Capture and follow up
Marketing automation that keeps running when you’re busy.
Your leads and customers get relevant emails and texts based on what they’ve done. AI can draft the campaigns, and you approve them before they go out.
A good fit for
- Businesses with a contact list they rarely use
- Services with long decision times or repeat customers
- Owners who don’t have time to run campaigns each week
How it works
The cycle that keeps your marketing moving
Each contact’s actions decide what they get next. What you learn from one round improves the next, and clear rules stop messages when they should stop.
Automated Your team
1. Something happens
A signup, purchase, click or quiet period
2. The contact is grouped
By interest, stage and history
3. A message is prepared
AI drafts it and you approve it
4. It goes out
By email or text at the set time
5. Responses are tracked
Opens, clicks, replies and bookings
6. The results guide the next step
Records and groups are updated
Then back to step 1.
Messages stop when
- The contact unsubscribes or opts out
- They book or buy, unless you’ve set a next sequence
- They ask to speak to a person
Before and after
What changes for your business
Marketing is the first thing to slip when the day fills up. Newsletters get skipped, leads go cold and past customers stop hearing from you.
Today: Newsletters and campaigns go out when someone has time
With automation: Sequences run on schedule, based on customer actions
Today: Everyone on the list gets the same message
With automation: Contacts get messages that match their interests and stage
Today: It’s hard to tell what brought in inquiries
With automation: Results are in one place, so you can see what to keep

A walkthrough
Example: a cleaning company follows up after a first job
A hypothetical example of how this can work, not a client story.
- 01A one-off clean is marked complete in the CRM.
- 02The customer gets a thank-you email with a link to book again.
- 03If they don’t book, they get a seasonal offer you approved weeks later.
- 04When they book a regular clean, they move out of the sequence.
FAQ
Questions about marketing automation
Do I need to change email marketing tools?
Usually not. We start with what you have and only suggest a change if your current tool can’t do what you need.
Will AI send campaigns without my approval?
No, not unless you ask for that. By default, AI-drafted campaigns wait for your approval. Agreed sequences then run automatically.
Can you use my existing contact list?
Yes, if you have permission to market to the people on it. We review consent, remove duplicates and set up unsubscribes before anything is sent.
