Ringy Auto Appointments

Books a Ringy follow-up for every new lead, and for leads whose texts USHA temporarily blocked for do-not-call, automatically, from your own Ringy tab.

It never contacts a lead. No confirmation texts, no emails, no reminders, no automations. It only puts a follow-up on your calendar (and an optional tag on the lead). Nothing is booked until you run Test 1 lead and turn off Dry run.

What's new in v0.2.1

New "Leads from" boxes: book new leads, leads whose texts were "temporarily blocked by USHA due to do-not-call", or both in one run. Those leads get a follow-up and the "Auto Follow-up" tag automatically, replacing the manual select-all / disposition / filter routine. Only one Ringy tab books at a time (no double bookings with several tabs open), every tab shows the live Auto status, and settings stay in sync across tabs.

What it does

The routine you do by hand today, done for you in the background.

1

Finds the leads

New leads that just arrived, and leads whose text was rejected with "temporarily blocked by USHA due to do-not-call".

2

Schedules the follow-up

In the lead's own time zone, on a weekday, during business hours, never double-booked. Default: 10 years out.

3

Tags and checks

Adds the Auto Follow-up tag, then reads the follow-up back from Ringy to confirm it saved correctly.

Install (about 2 minutes)

One time only. After this, updates are announced right inside Ringy.

  1. Download and unzip

    Download the zip, then double-click it to unzip. Move the folder somewhere you'll keep it, like Documents. Chrome runs the extension from that folder, so don't delete it.

  2. Open Chrome's extensions page and turn on Developer mode

    Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter. Turn on Developer mode in the top right corner.

      chrome://extensions
    ExtensionsDeveloper mode

  3. Click "Load unpacked" and pick the folder

    Choose the unzipped folder (the one that contains manifest.json).

  4. Refresh Ringy

    Open or refresh app.ringy.com. A purple Auto Appts button appears in the bottom right corner.

    Purple Auto Appts status button
    The button also shows live status (more below).

First run: set it up and test

  1. Open the panel

    Click the purple button. Close it with the × or the button again. Settings save automatically; hover any setting or click ? for an explanation.

  2. Choose what to book

    Leads from: tick new leads, rejected texts (the temporary USHA do-not-call blocks), or both. Set States (e.g. FL), Calendar, and keep Book as: Follow-up and Tag: Auto Follow-up.

  3. Preview with "Load leads"

    Lists every matching lead and the follow-up time it would get. Books nothing.

  4. Run "Test 1 lead"

    Books exactly one real follow-up and checks it. Book all and Auto unlock after it passes.

  5. Go live

    Untick Dry run. Then click Book all for the backlog, or Auto to keep booking new leads every minute. Both ask for a second click that shows how many leads will be booked.

Reading the purple button

With the panel closed, the button tells you what Auto is doing. Hover it for the last and next check time.

Auto · in another tabAnother Ringy tab is doing the booking. This tab just mirrors it. Auto · errorSomething failed. Hover the button to see why.

Keep Auto running

Auto works with the panel closed and while you work leads, including in other Ringy tabs. Only one tab books at a time, so nothing is booked twice.

It pauses if the Ringy tab is closed, refreshed, or the computer sleeps. It restarts by itself the next time Ringy loads, and skips leads that already have a follow-up.

Updating

When a new version is out, the button gets a small green dot and the panel shows:

Update available: v0.x.y (you have v0.2.1). Download, unzip it over your current folder, then click reload on this extension in chrome://extensions.
  1. Download the new zip and unzip it over the same folder (replace the files).
  2. In chrome://extensions, click the reload arrow on the card.

Questions

Does it ever text, email or call my leads?

No. Every follow-up is saved with confirmation texts, emails, reminders and automations turned off. The tag it adds has no automation attached.

Why 10 years out?

That's the default for holding leads. Change Years ahead to 0 to book a real call time instead (within your business hours in the lead's time zone).

Which rejected texts does it use?

Only texts whose reason contains "temporarily blocked by USHA due to do-not-call". Permanent blocks, "blocked by USHA server", carrier and landline rejections are skipped. These leads are on do-not-call lists: the follow-up only holds the lead, don't text or call them from it.

The purple button doesn't show up.

Refresh app.ringy.com. In chrome://extensions, check the extension is turned on and Developer mode is still on. If you moved or deleted the folder, load it again.

"Book all" and "Auto" are greyed out.

Run Test 1 lead once in that browser. They unlock when the test booking checks out.

It booked fewer leads than I expected.

It skips leads that already have a follow-up or appointment, blocked and sold leads, and leads outside your States. Load leads shows each lead's status. For new leads, raise Look back to include older ones.

Chrome says "Disable developer mode extensions".

Chrome shows that reminder for any extension loaded this way. Click the X to dismiss it; the extension keeps working.
