NOTE: 

**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](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/teammate/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

### 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.

### 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](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/features/inbox-management/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.

TIP: 

Looking for post-meeting follow-ups? That’s part of the Meeting Recording routine. See [Meetings](https://www.lindy.ai/docs/teammate/meeting-library#post-meeting-follow-ups).
