Follow up on unanswered emails · 0:31

Personal routine — runs for you alone, in your own Lindy. It tracks the mail you sent, not your team’s. Routines that run for the whole team are Workspace routines.

​
Chase the Replies You’re Owed

Follow-up bumps is a built-in routine that tracks the emails you’ve sent and, if one gets no reply, drafts a bump for you to review. You keep the final say before anything sends.

​
Before you start

  • A connected Gmail or Outlook inbox.
  • A plan with Assistant features.
  • Not turned off by your workspace admin. If it is, the card shows Disabled by admin.

​
Turn it on

1

Open the routine

Go to the Routines page. On the Personal tab, find the Follow-up bumps card (“Drafts a bump when sent emails get no reply”) and click it to open its drawer.
2

Flip it on

Use the enable switch. While the routine is off, its settings are greyed out.

​
Set the timing

Set Draft follow-ups after to Never, 1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 days. If a sent email gets no reply in that window, Lindy drafts a bump and saves it to your drafts for review. This routine is independent of Email drafting, so you can run one without the other.

​
Connect another inbox

At the top of the drawer, each connected inbox shows as a chip, with a + Add account button beside them. Click + Add account, choose Google or Outlook, and follow the prompts to link another inbox. Settings are per-account, so pick the chip first, then set the timing.
Looking for post-meeting follow-ups? That’s part of the Meeting Recording routine. See Meetings.
