Salesforce SMS Automation
Streamline your lead response process by connecting ActiveCampaign and D7 SMS. Deliver an instant welcome message, collect feedback, and trigger next steps all without lifting a finger.
Problem This Workflow Solves
When a new enterprise lead enters your CRM, every minute counts. Manual follow-ups lead to missed opportunities, delayed responses, and inconsistent communication. This workflow ensures that every new lead receives a timely, personalized welcome and that your team is automatically notified to take the right action next.
How the Workflow Operates
The workflow begins the moment a new lead or opportunity is created or updated in your CRM. ActiveCampaign instantly creates or updates the contact record, applies the right tag, and launches an automation that sends a personal SMS message through D7. The system then waits for the lead’s reply. Based on their response, the workflow either opens a new deal or task for your sales team or continues with an automated nurture sequence all designed to drive engagement and conversion, your primary KPI.
