What you get

Follow Up Boss, working for your team

Every new chat becomes a lead

New conversations from your website chat, WhatsApp, SMS and other inboxes reach Follow Up Boss as leads, so your lead flow and action plans run.

Requests that Fynn takes

Fynn collects what a buyer, seller or renter asks for, checks the details with them and passes them on after their yes.

Stage and agent next to the chat

The linked person's stage, agent, lender, source, tags and price, read live from Follow Up Boss, with a link to open the person there.

Notes and tasks from Deskwoot

A resolved conversation goes to the person as a note, and your team adds notes and tasks without leaving Deskwoot.

How to connect

Ready in 4 steps

  1. Have the login of the Follow Up Boss account owner or an admin ready. An agent or lender login sees only its own leads, so Deskwoot cannot use it.
  2. In Deskwoot, open Settings → Integrations, click the Follow Up Boss card and then Connect Follow Up Boss.
  3. Sign in to Follow Up Boss with that login and allow Deskwoot. You come back to the Follow Up Boss page in Deskwoot.
  4. Check which inboxes send new leads, the lead source name and the tag, then the switch under What Fynn does with Follow Up Boss, and click Save.

Summary

Follow Up Boss in detail

Leads from portals and your website forms often land in Follow Up Boss by themselves, where your lead flow assigns them and your action plans start. A question on WhatsApp or in your website chat does not. Someone types it in by hand later, and by then the buyer may already be talking to another agent.

Deskwoot sends each new conversation to Follow Up Boss as a lead 3 minutes after the customer's first message, so the lead holds more of what they wrote. It needs an email address or phone number, and without one within 24 hours nothing is sent. Spam, blocked contacts, group chats and automatic replies are skipped, and email inboxes stay out unless you choose them, because they also get newsletters and vendor mail. Each lead comes in under the lead source and tag you set, Deskwoot by default.

Each lead goes in through Follow Up Boss's own way in for new leads: a Property Inquiry when it names a home, a Seller Inquiry for someone who wants to sell, and a General Inquiry otherwise. It carries the customer's name, email address and phone number, their request in their own words, the channel and a link to the conversation that only your team can open. Follow Up Boss finds the person by email address and phone number, so someone who is already there gets no second record.

When someone wants to buy, sell, rent or see a home, Fynn asks only for what an agent needs: the home or what they look for, the budget, the timing and a phone number or email. He repeats the details, asks if they are right and passes them on only after the customer's yes. When the new conversation's lead has not gone out yet, his request takes its place, so Follow Up Boss gets one lead, not 2. He never names an agent, a date or a time, never says a showing is booked and never reads anything from Follow Up Boss.

Your team sees the linked person next to each conversation, with stage, agent, lender, source, tags, last activity and price, read live from Follow Up Boss and never stored. From there they open the person in Follow Up Boss, send a lead, or add a note or a task. When a conversation is resolved, the messages the customer saw go to the person as a note, never your internal notes, and a task for the agent when Fynn hands a chat to your team is one switch away. Follow Up Boss is in beta, and your team uses it on every plan, the Free plan included. What Fynn does with it comes with every paid plan and the 7 day trial.

QUESTIONS

FAQs

Which conversations become leads in Follow Up Boss?

Each new conversation a customer starts, 3 minutes after their first message, once it has an email address or phone number. Without a choice every inbox sends except email inboxes, and spam, blocked contacts, group chats and automatic replies never do. You can turn it off or pick the inboxes.

Does a customer get a second record in Follow Up Boss?

No. Follow Up Boss finds the person by email address and phone number and adds the lead to them. Only someone it does not know becomes a new person, and your lead flow assigns the agent.

Does Fynn book showings in Follow Up Boss?

No. He passes on the showing request with the times the customer named, and your agent agrees the time. He never says a showing is booked.

Can I connect with an agent login?

No. An agent or lender login sees only its own leads, so Deskwoot could not find most people. Connect with the account owner or an admin.

Does Deskwoot keep a copy of my leads?

No. Deskwoot reads a person's details while your team looks at them and keeps only which person in Follow Up Boss belongs to which contact, plus a short record of what it sent for 90 days.

What does it cost?

Deskwoot charges nothing extra for the connection, and it works on every plan, the Free plan included. What Fynn does with it comes with every paid plan, and the 7 day trial includes it.

What does beta mean here?

The connection to Follow Up Boss is new, so details can still change. If something does not work the way you expect, write to hello@deskwoot.com.
