Email Follow-Up Reminder

Get reminders to follow up on important emails that haven't been replied to in 3+ days

Gmail integration that tracks email threads and reminds you to follow up on stale conversations. Never let a lead or prospect go cold due to forgetfulness.

Nora monitors your sent emails and watches for replies. If you send an important email (flagged as 'needs reply') and don't get a response within 3 days, Nora sends you a reminder with the original email content and a link to reply. You define which emails are 'important'—typically sales outreach, client requests, or follow-ups from prospects. Example: You send a proposal to 'alice@acme.com' on Monday. Thursday morning, Nora reminds you: 'No reply yet to your Monday proposal for Acme. Follow up today or mark as not-needed.' You tap 'Follow Up' and Nora drafts a reply, or you click 'Done' if you already contacted Alice by phone. This is especially useful for outreach specialists and sales teams managing many conversations—you never lose track of hot leads. The automation can also auto-bump emails to the top of your inbox if they're approaching the follow-up deadline, so you see them at a glance.
