Open house visitors who make it into Follow Up Boss

Paper sign-in sheets collect fake names and unreadable emails, and someone has to type them in on Monday. With Textiful, visitors sign in by text from their own phone and land in your CRM before they leave the driveway.

  • Your action plans start right away

    Sending each visitor as an inquiry lets Follow Up Boss match or create the person and run the action plan you set for open houses.

  • A keyword or a QR code

    Say “text DEMO to 33777” from the front of the room, or put a QR code where people can scan it. Either one starts your capture flow.

  • Ask what matters to you

    A capture flow asks whether they’re working with an agent, when they plan to move, or if they need to sell first.

The Follow Up Boss action to use

Your Zap has two steps: Textiful’s New Contact trigger, then Follow Up Boss’s New Inquiry or Website Event action. Here’s every field Zapier shows for that action, and what to put in each one.

1. Trigger

Textiful: New Contact

Runs when someone finishes the capture flow you pick.

  • Campaign NameRequiredYour capture flow

Always sent

Email, First name, Last name, Mobile number, Keyword (empty for a QR code scan), Number texted, Flow name and ID, Time they finished

Sent when your flow asks

Zip, City, State, Time zone, Company, Birthdate and age, Your custom fields, Poll answers

Each answer arrives as its own field you can map.

2. Action

Follow Up Boss: New Inquiry or Website Event

Notify Follow Up Boss when a new inquiry is received or an event on your website happens. For example, someone inquiries about a property, views or saves property as a favorite, an IDX registration or contact form. This will trigger action plans if a new lead is created from the event.
