Never let a sent email die silently again
A Monday list of everything you sent that never got answered, so follow-ups go out while they still have a chance
- Runs while your laptop is closed
- Reports in Littlebird and by email
- Free plan includes 5 routines
Five of your emails from last week are still waiting on a reply.
- Dana Whitfield at Birdseed Brands, six days: you shared the revised proposal and asked whether the new scope works.
- Riley Parker at Perch & Partners, four days: you asked for the signed order form.
- Your team: three threads are open, and the oldest is your Q4 budget question to Sam Ortiz from Wednesday.
The problem
You sent the proposal Tuesday. It's now next Monday and you can't remember if they replied or if you're supposed to nudge. Multiply by thirty sent emails a week and the dropped ones are pure lost revenue.
Salespeople live and die by the follow-up, but the tracking of who owes a reply is the part nobody's brain holds.
What it does
This routine runs every Monday. It scans emails you sent that have gone three or more days without a reply and lists them with context: what you asked, who you're waiting on, and how long it's been.
Follow-ups become a Monday checklist instead of a memory gamble.
Try the prompt
Copy it into a new Littlebird routine, then set the days and times that fit your schedule
- Open Littlebird and go to Routines. Open the menu next to New Routine and choose Set up manually.
- Paste the prompt into Instructions, then set the days and time under Run.
- Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. You can pause or edit it anytime. Auto-pause is on by default and pauses it if reports go unread.
You can also choose Create with Littlebird and describe the routine in chat.
Every Monday flag all emails I sent that haven't gotten a reply in 3 or more days
Why make it a routine?
Skills are a good demo. You open a chat, paste in yesterday's context, and get a pretty solid answer exactly once.
Tomorrow you do the whole thing again: same paste, same wait. The skill does not know your meetings, your threads, or what changed since Monday.
This routine knows all of that before it runs. It fires on schedule and hands you the result where you already work.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the three-day window?
Yes. Say 'two days' or 'a week' in the prompt and it adjusts to your sales cycle.
What does the follow-up reminder cost?
It runs on Basic for free. Plus costs $17 per month billed annually or $20 monthly, and comes with a 14-day free trial.
Is my sales correspondence private?
Yes. Littlebird is independently audited for SOC 2 Type II and is GDPR and CCPA aligned. Your data is never sold or used for training, and you can delete it anytime.
Does it work for internal follow-ups too?
Absolutely. Point it at colleagues, clients, or both. The prompt is yours to shape.
Will Windows be supported?
It already is. Littlebird runs on Mac and Windows.
