Booked is the start of welcome, docs, and loan — not a grave

Booked starts welcome, document collection, and loan kickoff on WhatsApp and email, not a dead closed column. GrowthLoop’s last bar is Bookings won (token paid · loan-in-progress). Your CRM still needs a living stage so construction and disbursal have somewhere to go. This is not the loan-status playbook and not a Closed synonym from the library Site-visit blitz (New inquiry → … → Closed).

  • Welcome + docs
  • Loan file opens
  • Then disbursal or construction

Closed columns hide loan files and angry booked buyers

If Booked means “sales is done,” disbursal stalls with nobody on the hook. Growth demo follow-up already says weekly construction on email after booking confirmed — that is SES, not another WhatsApp marketing blast, and not smart send-time. NRI desks need email for attachments. Do not run a launch teaser to booked customers. Do not say autonomous tasks watch “booking confirmed” as success; they watch sends and reads.

From token to a living after-sales Booking

Channel hops shift toward email for files, WhatsApp for short status, voice if the file sticks.

  1. Welcome Conversation agent or drip with knowledge pack. Wallet for WhatsApp.
  2. Docs Email (SES) for scans. NRI collection playbook if overseas.
  3. Loan kickoff Move toward Loan disbursal when the file exists, or keep a sub-status via custom properties.
  4. Construction fork If inventory is under construction, start the construction cadence rather than leaving them in Booked forever.

How it runs in CoPulse

Short conversation agent for welcome. Email drip for docs. Workflow on enter starts both. Autonomous is the wrong closer. Library templates for WhatsApp if the session is old.

Workflows

On enter: welcome send, create doc checklist custom properties, assign after-sales owner.

Email (SES)

KYC list, agreements. Warmup is not engagement-ordered.

WhatsApp

Short status. Templates outside 24h. Gupshup.

Growth drips

Welcome series you authored. Not adaptive nurture.

Operator setup

After-sales owner is a person on the Project. Wallet still pays messages.

Setup → Customers → Pipeline (Booked after token) → Workflows on enter → Channels email + WhatsApp → Library → Growth welcome drip.

Token Friday, KYC Monday, loan file named

Ops moves to Booked. Workflow sends welcome on WhatsApp (template if needed) and a SES KYC list. NRI buyer replies with passport pages on email; the same contact shows both in inbox. Custom property loan_file=open. Ops then moves to Loan disbursal or keeps Booked with that property — your convention. Construction updates wait until you enter that stage or start the construction playbook audience from this column.

Click-path: kanban Booked; Agents → Workflows; Growth drip; Customers activity timeline. Sibling loan-disbursal is the long close. Pricing: SES and WhatsApp on the Organization wallet, no seat fee for the after-sales owner. If the qualifier agent is still routed here, fix Agents → Router so booked buyers get after-sales, not BHK questions. Launch lists must exclude this column or they will get another teaser. Human handoff stays available when KYC pages are messy.

Booked is not Closed

Library “Closed” is a playbook funnel label. Keep Booked operational.

Stage Automation Human Channel hops Exit criteria
Booked Welcome, doc request KYC exceptions WhatsApp + email Loan open or construction start
Negotiation / token Nudge RM Inbox Token
Loan disbursal Status nudges Banker Email + WhatsApp + voice Disbursed
Construction / handover Milestones Possession Email Informed

Each is a playbook. None should nest under /booked/whatsapp.

Frequently asked questions

Closed vs Booked, and after-sales automation.

Can I just use Closed like the library playbook?

You can rename stages. If you bury loan and construction in Closed, nobody runs nudges.

Weekly construction from GrowthLoop?

That demo follow-up is email after booking confirmed. Wire SES and an audience; it is not auto-adaptive.

Autonomous welcome until docs complete?

Tasks count sends/reads. Use a drip plus inbox for missing pages.

WhatsApp for PDFs?

Possible, but email is the honest hop for NRI packs. See the email overlay.

SMS KYC link?

Coming soon.

Workflow trigger?

Agents → Workflows on pipeline stage change when the Booking enters Booked.

Keep Booked as an operating column

Welcome, docs, and loan kickoff on enter — then fork to disbursal or construction instead of a dead Closed bin.
