Intake: Managing Follow-Up Reminders and Notes in Prospect Workflows

Learn how to use Follow-Up Reminders and General Notes in the Prospect Workflow tab to keep your intake team organized and ensure no prospect falls through the cracks.

This article walks you through two tools available in the Prospect Workflow tab that help your intake team stay organized, document internal activity, and ensure no prospect falls through the cracks — Follow-Up Reminders and General Notes.


Follow-Up Reminders

Setting a Reminder

Intake Administrators can set follow-up reminders directly on a prospect's Workflow screen to help track outstanding tasks and ensure timely outreach.

To add a reminder:

  1. Open the prospect's Workflow tab

  2. Click the Reminder (bell) icon

  3. Complete the required fields in the Add Reminder popup:

    • Reminder Date — Must be today's date or a future date

    • Assigned To — Search for and select a single user responsible for the follow-up

    • Reminder Note — Enter any relevant context or instructions (up to 5,000 characters)

  4. Click Save

Once saved, the reminder will appear at the top of the Workflow page, displaying the date, note, assigned user, and current status.


Understanding Reminder Status Colors

Reminder status colors update automatically each day based on how close the reminder date is:

  • 🟢 Green — Reminder is 16 or more days away

  • 🟠 Amber — Reminder is 8 to 15 days away

  • 🔴 Red — Reminder is 7 or fewer days away


Reminder Alerts

Two alert types are generated automatically to keep your team on track:

  • Pending Follow-Up — Created immediately when a reminder is saved

  • Overdue Follow-Up — Triggered automatically once the reminder date passes without the reminder being dismissed

The Reminder Alert list provides a centralized view of all active reminders across your team, displaying:

  • Prospect Name and ID

  • Location

  • Reminder Date

  • Note (first 2,000 characters, with full text visible on hover)

  • Assigned To

From the alert list, you can filter by Assigned To, Location, or Prospect Name, use the global search, or click Redirect to jump directly to the relevant prospect's Workflow tab. A Download option is also available to export the filtered results.


Dismissing a Reminder

Once a follow-up has been handled, click the Dismiss (X) option on the reminder at the top of the Workflow page. Dismissing a reminder hides it from view but does not delete the record. Note that the Dismiss action is access-controlled based on your role permissions.


General Notes

Adding a General Note

Users can add internal notes and supporting documents to a prospect's Workflow independently of any specific workflow step. This provides a centralized place for documentation that doesn't belong to a particular action or stage.

To add a General Note:

  1. Open the prospect's Workflow tab

  2. Click the General Notes icon

  3. Enter your note in the free-text field

  4. Optionally, attach a file by clicking the file upload option:

    • Select the Document Type (required)

    • The File Name and File Date will be auto-populated

    • Add an optional Tag if needed

    • Click Upload to attach the file, or Cancel to close without uploading

  5. Click Save — the note and any attachments are saved and the popup closes automatically


Viewing General Notes

Once saved, a new event is added to the Prospect Timeline for every General Note entry. Clicking the timeline event allows you to view the saved note and any attached documents at any time.

💡 Tip: General Notes are a great way to document context, conversations, or supporting information that isn't tied to a specific workflow step — keeping everything in one place for your whole team.
