Draft polite follow-ups when email goes unanswered
A Lindy workflow checks sent emails after a delay and prepares a follow-up draft only when nobody replies.
- What they did
- A commenter linked Lindy to their sent messages so the flow could track each outgoing email. Once the chosen waiting period passes, it looks for a response and, if none shows up, writes a follow-up message. That draft is then delivered to the user’s inbox for a person to review.
- How it went
- They said they had only been using it since the previous day, but it seemed to be doing the job. No counts, reply rates, or other longer-term numbers were shared.
- Tips
- Keeping a person in the loop before sending is the important safeguard here. That extra check helps prevent an automatic reply from going out when a late response has already arrived.
Try it yourself with Lindy
Create a Lindy flow for my email account that monitors messages I send to [clients/prospects/other recipients]. After [number] business days, look for a reply. If there isn’t one, write a brief, courteous follow-up in my style that refers to the earlier email, then place the message in my inbox for review. Do not send, delete, submit, or change anything permanently until I approve the draft and the setup.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
