How do I set up an ACA lead follow-up automation?

Create a workflow triggered by New contact where source equals your ACA lead vendor. Add an immediate text, a call task, and a two-day email sequence, and exit the workflow the moment the client replies or an application is submitted.

Build the ACA follow-up sequence

  1. Open Automations → New workflow and set the trigger to New contact with tag ACA.
  2. Step 1 — send an SMS within two minutes introducing the agent by name.
  3. Step 2 — create a call task for the assigned producer.
  4. Step 3 — after 20 minutes with no reply, send a subsidy-estimate email.
  5. Steps 4–6 — space follow-ups over days 2, 4, and 7.
  6. Add exit conditions: replied, appointment booked, or application submitted.

Compliance guardrails

  • Respect business hours and the contact's time zone.
  • Include opt-out language in the first SMS.
  • Suppress contacts carrying a do-not-contact tag.

What is a realistic cadence?

Six to eight touches across the first 10 days across text, call, and email captures most of the available contact rate.
