Follow Up Automatically on Quotes That Go Unanswered
An n8n workflow that watches sent quotes and, when one gets no response after a few days, sends a gentle follow-up and flags the rep — so warm deals don't quietly die because everyone got busy after the quote went out.

Frequently asked questions
How does it know a quote is unanswered?
Quotes are tracked with a sent date and a status. The daily check finds quotes still in 'sent' (not accepted, declined or invoiced) past your follow-up window. Those are the ones that slipped through the cracks.
Won't following up feel pushy?
A single, friendly 'just checking you got this and answering any questions' note is expected and appreciated in B2B. Most non-responses are simply forgetfulness, not rejection — a nudge recovers a surprising share of them.
