Spent today going from concept to production. Everything's automated. Zero manual work after setup. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE PROBLEM I SOLVED: Real estate agents lose 80% of leads because they don't follow up consistently. Manual follow-ups don't scale. CRMs are expensive and overcomplicated. I needed something simple that just works. So I built it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE SYSTEM (4 MODULES): MODULE 1: LEAD INTAKE ✅ - Webhook captures leads from any source - Auto-calculates Day 1, 3, 7 follow-up dates - Sends immediate welcome message - Adds to Google Sheets pipeline - Takes <5 seconds start to finish MODULE 2: DAILY FOLLOW-UP SENDER ✅ - Runs automatically every morning at 9 AM - Scans entire pipeline for leads due TODAY - Sends personalized Day 1, 3, or 7 follow-up emails - Updates tracking in real-time (no duplicates) - Handles unlimited leads in one workflow MODULE 3: STATUS UPDATER ✅ - Built into Module 2 (runs right after follow-ups) - Checks which leads finished all 3 follow-ups - Auto-updates status from "active" → "completed" - Keeps pipeline clean without manual work - Zero leads slip through the cracks MODULE 4: DAILY REPORTING ✅ - Runs at 10 AM (after follow-ups finish) - Calculates full pipeline metrics - Sends beautiful HTML report to my inbox - Shows: new leads, follow-ups sent, completions, bottlenecks - Takes 30 seconds to review each morning ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN ACTION: TEST RUN TODAY: - Added 2 test leads to system - Both needed Day 1 follow-ups - Workflow found them automatically - Sent 2 personalized emails in 3 seconds - Updated Google Sheet tracking - Generated daily report with all metrics Everything worked perfectly. First try. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE STACK: - n8n (workflow automation) - FREE self-hosted - Google Sheets (database) - FREE - Gmail (email delivery) - FREE - Zero external APIs - Zero monthly costs Total cost: $0/month ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY NO AI FOR FOLLOW-UPS?
