FollowUpThen

FollowUpThen is an email reminder service that works through ordinary email addresses. To set a reminder, a user forwards or sends an email to an address that puts a date or time before the @ sign, such as a day name or a number of weeks, and the service sends the message back at that moment. Nothing needs to be installed, it works from any email client on any device, and no inbox connection is required. The vendor says it has operated for more than a decade. The to, cc and bcc fields control whether a reminder is private or shared with a group. It is aimed at individuals and teams who track follow ups, such as sales and client work. Optional add ons called Skills extend it: response detection cancels a reminder when a reply arrives, auto cancel stops follow ups on the same thread, and other Skills cover recurring and persistent reminders, spaced repetition, SMS notifications, a Google Calendar feed, a list of upcoming follow ups, autocomplete and a Zapier connection to other apps. Sign in is offered with Google or Office 365. Pricing is published. The Free plan costs $0 per month and allows 50 active reminders per month. The Base plan costs $4 per month and adds unlimited follow ups, recurring follow ups, attachments, a calendar feed, email based actions and the option to buy premium Skills. The Team plan costs $4 per user per month, with centralized billing, per member Skill budgets and team data ownership.
