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:
- BCC: You will receive a followup but we won't bug the original recipient.
- TO: You will get a followup after the time interval you specify.
- 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.
