Action Plan

What Is an Action Plan?

An Action Plan is an automated workflow that performs predefined actions for assigned leads over a specified period of time.

Action Plans help automate follow-up activities such as:

  • Sending emails

  • Sending SMS messages

  • Adding tags

  • Removing tags

  • Changing stages

  • Creating notes

  • Assigning other Action Plans

Once assigned, the Action Plan automatically executes each step according to the configured schedule.

Action Plans can be assigned to:

  • Individual leads

  • Tags

  • Stages

  • Sources

This helps automate lead nurturing and follow-up processes at scale.
