Interested leads were slipping through because there was no structured sequence, no record of when someone was last contacted, and no way to track who had replied.

Outcome

More consistent follow-up, less manual inbox checking, and a cleaner outbound process.
