What are Drip Campaigns?
A drip campaign is a pre-written sequence of email and SMS messages that goes out automatically over days or weeks. The right drip turns one-time jobs into repeat work, recovers cold leads, and asks for reviews while the job is fresh — without you drafting anything.
Drip campaigns live at CRM → Drip Campaigns and are a Business-plan feature.
Why use them
- Set it once — no daily inbox drafting
- Hit the timing right — review request the day after a job, a nudge two days after a quote
- Convert on autopilot — many customers reply to the second or third message, not the first
How a campaign is built
- A trigger that enrolls customers
- A sequence of steps — each an email or SMS, with a delay before it sends
- A status — Draft, Active, Paused, or Archived. Only Active campaigns send.
Triggers
Five trigger events enroll customers:
- When a job is completed
- When a quote is sent
- When an invoice is paid
- When a customer is added
- Manual — you enroll customers yourself
Channels
Each step is Email or SMS — you choose per step. Email steps have a subject line; SMS steps are body-only.
Personalization (merge tags)
Insert dynamic values into any message:
{{customer.first_name}}{{customer.name}}{{customer.email}}{{org.name}}{{review_url}}
Get started fast
You don't have to write from scratch — start from a built-in template (Post-Job Review Request, Quote Follow-up, Win-back, and more). See Pre-Built Campaign Library.
