Follow-up and reminders
Good follow-up mainly knows when to stop.
The right message at the wrong moment is still the wrong message.
Define the reason, timing, maximum reminder count and stop events. Any reply, refusal, urgency or sensitive situation must leave the automated flow.

Decide from real work
Design the exit before the first reminder.
A system without a stop rule quickly turns quiet help into noise. The customer’s response must always regain priority.- 01
Use a real example
Start with an actual enquiry or task, not an invented ideal case.
- 02
Check the need
Keep only what helps a person understand or act.
- 03
Choose the useful minimum
A small clear structure beats an inflated system.
