About This Automation

After each home sale closes, agents must request reviews and referrals from clients, but the manual process is fragmented across email drafting, contact lookups, and follow-ups. Many requests are forgotten or delayed, and responses go untracked, leaving money on the table.

Automation sends personalized review and referral requests immediately after closing, automatically follows up with non-responders, logs all responses in the CRM, and creates new contact records for referrals. the team focuses on relationships while the system handles the administrative work.

Key features:
Send personalized review requests automatically after each transaction closes
Compose referral request messages with embedded forms or call-to-action links
Trigger automatic follow-up reminders to clients who do not respond within one week
Extract review text and referral names from incoming emails and texts
Create new contact records in your CRM for each referral lead automatically
Send thank you messages to clients without manual intervention

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Transaction Closestrigger

A new closed transaction is detected or via a webhook from the MLS. The automation captures the client name, email, phone, property address, and name.

2. Fetch Client Profile

The automation retrieves the full client record, including preferred contact method and any previous interactions.

3. Compose Review Request

The automation generates a personalized review request email or SMS based on the property address, client name, and name. The message is tailored to the client's preferred channel.

4. Send Review Request

The review request is sent or (SMS) to the client. A timestamp and message ID are logged.

5. Compose Referral Request

The automation generates a personalized referral request message, including a link to a referral form or a call-to-action to reply with names.

6. Send Referral Request

The referral request is sent via the client's preferred channel. The send is logged with a timestamp.

7. Schedule Follow-Up Reminder

An automated reminder is scheduled to be sent 7 days after the initial request if no response has been received. The reminder is sent via the same channel.

8. Log Responses and Create Referral Leads

When a client responds, the automation captures the review or referral information, posts it, and creates a new contact record for any referral leads. A thank you message is automatically sent.
