How to Set Up Automated Follow-ups in Hoola:
1 Create Your Initial Flow:
Start by designing your welcome or initial interaction flow (eg: Welcome Flow).
Include clear call-to-action messages, such as subscription requests.
2 Add the Follow-up Condition:
At the end of your initial message, locate the option to add a condition.
This condition will trigger if the customer doesn't respond.
3 Set the Time Delay:
Choose the appropriate time interval for your follow-up (e.g., hours, days).
Consider your audience and the urgency of your message when setting this delay.
4 Craft Your Follow-up Message:
Create a friendly reminder that acknowledges the lack of response.
Include a clear, easy-to-use action button for the customer to engage.
5 Connect the Response Paths:
Link positive responses to your desired outcome (e.g., welcome message for new subscribers).
Ensure all potential customer actions are accounted for in your flow.
6 Set Multiple Follow-ups (Optional):
For critical communications, consider setting up multiple follow-ups.
Gradually increase the time interval between messages to avoid overwhelming the customer.
7 Create a Graceful Exit:
After a set number of attempts, include a final message that leaves the door open for future interactions.
This prevents your brand from appearing pushy while maintaining a positive relationship.
Pro Tips:
Personalize your follow-up messages to increase their effectiveness.
A/B test different time intervals and message content to optimize your response rates.
Use Hoola's analytics to track the performance of your follow-up sequences and refine your strategy.
