How do I follow up on stale TextFree leads automatically?

WebRun checks TextFree every morning for lead conversations with no reply in over 24 hours, creates a Trello follow-up card for each one, and drafts a short WhatsApp message as a second way to reach them. The draft stays unsent until a person reviews it, so cold leads get a real follow-up attempt without anything going out unattended.

  • Stale leads are caught within 24 hours
  • A ready alternate outreach draft is waiting for every cold lead
  • Nothing gets sent to a lead without a human review

Questions, answered

Will WebRun message the lead on WhatsApp without me?

No. It only drafts the message and leaves it unsent. A person on your team reviews and sends it before anything reaches the lead.

Why try WhatsApp instead of texting again on TextFree?

Because a lead who has gone quiet on one channel sometimes responds on another. WebRun only drafts the attempt, the decision to send is still yours.

What counts as a stale lead?

Any lead conversation with no reply from them for more than 24 hours since your last message.

Put this on autopilot.
