Common questions
Can I use these templates for free?
Yes, copy and use them however you like.
How long should I wait before following up?
Two to three days after a proposal, and about a week after no reply to a first message, is a good starting point.
How many follow-ups is too many?
Two or three, then close the loop politely (template 8).
Can I send these on WhatsApp?
Yes. On WhatsApp Business, a free-form reply needs the customer to have messaged you within the last 24 hours. See our 24-hour window guide.
Should a proposal include the price?
Yes. Clear pricing in the proposal saves a round of messages.
Can Onevyu send these automatically?
No. You choose when to send. Onevyu reminds you when a follow-up is due.
