In the fast-paced world of digital marketing and lead generation, staying ahead of the curve requires innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate into your workflow.
Heyflow simplifies this automation process by providing a diverse range of response handlers and integrations. From native integrations like HubSpot or Salesforce to the innovative Agency Portal and the utilization of webhooks, Heyflow has you covered!
This article delves into the intricacies of automation and follow-up, explaining the importance of setting up a fully automated workflow where lead data securely lands in the response handler of your choice.
Response Handlers
In Heyflow, the concept of "Response Handlers" is fundamental to extending the platform’s functionality beyond form submissions. Response handlers not only gather data but also enable users to view and work with information in a structured manner.
From simple email notifications to integrations with tools like Google Sheets or even sophisticated CRMs such as HubSpot, Response Handlers facilitate seamless data flow. This structured data becomes a catalyst for automation, empowering users to streamline processes and enhance their lead generation workflows efficiently.
When it comes to response handlers and their integration with Heyflow, we can distinguish between four major scenarios:
Let’s take a look at each of these.
Native integrations for Effortless Connectivity
Heyflow's user-friendly approach to automation begins with its native integrations. With just a few clicks in the "Integrate" tab, users can effortlessly connect Heyflow with popular third-party tools such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, Recruitee and Pipedrive.
This streamlined process allows for quick and easy mapping of Heyflow fields to those in the third-party tools, eliminating the need for manual data entry and minimizing the risk of errors.
Unveiling the "Agency Portal"
Heyflow goes beyond conventional CRM integrations with its own native Agency Portal, a mini-CRM tool developed in-house.
By having a personalized design, your exclusive domain, and a distinctive logo, you not only present a professional image to your clients but also set yourself apart from other agencies while maintaining GDPR compliance, eliminating the necessity for external tools like Google Sheets. Once you establish an Agency Portal, you can promptly invite your clients as well.

Extending Integration Capabilities with Zapier and Make
For users leveraging CRM tools outside Heyflow's native integrations, the platform seamlessly extends its capabilities through popular automation apps like Zapier and Make, making automation simple and fast and connect to over 5,000 tools.
Unleashing the Power of Hooks
Recognizing the diversity of CRM systems in the market, Heyflow introduces its powerful Hooks feature. When dealing with in-house built systems or CRM tools not covered by our native integrations, nor Zapier or Make, Hooks come to the rescue. By enabling users to connect a webhook, Heyflow ensures that automation remains a reality, offering flexibility and customization in managing leads effectively.

Follow Up
Prompt and effective follow-up is crucial in converting leads and applicants into valued customers. The speed of your response can significantly impact the lead's perception of your business and influence their decision-making process.
Here's why swift follow-up matters:
Strike While the Iron is Hot: A quick follow-up demonstrates your eagerness and responsiveness, capitalizing on the lead's current interest and engagement. The longer the delay, the higher the chance of losing their attention and interest.
Build Trust and Credibility: Timely responses convey reliability and professionalism, fostering trust with your leads. It reflects a commitment to customer satisfaction and sets a positive tone for future interactions.
Outshine the Competition: In a competitive market, a speedy response can set you apart from competitors. It gives the impression that you value your leads' time and are dedicated to meeting their needs promptly.
Methods of Follow-Up
Phone Calls: Personalized phone calls provide a direct and immediate way to connect with leads. They allow for real-time conversation, addressing queries, and building a rapport.
Emails: Use emails for a more formal and detailed follow-up. Include relevant information, resources, and a clear call-to-action. Heyflow's email replies feature simplifies this process, allowing you to send personalized and automated follow-up emails tailored to your leads' interactions.
Dynamic Ad Retargeting: Leverage the power of retargeting in digital advertising. If a user clicks on an ad, ensure that relevant follow-up ads are strategically displayed. This reinforces your brand and keeps your offerings top-of-mind.
Custom Auto Replies Feature
In terms of follow-up, Heyflow has you covered!
The Custom Auto Replies feature is a robust and user-friendly tool designed to automatically dispatch personalized email responses to your users following their interaction with your Heyflow. Using these follow-up emails proves to be an effective method for gently reminding leads or applicants of their response, providing additional information, or guiding them through the next steps.
Furthermore, the Custom Auto Replies feature also offers the unique advantage of complete white-labeling. Users can incorporate their own logo, tailor the content to match their brand identity, and enhance the overall personalized experience for recipients. Additionally, with our new SMTP feature, these emails can be sent directly from the user's own email address, eliminating the impersonal "no-reply" sender, thereby enhancing the authenticity and engagement of your automated follow-up communication.
