Updated this week

Overview

Required Subscriptions: Follow up email can be enabled on free and paid plans, but only Pro, Pro+, and Teams can customize them.

When follow up email is turned on, both the new lead and the Popl user receive an introductory email after connecting.


You can customize this intro message anytime from your Popl Dashboard to match your tone and goals.

You can toggle the follow up email on or off in the settings of the mobile Popl app.

You cannot edit the follow up email in the mobile app, only the dashboard.

Note: If follow up email is turned off, only the new lead will get an email with the Popl user’s digital business card.


Features

Easily customize the timing and tone of your follow up emails - adjust the cadence to fit your workflow and keep leads engaged your way.

Schedule a delay

By default, the email is sent immediately upon lead capture without delay.

You can choose if you'd like to send the follow up email upon connection, or set a scheduled delay. You can set it by hours and/or minutes.

Keep in mind: This can be set in individual profiles, templates, and campaigns.

Email recipients

When turned on, the follow up email will be sent to each new lead as well as the Popl user's email. Choose to add Cc or Bcc recipients.

The email will be sent to any added recipients each time a new connection is made.

Message body

A default message is provided to get you started. You can customize the wording to match your business tone or personal style.*


Feel free to add or remove variables to personalize your message.

Available variables include:

  • Lead’s first name

  • Lead’s full name

  • Your digital business card URL

  • Your (Popl user’s) name

Tailor the message to make every follow up feel personal and impactful.

Adding attachments

You can include attachments in your follow-up emails.

Attachments are a great way to provide extra value, like PDFs, brochures, or custom content.

Keep in mind: This can be set either through a template or directly from a member’s profile.

To add an attachment:

  1. Go to the Follow Up Email tab

  2. Click "Add attachment" or drag and drop your file

  3. Click "Update" to save your changes

Note: The maximum size for the attachment is 30 MB.

After customizing your follow up email, you can preview it on the right side of the screen to see how it will look.
