How to Streamline Lead Communication with the Texting Betty Inbox App for Follow Up Boss

Managing client conversations efficiently can make or break your real estate business. If you’re using Texting Betty with Follow Up Boss, there’s a powerful inbox app feature that streamlines how you handle text messages, emails, and calls all in one place. Let’s walk through how this integration works and how you can leverage it to stay on top of your lead communication.

Accessing Your Texting Betty Messages in Follow Up Boss

The Texting Betty app maintains its familiar interface within Follow Up Boss, making the transition seamless. When new messages come in, you’ll find notifications under the bell icon, just like before. To view and respond to messages, simply click the reply button next to any notification.

Once inside your inbox, you’ll notice some valuable filtering options that help you focus on what matters most. The filter menu lets you choose which types of communication you want to see—whether that’s all messages (emails, text messages, calls, and Texting Betty messages) or just specific channels. This is particularly helpful when you’re dealing with high volumes of communication and need to prioritize text conversations.

Replying to leads is straightforward. You can either compose your own custom text message or save time by selecting from pre-built text templates. To add some personality to your responses, there’s an emoji insert feature that lets you choose the perfect icon to make your conversation feel more natural and engaging. Once you’re happy with your message, hit send and your reply goes out instantly.

Delegating Conversations Without Changing Lead Ownership

One standout feature is the ability to assign a conversation to another team member without changing who owns the lead. This is perfect for situations where you remain the assigned agent but need someone else to handle a specific conversation thread.

Here’s how it works: within any conversation, you can reassign it to another agent on your team. Once you confirm the assignment, that conversation disappears from your inbox and appears in the other agent’s notifications. When they click on the bell icon, they’ll see the conversation was assigned to them and can view the entire message history. They can then pick up the conversation seamlessly and continue communicating with the lead. If needed, they can always reassign it back to you or another team member.

Tracking Follow-Ups with Smart Lists

A common challenge in lead management is knowing when to follow up with someone who hasn’t responded to your last message. Texting Betty and Follow Up Boss solve this with smart lists that automatically track message timing.

To set this up, navigate to the People section and click “Add a filter” on the right side. You can create a filter called something like “Last Sent Inbox App Message” and set the criteria to “less than one day ago.” This shows you everyone you’ve reached out to within that timeframe.

To identify who hasn’t responded, add another filter for “Last Received Inbox App Message.” You can customize the time window—for example, checking if someone hasn’t responded in the last 10 minutes, one hour, or several days. If a lead appears in your “sent” list but not in your “received” list for your specified timeframe, you know it’s time to follow up.

This automated approach ensures no lead falls through the cracks and helps you maintain consistent communication without manually tracking every conversation.
