Questions, answered

Will it email prospects without my approval?

No. Every follow-up is saved as a Gmail draft. WebRun never sends to a prospect until you review and click Send yourself.

How far back does it look for unanswered proposals?

By default it flags proposals with no reply after two days. You can adjust that threshold when you set up the workflow.

What if a prospect has already replied elsewhere?

It reads the current proposal status in Total Party Planner each run, so prospects who replied or booked are skipped automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
