Scheduled follow-ups for abandoned leads or inquiries

Purpose

1.1 Automate scheduled follow-ups targeting leads or inquiries that have not converted, ensuring no prospective client is overlooked in the automobile storage context.
1.2 Automating timely communications maintains prospect engagement, increases conversion rates, and supports corporate sales processes for vehicle storage.
1.3 Automatedly reach out using multiple channels (SMS, email, voice, messaging apps) at configured intervals until a lead responds or the status is updated.
1.4 Automatically personalize follow-ups using stored data, branding, and lead details for higher engagement and trust.
1.5 Transform manual, error-prone communication into a systemic, automatable workflow, reducing human error and resource use.

Trigger Conditions

2.1 Lead or inquiry is logged in CRM, website, or intake system but shows inactivity for a configurable period (e.g., 24, 48, 72 hours).
2.2 Absence of follow-up activity recorded or specific lead status in CRM remains “abandoned”, “unresponsive”, or “pending”.
2.3 Automatedly triggered after abandoned web forms, chat transcripts, call logs, or missed appointment notifications.
2.4 Periodic (e.g., daily or weekly) batch automation reviews for leads without engagement.
