Automation is the secret to consistent, timely, and relevant communication. With SMSLeopard, you can set up messages to send automatically—whether it’s a welcome note for a new customer, a reminder for an appointment, or a follow-up survey. This not only saves time but also enhances customer engagement without constant manual effort.
🤖 Why Automate Your Messaging?
Manual messaging is time-consuming and prone to error. Automation ensures:
Consistency: Every customer gets the right message at the right time.
Timeliness: Immediate follow-ups when users take action.
Efficiency: Reduces manual tasks, freeing up your team.
With SMSLeopard, you can easily automate messages based on triggers or schedule them in advance.
🔁 Trigger-Based Messaging
A "trigger" is an action or condition that sets off an automatic message. SMSLeopard allows you to define these triggers using data or behavior. Examples include:
A new contact is added to a list
A user signs up via a web form
A customer completes a purchase
A scheduled date (e.g., birthday, renewal reminder)
How to Set It Up:
Go to your SMSLeopard dashboard.
Select "Automation" from the menu.
Choose your trigger event (e.g., new contact added).
Create your message template.
Define the audience and save.
📅 Scheduled Messaging
Scheduled messaging is perfect when you know ahead of time what needs to be sent and when.
Use cases:
Event or sale announcements
Birthday or anniversary greetings
Regular tips, check-ins, or updates
How to Schedule a Message:
Upload your contact list.
Compose your message.
Choose "Schedule for Later."
Set date and time.
Click send. SMSLeopard will do the rest.
💡 Combine Automation with Personalization
Make your automated messages feel personal:
Use contact variables like
{FirstName}or{ProductName}Segment users into targeted groups
Tailor messages based on behavior (e.g., follow-up only if no reply)
📈 Measure and Optimize
Check your campaign reports to see:
Which automated flows perform best
