How follow-ups work

Gancho reminds you to nudge anyone who has not replied, and writes the nudge.

How it works

On a job's People tab, set someone to Messaged after you reach out.
Five days later, if they have not replied, they appear under Due now on the Follow-ups page. The red number in the sidebar counts what is due.
Click Draft follow-up for a ready-to-send nudge, They replied when they get back to you, or Remove to drop it.

Follow-ups & tasks: due now, this week, later

Drafting the nudge

Draft follow-up opens the job's People tab with a short follow-up already written. It is polite, specific and aware of what you sent the first time.

When they reply

Click They replied. The reminder goes, and their status becomes Replied.

Moving a reminder

Change the date on the row itself, or on the person in the People tab.

In the app

See Follow-ups on iPhone. It also sends you a notification on the day.
