Actions & follow-ups
An action is a to-do for what to do next with a contact. It makes sure the follow-ups you most often miss never slip.
Actions
Overdue (Jun 7).
Action due today.
The Actions screen gathers today's work in one place: quick send (find contact, card/import, booking link, send guidance) at the top, then before the meeting (when you have a booking today), overdue follow-ups, and to do today.
Create an action
You can create an action in several ways. The most basic is to schedule it directly from a contact card.
- Directly on a contact card — contact cardadd a task under ‘Next action.’ Enter a title, a type, and an optional due date.
- From a suggestion — a contact card with no tasks shows one recommendation based on the contact's status, which you can add as an action in one tap.
- From a campaign follow-up — campaign on a campaign's detail, tap ‘Create follow-ups’ to bulk-create follow-up tasks for contacts who were messaged but haven't responded.
- From an automation rule — automation set a rule to auto-create a task when a form is submitted, a status changes, or a contact is created.
Pick a task type from call, message, quote, prepare material, rebook, review, contract, or recontact. Choosing a type keeps it organized in the flow.
Work them on Today
Run these directly from each action card.
- Call · Text — when the contact has a phone number, the card opens your phone or messaging app directly.
- Done — mark a handled action as done so it leaves the list.
- Tomorrow — snooze an action you couldn't get to until 9 AM the next day.
The same actions also appear on Today, so they're the first thing you see when you start your day.
Catching overdue follow-ups
Actions past their due date group at the top with an Overdue badge and a reason to act now (e.g. it's overdue). Due dates are stored to end-of-day (23:59), so they don't flip to overdue on the same day.
Action vs note vs sequence
These three play different roles. Use them together as needed.
- Action — a single to-do that schedules ‘what to do next.’
- Notes — records ‘what happened.’ Leave one alongside an action right after a call.
- Sequences — an automatic follow-up flow on a set cadence. Each step due creates an action.
