Follow-Up Tasks

Follow-Up Task Assignment After a Reply

When a lead replies, create an owned, due-dated follow-up task on the assigned rep automatically, so a warm inbound reply turns into a tracked next action instead of a message someone meant to get to.

Problem

The operating gap

A lead replies to an email or text, the rep sees it, intends to follow up, and it slips. There's no task, no due date, and no owner accountability, so warm replies, the easiest deals to keep alive, quietly go cold in a busy inbox.

Build

What gets built

On inbound reply, create a follow-up task assigned to the deal owner with a sensible due time, surface it on their task list, and escalate if it goes overdue, while pausing any automated nurture so the human conversation isn't stepped on.
