No-show follow-up for real estate
Booking viewings takes a long thread of back-and-forth messages. For real estate agencies that's a common story, and it's what the no-show follow-up flow is for. Reaches out to people who missed their viewing and offers an easy way to rebook.
Why real estate agencies ask for this
Booking viewings takes a long thread of back-and-forth messages. It costs time every week, which is why real estate agencies ask for the no-show follow-up flow.
What it looks like in practice
Picture a small lettings agency managing around a hundred rentals. A buyer doesn't turn up for their viewing. That afternoon they get a friendly message with a link to rebook. They pick a new time and it appears in Google Calendar.
How it works for real estate
Once the no-show follow-up flow is running for a small lettings agency managing around a hundred rentals, this is the sequence.
- A viewing is marked as a no-show in Google Calendar.
- A kind message goes out that day.
- It includes a link to rebook.
- If there's no reply, one more message follows.
- You see who rebooked.
Tools it connects to
You keep working in Google Calendar. The no-show follow-up flow sits alongside, built with Twilio, WhatsApp Business API and n8n.
Questions from real estate agencies
Does the no-show follow-up flow work with Google Calendar?
Often, yes. Before building the no-show follow-up flow I check your Google Calendar account and plan, because some features depend on API access. If there's a gap for your real estate setup, you'll know before you pay anything.
What happens if something breaks?
The no-show follow-up flow sends you an alert when a step fails, so it never fails quietly in the middle of a busy week. You can fix small things with the notes I leave, or add the care plan at $49 a month and I'll handle it.
How long does it take to set up for real estate agencies?
Plan on 2 to 4 days from the day I get access to your accounts. Most of that is testing with your real viewings and messages, so nothing goes live until it behaves the way you want.
