How Update Lead Follow-Up Status works

5 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Read the New LeadRead the new form lead after your chosen delay. Check the inquiry and who owns the lead.
  2. Search Sent MailSearch the selected mailbox for messages to the lead's exact email address. Keep messages within your chosen lookback period.
  3. Find the First ReplyMatch sent messages to the inquiry. Mark a clear first reply Sent. Mark an empty search Not found and uncertain matches Verify.
  4. Update Lead StatusUpdate the lead's email and follow-up fields, saving confirmed reply details. Change its main status only under your chosen rule.
  5. Assign the Next TaskGive the lead owner a task for needed outreach or verification. Avoid a duplicate or new task after completed follow-up.

  • Select the lead web form and map its source, inquiry, email address, and owner into the CRM lead; subscribe to new-lead notifications.
  • Choose the team or shared sent mailbox that contains all channels used for initial email replies, and grant read access to its Sent Items.
  • Create first-email and personal-follow-up status fields on leads with Sent, Not found, and Verify for the first email, and First email needed, Personal follow-up needed, Done, and Verify for follow-up.
  • Set the lookback period, the brief delay after lead creation before checking sent mail, the task due date, the sales operations coordinator for exceptions, and the lead-status values that mean a person has already followed up.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Update Lead Follow-Up Status:

Which sent mailbox does this Agent check?

You choose a team or shared mailbox that holds initial replies. Messages sent elsewhere cannot appear in this check.

What happens when the email history is unclear?

Your lead shows Verify, and its owner gets a task to check the email history. If the lead has no owner, your chosen sales operations coordinator gets the task.

Will it change my main Zoho CRM lead status?

You choose which main lead status changes are safe. The Agent changes that status only when your rule allows it.

What if no sent reply turns up?

The first email field shows Not found after an empty mailbox search. The owner gets a first reply task unless the lead already shows completed follow-up.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
