Application Reminders

A linear drip of retreat-branded emails and SMS over about six days to nudge incomplete or unresponsive applicants to finish applying.

1 trigger 13 steps Intermediate
What it does

A structured drip sequence that sends a series of retreat-branded emails and SMS messages at timed intervals — Day 0 trigger, then follow-ups at 1-day, 2-day, and longer wait gaps — designed to nudge incomplete or unresponsive applicants back into the funnel. Ends with a final drop-off point for contacts who don't re-engage after the full sequence.

The value

Most people who start an application and don't finish aren't gone — they're just busy, distracted, or sitting on the fence. This automation does the following up so no one on the team has to. It keeps the retreat front of mind across multiple touchpoints without being pushy, and it recovers leads that would otherwise be lost silently.

Where it fits

This sits between application submission and interview booking — it's the persistence layer that bridges the gap for prospects who showed enough interest to start but didn't complete the next step. Even recovering 2–3 applicants per retreat cycle from this sequence has a significant revenue impact.

Overall purpose

This workflow is a linear application reminder and retreat promotion sequence for the Woman's Amazon Retreat. It uses emails, SMS messages, wait steps, and drip batching to guide contacts through a six-day follow-up campaign. Note: • The workflow currently has no trigger configured. • It will not run automatically until a trigger is added or contacts are enrolled manually.
