Lifecycle · the whole system at a glance

One journey, many paths.

This is how a single contact moves through the lifecycle: from first inquiry, down whichever path fits what happens next, into the right automated sequence. Every flow connects; the detail for each email lives in the full lifecycle plan.

How to read it: follow the arrows left to right. Each labeled arrow is the condition that routes someone down that path; the white cards are the automated email flows they land in. The rose stripe marks where each email personalizes.

Entry Team step Automated email flow Client state Dynamic content (personalization)
not yet reached calls back answers live connected · not booked booked no book attends next booked recent · none booked lapsed 12+ wks re-engage Contact form callback request Phone call answered live Connected with welcome team Flow A · Inquiry Nurture 4 touches · 15 min–72h nurtures form-fills until reached Flow B · Welcome → Booked 4 emails · 24h–7d handles the real objections Lost / went cold Booked intake card + appt Flow C · Pre-session prep 3 touches · until first session confirm · prep · remind Active client · Engaged next session booked · no touch Flow D · Continuity 2 emails · ~4–8 wks Flow E · Reactivation 3 touches · day 0–12 recover intakes at ~$0 media Dynamic content layer: every email is one template with blocks that swap by field (location, service line, format, minor). One flow per stage, not one per segment.

A couple of notes on the map: once the welcome team logs the fields, the emails inside each flow personalize through dynamic blocks (the rose layer): location, service line, format, and minor. That is how six flows cover every service line and location, instead of one flow per segment. These flows run natively in Therapy Flow (ideal), with the newsletter able to stay in Mailchimp.
