How the 2-Way Speed-to-Lead Loop Works
Most direct mail is a black hole. Thanks.io turns physical postcards into instant Follow Up Boss speed-to-lead alerts.
Stage Triggered Mail
When a contact moves to 'Past Client', 'Cold', or matches a smart list, Follow Up Boss triggers Thanks.io to dispatch a personalized postcard, Golden Letter, or gift card with CASS address cleansing.
Dynamic QR Scan
The recipient scans their unique tracking QR code on the postcard. The code automatically redirects them to your MLS market report or home valuation landing page with their address pre-filled.
Instant FUB Alert
Thanks.io immediately fires the scans.scan_update webhook into FUB. The contact is tagged #ThanksIO_QR_Scan and an urgent call task is created for the agent.
