Automation Features

🎯

Drip Campaigns

Create multi-step email sequences that nurture leads over days/weeks. Educate prospects, share case studies, build trust automatically.

Example 5-email sequence:
  • Day 0: Welcome email + introduce Lead16
  • Day 2: Case study (how client increased sales 47%)
  • Day 5: Feature highlight (offline mode)
  • Day 8: Social proof (testimonials + G2 reviews)
  • Day 12: Limited-time offer + call-to-action

Behavior-Based Triggers

Send emails automatically based on lead actions. When prospect opens email 3 times, downloads content, or visits pricing page—trigger appropriate follow-up.

TriggerAction
Lead opens email 3+ timesSend "I noticed you're interested" email
Lead clicks pricing linkTag as "high intent" + notify sales rep
No reply after 7 daysSend "Just checking in" email
Lead downloads case studySend related case study + book demo

Smart Reminders

Automatic task creation and notifications. When lead doesn't reply, when deal sits in stage too long, when follow-up date arrives—get notified.

  • ✓ "Lead hasn't been contacted in 7 days" → Create call task
  • ✓ "Deal stuck in Proposal stage for 14 days" → Alert manager
  • ✓ "Lead opened your proposal email" → Desktop notification
  • ✓ "Follow-up due today" → Morning reminder email

Auto-Stop on Reply

When lead replies to any email in sequence, automation immediately stops. Prevents awkward situation where automated emails continue after conversation starts.

Smart: Lead replies → Automation stops → Sales rep gets notified → Manual conversation begins. No automated emails sent after human engagement.

Optimal Send Times

Configure when emails send for maximum open rates. Lead16 can automatically detect lead's time zone and send at optimal local time.

✓ Best practices:
  • • Tuesday-Thursday
  • • 9-11am or 1-3pm
  • • Local time zone
  • • Avoid weekends
✗ Avoid:
  • • Monday mornings
  • • Friday afternoons
  • • Outside 8am-6pm
  • • Holidays

Frequently Asked Questions

How do automated follow-ups work in Lead16?

Create email sequences that automatically send based on triggers: new lead added, no reply after 3 days, lead opened email 3 times, etc. Set up once, runs forever. Lead16 sends personalized emails automatically without manual work.

Can I customize when follow-up emails are sent?

Yes, completely. Set delays (send 2 days after previous email), specific times (Tuesday at 10am), or behavior triggers (send when lead opens 3rd email). Each sequence step is customizable.

Will automated emails look personal or spammy?

Automated emails are sent individually (not bulk/BCC) with personalized variables like {{firstName}}, {{companyName}}. They appear in your Gmail Sent folder. Recipients cannot tell it is automated - looks like you personally sent it.

What happens if a lead replies to an automated email?

The automation sequence immediately stops for that lead. You get notified of the reply. This prevents awkward situations where automated emails continue after human conversation starts.

Can I test automated follow-up sequences before activating?

Yes! Send test emails to yourself to see exactly what leads will receive. Check timing, personalization, and content. Adjust and re-test until perfect, then activate for real leads.
