Focus: The focus of this public FAQ/Self Help guide is to provide you an overview and details about building Cliently flows with Gift action.

What is a Gift Action and why should I send one? A Gift Action allows you to send a Gift card and one handwritten note to ship directly to your potential leads/contacts. The goal of the gift and handwritten note is to create a super personal touch during the sales process - usually as a closing action or follow-up to an already established conversation. At this point, the lead already knows you by name and may even have had a conversation with you on the phone or in person. Ideally, this would be the encouragement to open the letter - the personalization and the name recognition.

Instant Action with Gift - Please Note: With this action, you can also perform an “Instant Action” and send out a Gift WITHOUT adding to a flow. Click here to learn more.

What are Cliently Flows?: A flow is a list of items based upon “actions” that were added. For Example: Send email, wait 1 day, Send Video message, wait 2 days, Send Gift. Learn more about using Cliently flows by checking out our overview.

Cliently credits used?: Yes, Sending a Cliently Gift costs credits depending on the denomination of the gift card and 8 credits for the handwritten note and shipping delivery. Learn more about Cliently Credits.

How long does it take for the Gift to be delivered?  Cliently will be using USPS for sending out Gifts. For United States addresses it takes between 3-5 days.
