Quote unanswered for 3 days → one follow-up, automatic

The problem

Quotes get sent and forgotten. The client meant to reply, the consultant meant to check, and two weeks later both are embarrassed to bring it up. A good share of quotes die of silence, not of "no".

What happens when it runs

1. Schedule: every morning 09:00
2. Read the quotes sheet: status "sent" and sent date older than 3 days
3. A short follow-up email to the client — one sentence, one question
4. Update the status to "followed up" and alert Telegram with name and amount

Before you start

Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:

• The quotes spreadsheet id
• Columns: client, email, amount, sent date, status
• The follow-up wording
• Chat ID

Sheet templates

The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.

How to import (2 minutes)

1. In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
2. At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
3. Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
4. Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
5. Run once with a test row in the sheet. Only when it passes — Schedule and ON
