Mail Drips

Overview

Within this section in CRM, you will need to setup various scheduled Mail Drips that will go out to your leads.  These Mail Drips will be sent automatically from your CRM to the applicable leads, based on their Contact Group, Staff, and Status assignments.

Mail Drip Details:

Active: You will need to check this box in order to enable your Mail Drip, so that it can go out to the applicable leads / contacts in your CRM.

Type: Allows you to specify the type of Mail Drip in which you are setting up.  You will need to select the "Listings" option if your Mail Drip uses the {initialPropList} or {homeScoutPropList} Tokens.  For all other Mail Drips that are text based only and do not contain listing data, you will need to select the "Other" option.

Schedule Based On: Allows you to define the scheduling of this Mail Drip.  You will need to select the "Date Created" option if you would like this Mail Drip to be sent to applicable leads / contacts in your CRM, based on the date in which they were initially entered into your CRM.  You can also select the "Date Group Assigned" option instead if you would like this Mail Drip to be sent to applicable leads / contacts in your CRM, based on the date in which they were assigned to a specific Contact Group in your CRM.  Please note that for new leads, the "Date Created" and "Date Group Assigned" dates will be the same initially.  Also, the "Date Created" date will never change for any of your leads / contacts, whereas the "Date Group Assigned" date can change over time if any leads / contacts are moved to other Contact Groups within your CRM.

Send To: Allows you to specify which applicable leads / contacts should receive this Mail Drip.  You will need to select the "All Contacts" option if you would like this Mail Drip to be sent to all applicable leads / contacts, regardless of the date in which they were initially entered into your CRM.  Otherwise, you can select the "New Contacts" option and specify a "New Create Date", if you would like this Mail Drip to only be sent to all applicable leads / contacts entered in your CRM, as of the "New Create Date" that you specified. 

Drip Name: The name of your Mail Drip (ie: Welcome Email).
