Client Reactivation & Follow-Up

Q: Can the practice manager customize the reactivation emails before they are sent?

Yes, all generated emails are routed to the practice manager for review and approval before sending, allowing customization to match the practice's tone and any special circumstances.

Q: How does the automation handle clients who do not respond to the first email?

The system automatically schedules a second follow-up message 14 days after the first outreach, and tracks all responses in the CRM so no client falls through the cracks.

Q: Will this work with our existing CRM and email setup?

The automation integrates with mainstream CRM and email platforms like HubSpot, Gmail, and Google Sheets; the integration team will confirm compatibility during setup.

Q: What happens to client data that is already in our spreadsheets?

Existing client records and outreach history are imported into the CRM during setup, ensuring no data is lost and the automation has complete context for personalization.

About This Automation

Client reactivation requires manually scanning records, drafting personalized outreach, and tracking responses across multiple tools. This fragmented process consumes significant staff time and often results in delayed or inconsistent follow-up.

Automation identifies inactive clients, segments them by reason, and generates personalized reactivation emails ready for review and approval. The practice manager focuses on relationship decisions while the system handles data gathering and message composition.

Key features:

Scan CRM records to identify clients inactive for 90+ days automatically

Segment inactive clients by reason for inactivity to tailor outreach

Generate personalized reactivation emails that reference client history

Track outreach activity and responses in the CRM without manual entry

Schedule and send follow-up messages to non-responders after 14 days

Update client status and close reactivation loops in real time

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Client Inactivity Detectedtrigger

The automation runs daily and identifies all clients with no appointment or contact logged in the last 90 days. A list of inactive clients is compiled from the CRM.

2. Segment Clients by Reason

The automation reviews each client's history, notes, and last interaction type to assign them to a reactivation segment: completed treatment, moved away, cost concerns, or unknown.

3. Generate Personalised Email

The automation drafts a warm, personalised reactivation email for each client, referencing their previous work and tailoring the message to their segment.

4. Send Email

The automation sends the personalised email to the client's address and logs the send timestamp in the CRM.

5. Log Activity

The outreach event, email content, and client segment are recorded in the CRM contact record for audit and future reference.

6. Schedule Follow-Up Task

A follow-up task is automatically created for 14 days later if the client does not respond or book an appointment.

7. Notify Team

A summary notification is sent to the practice team showing how many clients were contacted, how many responded, and which clients need manual follow-up.
