How to Follow Up Leads on WhatsApp Automatically

A customer asks for a price, then goes quiet. That is where many sales are lost, usually because nobody remembered to follow up. A follow-up sequence sends timed messages to leads who do not reply, so every lead gets a gentle nudge without you lifting a finger.

How a follow-up sequence works

A sequence is a set of messages with delays. In the demo: one hour after the last message, then one day, then three days. Each message uses the first name of the lead.

Set one up

  1. Open WhatsApp, then Follow-ups in your EaziMarketing dashboard.
  2. Create a sequence and give it a clear name, for example Cake enquiry follow-up.
  3. Add your messages and choose how many minutes to wait before each one.
  4. Personalise with the first name placeholder so each message feels personal.
  5. Keep the sequence active.

It stops when the lead replies

Follow-ups stop automatically when the lead replies or when you take over the conversation manually, so customers are never nagged after they answer.
