Follow up on every new VFX bid inquiry

Every morning, WebRun opens Vani Software, reads new project inquiries and their bid line items, and drafts a tailored follow-up email in Gmail for each one, then leaves every message unsent in your drafts folder so a producer can review the numbers and tone before it reaches the client.

    • Draft a warm, on-brand follow-up email to each inquiry contact
    • Reference the project name, the shot count, and the headline bid figure so the message feels specific
    • Leave every email unsent as a draft in Gmail for your producer to review and send
    • Never send a bid or quote to a client without a human approving it first

    Done when A tailored follow-up draft sits in Gmail for every new inquiry, ready for review.

How do I follow up on new VFX bid inquiries automatically?

WebRun opens Vani Software every morning, finds new project inquiries with no follow-up logged, and reads each bid's contact, shot count, and total. It then drafts a tailored follow-up email in Gmail and leaves it unsent for a producer to review, so no promising VFX lead goes cold and no quote reaches a client unapproved.

  • Every new inquiry gets a same-day follow-up draft, so leads never go cold
  • Producers review real bid numbers before anything reaches the client
  • Already-answered inquiries are skipped automatically from live Vani Software status

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email the client without me?

No. WebRun leaves every follow-up unsent as a Gmail draft. A producer reviews the numbers and the tone, then sends it, so no bid ever reaches a client without human approval.

How does it know which inquiries still need a follow-up?

It reads the follow-up status in Vani Software each morning, so any inquiry your team has already replied to is skipped and only genuinely open leads get a draft.

Can it match our studio voice?

Yes. Give WebRun a tone note or a past winning email and it will mirror your phrasing, keeping every draft on-brand while still referencing the specific project and figures.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
