How to Use FollowUpThen

FollowUpThen requires no account to get started!

Just compose an email and include [schedule format]@followupthen.com in the "Cc", "Bcc" or "To" fields of your email. Each is a bit different:

• CC: If your recipient has not responded by the scheduled time, both of you receive a followup. Note: Your recipient has to “reply all” to include followupthen on their response for us to know about it. You can always cancel followups by emailing pending@followupthen.com.
• BCC: Only you (not the recipient) will receive a followup, regardless of reply.
• TO: You will get a reminder after the time interval you specify.
