Wedding & Events snapshot walkthrough

A guided tour of every pipeline, form and automation, with the actual messages your client’s customers will receive.

1 · The big picture

How a lead flows through the system

  1. Capture: the quote form, a missed call or an imported list starts a workflow.
  2. Respond in seconds: SMS and email go out instantly and the team gets an alert.
  3. Book: the Tour & Consultation calendar confirms and reminds automatically.
  4. Close: estimates and proposals get a 13-day follow-up so nothing slips.
  5. Deliver and delight: the Customer Journey pipeline handles feedback, reviews and referrals.
  6. Reactivate: past customers come back through service-due, seasonal and niche campaigns.
