What is a Follow-up Plan?

 

A Follow-up Plan is a sequence of reminders and automatic emails that help you keep in touch with your contacts. Once you set up a Follow-up Plan, you will receive dashboard reminders to stay in touch. If you set up automated emails, these will go out with no required action on your part.

What is an Auto-assigned Follow-up Plan?
