In short

How do I automatically follow up on spot buy quotes before they expire?

WebRun checks DDI Inform every weekday afternoon for open spot buy quotes expiring within three days that have not converted to an order. It drafts a follow-up email to each customer in Gmail for the salesperson to review and send, and logs the full open quote pipeline to a Google Sheet ranked by dollar value, so high value quotes never go cold from being forgotten.

  • Quotes within three days of expiring get a drafted follow-up before they go cold
  • The highest value open quotes surface first in a ranked pipeline sheet
  • Converted quotes drop off the follow-up list automatically

Questions, answered

Will it email customers about their quote without approval?

No. Every follow-up is drafted and left unsent in Gmail. The salesperson reviews and sends each one themselves before it reaches a customer.

How does it decide which quotes need a follow-up first?

It filters to quotes expiring within three days, and the pipeline sheet is sorted by dollar value, so the biggest, most time sensitive quotes get worked first.

What happens once a quote turns into an order?

It reads the live quote status in DDI Inform each afternoon, so any quote already converted to an order drops off the follow-up list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
