Hi all—I've been struggling with leads falling through the cracks because I forget to follow up, and I know a lot of agents here have too.
I spent some time figuring out a fix last week. Here's the simple version (free if you're patient with setup):
1. Sign up for a free n8n account — it's a tool that lets you build little "if this, then that" automations without coding.
2. Make a Google Sheet with these columns: Name, Email, Last Contacted Date.
3. In n8n, build a workflow that does this once a day: check the sheet → find any lead where "Last Contacted Date" is more than 3 days ago → send them a short, friendly email from your Gmail.
4. Write the email once. n8n will use the lead's name automatically each time it sends.
That's it. You now have an assistant that nudges your leads while you sleep.
If any step is confusing, drop a comment — happy to walk you through it 🙏
