About This Automation

Off-the-plan buyer enquiries arrive across multiple channels and are manually logged into spreadsheets with inconsistent data entry and no qualification scoring. This creates delays, duplicate work, and lost leads.

Automation captures enquiries instantly, scores buyer qualification automatically, validates documents, and sends timely responses without manual intervention. Sales staff focus on high-priority leads and discovery calls instead of data entry.

Key features:
Capture enquiries from email, web forms, and phone messages into a single inbox
Score and qualify buyers automatically against budget, timeline, and location criteria
Validate proof of funds and ID documents and flag incomplete submissions
Send welcome emails and document requests instantly without manual composition
Track document status and send reminder emails to non-responsive buyers
Log call outcomes and schedule follow-up activities with qualified leads

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Enquiry Receivedtrigger

New enquiry arrives via email, web form, or phone message. The automation platform captures the enquiry and extracts buyer details.

2. Normalize and Log Enquiry

Buyer name, email, phone, project interest, and budget are automatically extracted and logged as a new contact and deal.

3. Qualify Buyer Automatically

The automation reviews the enquiry against qualification rules (budget range, timeline, location match) and assigns a qualification score and status.

4. Send Welcome Email and Document Request

An automated email is sent immediately with project brochure, welcome message, and a link to a secure document upload form for proof of funds and ID.

5. Monitor Document Submission

The automation tracks document uploads and sends automated reminders if documents are not received within 48 hours and again at 5 days.

6. Verify Documents and Update Status

The automation reviews uploaded documents for completeness and validity, then updates the buyer status to qualified, pending, or rejected.

7. Notify Sales Team and Trigger Nurture

A notification alerts the sales team of qualified leads. An automated nurture sequence begins, sending project updates and scheduling a discovery call.

8. Log Outcome and Queue Next Action

After the discovery call, the sales manager logs the outcome. The automation queues the next nurture email or follow-up task based on buyer interest level.
