Never Miss a Lead Again: Automate Your Follow-Up in Under 10 Minutes

You can’t scale chaos. Automate what you repeat, or get buried by what you neglect. - Alex Hormozi

💡 BUSINESS TIP:

Speed = Sales.

Studies show that responding to a lead within the first 5 minutes increases conversion rates by up to 400%.
But most small business owners take hours — or even days — to respond.

The fix? Automated follow-up using HighLevel.

8 Reasons

HOW TO: Set Up an Instant Follow-Up in HighLevel

Here’s how to create a smart, automated response system that texts and emails your lead immediately after they fill out your form.

STEP 1: Build Your Lead Form

  • Go to Sites > Forms > Builder

  • Click + New Form

  • Add fields: Name, Email, Phone Number

  • Click Integrations tab, and choose your pipeline stage (e.g. "New Lead")

  • Save & Embed the form on your landing page

STEP 2: Create an Automation Workflow

  • Navigate to Automation > Workflows

  • Click + New Workflow > Start from Scratch

Trigger:

  • Choose “Form Submitted” as your trigger

  • Select the form you just created

Add Action:

  • Send SMS
    Text: Hey {{contact.first_name}}, thanks for reaching out! We’ll be in touch shortly.

  • Send Email
    Subject: Thanks for your message!
    Body: Hi {{contact.first_name}}, just letting you know we received your info and will reach out soon.

Optional:

  • Add a wait step (5 minutes), then assign to user or create task for manual follow-up

STEP 3: Test Your Funnel

  • Submit a form using a test contact

  • You should receive both the text and email instantly

🔁 BONUS TIP: Add a "Reply STOP to opt out" line in your SMS to stay compliant.

✅ RESULT:

You now have a 24/7 follow-up assistant working behind the scenes — no missed leads, no late replies, and no manual work.
