Creating An Action Plan

Creating An Action Plan

🚀 Mastering Action Plans in ClientBAY

Action Plans are your secret weapon for staying organized. They allow you to attach a curated series of events, automated emails, and follow-up requests to your Contacts, Leads, and Listings.

Think of it as your personal assistant—ensuring nothing falls through the cracks! 


🛠️ Getting Started: The Action Plan Dashboard

  1. Navigate: On the left-hand menu, go to Automated Follow UpAction Plans.

  2. The Dashboard: This is your command center. Here you can add, edit, duplicate, or delete any plan. 🖥️

  3. Create: * If it’s your first time, click the green Create Action Plan button.

    • Otherwise, click the + NEW button in the top-right corner.

  4. Define Your Plan:

    • Name: Give it a clear title (e.g., "New Lead Warm-up").

    • Type: Select Contacts/Leads (for people) or Listings (for properties).

  5. Save: Hit Save in the upper right to begin adding items. 💾


➕ Adding Action Items

Once your plan is created, click the + Icon in the Items box to start adding individual tasks.

📧 1. Adding Automatic Emails

These are sent on your behalf automatically. Perfect for "set it and forget it" marketing!

  • Setup: Name your item and add a compelling Subject Line.

  • Timing: Choose the number of days until the email sends.

    • Tip: Setting this to 0 sends it immediately. Use the "Send After" box to add a short delay so it feels more personal!

  • Sender: Choose "System/You." ⚠️ Note: If you are on a team and send as the "Agent," the email will come from the assigned agent, not the team owner.

  • Content: Click the Magnifying Glass 🔍 to pick from your custom templates or company-provided content.



📞 2. Adding a Follow-Up Request

Use this for manual tasks like phone calls, texts, or ordering yard signs.

  • Description: Add details on exactly what needs to be done.

  • Required: If checked, you cannot dismiss the item until it is marked complete. ✅

  • Repeat: Set a frequency if this is a recurring task (like a monthly check-in).




✉️ 3. Adding to a Campaign

Automatically enroll contacts into a larger "Drip Campaign."

  • Selection: Use the dropdown menu to choose from your personal, company, or "Back at You" pre-built campaigns. 🌊





📊 4. Sending a Survey

Gather feedback automatically by selecting from your active surveys in the dropdown menu.


🏠 Listing-Specific Actions

When creating a Listing Action Plan, you have access to exclusive items like:

  • Order Marketing Materials, Social Share, Add Seller, Seller Reports, Showing Preferences, and Video/Virtual Tours.

👁️ The "Visible to Seller" Feature

In Listing Plans, you can choose if an item is visible in the Seller Portal

  • Select YES: The seller can see the task and its status (Pending/Completed). This is a fantastic way to show your value and keep them updated on your hard work! 🤝

  • Select NO: The item stays private to you and your team.

⚙️ Automating Your Workflow (Default Plans)

You can set ClientBAY to automatically attach an Action Plan the moment a new lead or listing enters the system. 

  1. Click your Account (top right) ➔ View Profile.

  2. Select the Preferences tab.

  3. Scroll to Default Action Plans and select your desired plans.

  4. Click Save. 🖱️

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: If you set a "New Lead Action Plan," it will automatically attach to EVERY new lead that enters your CRM. Ensure the content is broad enough to apply to everyone
