Let's Build a Workflow
Workflows are great for when a new prospect or lead submits a webform on your website or opts in from a key work text message and you want to automatically follow up with them.
It can be difficult to follow up with every new prospect or lead right away, so that's where workflows come in handy. They ensure that your tasks that you have get accomplished without having to worry.

3. Click on the box next to Name on the left-hand side of the page and type in a name for your workflow.

5. Click on the box under Notification and type in what you want the notification to say when a new prospect or lead opts in from your website.
For example: You have a new lead from your seller website. Contact them as soon as possible
You will then choose how you want to receive the notification either via text and/or email. Click on the toggles to choose your notification method.
After you click on the toggles, a check mark will appear. Click on the boxes below and type in your phone number and/or email address in order to receive the notification.
Click on Add Recipient when finished filling in the phone number and/or email address. You can add more than one recipient to receive the notification.
To remove a recipient, click on the x located on the right-hand side.
6. Next, click on Tagging. Any new prospect or lead who comes in through this workflow will have this tag.
Click on the box under Apply Tags. You can choose from tags that you have already created or create a new tag.
For example: Seller Lead
7. Next, Click on Source. You are going to assign a source to this new prospect or lead.
Click on the box under Set Source and choose from your list of sources.
For example: Seller Website
If you don't have a source created, you can create them by clicking on your name located in the upper right-hand corner and select System Settings in the drop-down menu. On the left-hand side, click on Sources under CRM.
8. Next, click on Delay. You will delay a message to your new prospect or lead after they have opted in on your website.
After a prospect or lead opts in on your website, click on the boxes under Wait at least ... and type in a certain length of time they will wait to receive your message such as a text reply.
9. Next, click on Text Reply.
Click on the box where it says "Type Message Here," and type in a message that you want to send to your new prospect or lead.
For example: “Hey Chris, this is Josh from STL Home Offers. I just saw that you submitted your property information for a cash offer. Our team is working on it as we speak. If you have any questions, please call or text us at this number.”
