01

Overview

Follow-up Tasks is a light CRM layer. It auto-generates tasks for the team — "Call Sarah about her colour two weeks after the service", "Win back Ahmed, no visit for 60 days", "Send birthday message to Maya" — and tracks outcomes so you know which conversations turned into revenue.

02

Activation

  1. 1Dashboard → Add-ons → Follow-up Tasks → Activate.
  2. 2Open Add-ons → Follow-up Tasks. The List, Today, and Kanban views sit at the top.
  3. 3Set up auto-rules under Settings before relying on the system.
03

List, Today, Kanban

List
Every task with filters by status, type, member, priority, outcome, date. Bulk-complete, reassign, or snooze multiple tasks.
Today
Three columns — Overdue, Due Today, Upcoming. The daily work view.
Kanban
Columns by outcome state: Not Started, In Progress, Reached, Voicemail, No-Answer, Rebooked, Converted. Drag tasks between.
04

Creating a task manually

  1. 1Click New Task.
  2. 2Fill in: title, type (Callback / Reminder / Post-Treatment / Custom), client, assigned team member, due date, priority, notes.
  3. 3Save. The task appears in the list and in Today if due today.
05

Auto-create rules

The real power is automation. Settings → Auto-Create Rules.

  1. 1Turn on Auto-Create on Completion.
  2. 2Add a rule: pick a service or category, choose task type, set how many days after completion to create, who to assign (the provider who delivered the service is a strong default).
  3. 3Save. Every matching completed appointment now generates a follow-up task automatically.
06

Outcomes & retries

When the team works a task, they record an outcome: Reached, Voicemail, No-Answer, Rebooked, Converted (linked to a sale). Outcomes drive retries.

Reached / Rebooked / Converted
Task closes.
Voicemail / No-Answer
If a retry rule matches, a new task is auto-created after the configured delay, up to a max retry count.
07

Lapsed · birthday · no-show

Lapsed Client
Client hasn't visited in N days (default 60). A win-back task auto-generates, assigned to the last provider.
Birthday Greeting
A task is auto-created N days before each client's birthday.
No-Show
Every missed appointment spawns a no-show follow-up so the team can check in and offer a reschedule.
08

Messaging from a task

Open any task and hit Send SMS, WhatsApp, or Email. A template textarea supports {firstName}, {lastName}, {fullName}, {businessName} variables. Sent messages are attached to the task's history.

When the message leads to a sale, hit Link Sale — the revenue attributes to the team member on the task, which feeds into reports.

09

Tips

  • Start with two rules — post-treatment callback at day 14 and lapsed client at 60 days. Add more as you see the pattern in your reports.
  • Always set an outcome. A task with no outcome is noise; a task with an outcome is data.
  • Link sales from converted tasks. The Staff Report shows the revenue every team member drove from follow-ups — the single clearest incentive to work the list.
