  • From the Dashboard widget “Workflow Summary LSR” / ASR, click on the dynamic number in blue next to the workflow step.Creating a Widget for every workflow step
  • It shows you the leads that have reached that step.
  • Go ahead and save this query / Smartlist.

Launching bulk text sequences

Launching bulk text sequences is sending a series of texts automatically to a group of recipients all at once, using an automated messaging system.

You can also send a text sequence to a bulk import list. A text sequence is an efficient way to automate a time-consuming process. And it can be set up to be triggered or sent at the designated time or interval.

Launching text sequences to ALL leads

  • Click on Bulk Text Sequence on the top right.

  • And hit Launch Bulk Text Sequence

An alert pops up to show the number of leads included in this sequence and that have no phone numbers. Click on the number to see those leads.

Launching bulk text sequences to a group of leads

  • Click on Bulk Text Sequence on the top right

  • Select the Text Sequence

  • And hit Launch Bulk Text Sequence

An alert pops up to show the number of leads included in this sequence and that have no phone numbers. Click on the number to see those leads.

You can also launch sequences to a single lead from the lead view and track it.

Tracking a text sequence

After launching your text sequence, you can check its status in the Dashboard Widget “Bulk Sequences”.

Expired Text sequences

The in-queue text sequences expire if they were not sent for over 36 hours past the intended launch time of the sequence step.

Stopping a text sequence

From the Dashboard widget “Bulk Sequences”, you can also stop sending the text sequence only if the sequence delay setup is of 1 or more days.

You can also stop a sequence for a single lead from the “Active Text Sequence” in the lead view. This does not affect the sequence. It only stops sending it to this specific lead.

aNinja Smartlist multiple queries

With aNinja Smartlist multiple queries, you can group leads from your CRM the way that fits your daily routine. This is a task that you do once and that executes when needed.

For example, how helpful is it for salespersons to know, on daily basis, the new leads that they have not yet contacted!

So, a Smartlist brings this data, and salesman can kick off the day with no additional tasks.

Basically, you can create a Smartlist with one or multiple queries.

As a matter of fact, multiple queries behave the same, as if you executed each query separately.

Samples aNinja Smartlist multiple queries

  • Leads with Boston city AND that sent in emails on a specific date:
    • address.city=”Boston” AND email.incoming.date=”2021-02-27″

  • Leads with Boston Address and Leads with LA address
    • address.city=”Boston” OR address.city=”LA”

  • Any contact name starting with “Jo”:
    • contact.name=”Jo*”

  • Emails that were created between 2 dates:
    • email.date >= “2021-02-21” AND email.date <= “2021-03-01”

  • Leads with tasks that are not done AND have custom field source set to “Facebook”:
    • task.count.not_done >= 1 AND Custom.Source=”Facebook”

  • Leads created after April 2nd 2021:
    • lead.created >= “2021-04-02”

  • All Leads that are not in a workflow:
    • search.leads.not_in_workflow=true

  • Not in workflow AND not a customer (custom field)
    • search.leads.not_in_workflow=true AND Custom.isCustomer!=yes

aNinja Smartlist

aNinja Smartlist is a saved query that you can reuse as a list in your Dashboard while navigating through leads. As well, you can target this list of leads in email or text sequences.

Basically, this allows you to easily bulk email / bulk text in sequence. Or simply create Smart Views for the actions required and run through them as your daily to-do list.

Moreover, if you add new leads to your account and they match the query filtering parameters, they will automatically show up on the Smartlist results.

But, if a bulk sequence is already triggered or launched, it will not add new leads to it. Neither changing lead info after creating a sequence does affect the bulk sequence.
