Follow-ups and coverage guides

Automated follow-up is a configured message or conversation that continues an earlier customer interaction, such as a reminder or an unanswered inquiry.

How should follow-ups and after-hours requests work?

Set the timing, permitted channels and situations that need a team response. Use approved consent and opt-out rules for messages. Test an after-hours inquiry and a follow-up before turning either workflow on.

Which follow-ups are worth automating first?

Start with appointment reminders and replies to inquiries that never booked.

These are frequent, predictable and easy to check for mistakes.

Add other follow-ups only after the first ones have run correctly for a few weeks.

What happens to after-hours inquiries?

The AI answers after-hours calls and messages using the same rules as during the day.

It can collect details and book where allowed, then flag anything urgent for your team.

Decide in advance which after-hours requests need a person the next morning.
