How to Put Your Follow-Ups on Autopilot with Amply360

Did you know that 80% of sales require at least 5 follow-up touchpoints.

Yet, 44% of salespeople give up after just one? If you're manually chasing every lead, you're not just losing time. You're losing sales.

With Amply360's automated follow-up workflows, every lead gets a perfectly timed, personalised sequence of messages without you lifting a finger. Here's exactly how to set it up.

Time you'll get back: 2–4 hours per week

Why Manual Follow-Ups Are Costing You More Than Time

Think about how many leads have slipped through the cracks because life got busy. A follow-up got forgotten. An email never got sent. A hot prospect went cold because the timing was off.

Automated follow-up sequences eliminate this entirely. Every new lead enters a system that nurtures them automatically with the right message, at the right time, through the right channel.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Automated Follow-Ups in Amply360

Step 1: Navigate to Workflows

From your Amply360 dashboard, click on Automation → Workflows in the left sidebar. Click "Create New Workflow" and choose to start from scratch or use one of Amply360's pre-built follow-up templates — a great starting point if you're new to automation.

Step 2: Set Your Trigger

Every workflow starts with a trigger — the action that kicks off your follow-up sequence. Common triggers include:

• New lead form submission — Someone fills out a form on your website or landing page

• New contact created — A lead is added to your CRM

• Missed call — A prospect called but you couldn't answer

• Appointment not booked — A lead visited your booking page but didn't complete

• Pipeline stage change — A contact moves to a new stage in your sales pipeline

Step 3: Build Your Follow-Up Sequence

Add actions to your workflow by clicking the "+" button. For a strong follow-up sequence, consider:

• Immediate SMS — Send a text within minutes of the trigger

• Wait 1 hour → Send Email — A detailed introduction email with your value proposition

• Wait 1 day → Send SMS — A friendly check-in

• Wait 3 days → Send Email — Share a case study or testimonial

• Wait 5 days → Send SMS — A final nudge with a clear call to action

Amply360 lets you mix email, SMS, voicemail drops, and even task reminders for your team — all in one sequence.

Step 4: Personalise Every Message

Use Amply360's custom values and merge fields to personalise every message automatically. Insert the contact's first name, the service they enquired about, or even the date they reached out, making each message feel hand-written, not automated.

Step 5: Set Conditional Logic (If/Then Branches)

Use Amply360's If/Then conditions to personalise the journey based on actions:

• If the lead books an appointment → Then stop the sequence and send a confirmation

• If the lead replies → Then notify your team to take over

• If the lead doesn't open any emails → Then switch to SMS only

This ensures leads receive relevant follow-ups — not repetitive ones, which dramatically improves your conversion rate.

Step 6: Activate and Monitor

Once your workflow is built, toggle it to Published. Monitor performance from the Workflow Analytics dashboard — track open rates, reply rates, and bookings generated so you can continually improve.

The Result: No Lead Left Behind

Once this is set up, every single lead — no matter how busy you are — receives a consistent, professional, personalised follow-up experience. Your conversion rate goes up. Your stress levels go down.
