RootLogic Lead Pipeline
Lead Pipeline

What happens to leads that sit in Lead Received for 45 days without being moved?

The 45-day nurture sequence is your last automated attempt to re-engage a cold lead before the system cleans them out of the pipeline.

1
Understand the 45-day clock
The clock starts the moment a lead lands in the Lead Received stage. Every automated text and email in the nurture sequence counts as a touch, but the clock only stops if the lead actually moves to a different stage — Hot Lead, Consult Booked, or Procedure Booked.
2
Know what the automation sends during those 45 days
RootLogic sends a scheduled sequence of texts and emails throughout the 45-day window — typically an immediate welcome text, a follow-up email within the first day, and periodic re-engagement messages spaced out over the following weeks. The exact timing is set up by Vitality when your account is configured.
3
Watch for the final message at day 45
At the end of the 45-day window, a final "last chance" message goes out automatically. This is the system's last attempt to get a response before pipeline cleanup fires. If the lead replies or books at this point, move them to the correct stage immediately.
4
Expect automatic pipeline cleanup after day 45
After the final message fires and there is still no movement, RootLogic's automation removes the opportunity card from the pipeline automatically. The contact record is not deleted — their information stays in the Contacts tab. Only the pipeline card is cleaned out.
Important: Letting leads pile up in Lead Received without attempting a real phone call is the most common reason practices lose warm prospects. The automation is a backup — your call is the primary move. Don't wait for day 45 to try to reach someone.
Pro tip: Do a quick pipeline scan every Monday morning. Any lead that's been in Lead Received for more than a week without a logged call attempt needs a phone call that day — not another automated text.
