# Follow Up Boss

> Connect Follow Up Boss, text from inside it, and keep contacts matched.

With Follow Up Boss connected, your team can text people from inside Follow Up Boss, reply from the Follow Up Boss Inbox, and see calls on each person's timeline.

Setup is done once by a Blujay workspace owner or admin, with owner or admin access in Follow Up Boss. If your workspace is already set up, skip to [Text from inside Follow Up Boss](#text-from-inside-follow-up-boss).

## Set up Follow Up Boss

Setup has three parts.

### 1. Connect Follow Up Boss

**1. Open Integrations**

In the Blujay web app, click **Settings** in the left sidebar, then the **Integrations** tab.

**2. Connect**

On the **Follow Up Boss** card, click **Connect**. A Follow Up Boss window opens.

**3. Sign in and allow access**

Sign in to Follow Up Boss and allow Blujay to connect. When you see **Connection complete**, close the window.

Once connected, new people added to Follow Up Boss with a phone number are added to your Blujay contacts automatically. People already in Follow Up Boss before you connected aren't imported. You can turn this off under **Contact sync** in the Follow Up Boss settings.

### 2. Set up Inbox messaging

Inbox messaging puts your Blujay conversations in the Follow Up Boss Inbox, and lets your team reply from there.

**1. Open the Follow Up Boss settings**

On the **Follow Up Boss** card, click the gear icon, then click **Set up Inbox messaging**.

**2. Choose the default inbox**

Choose the Follow Up Boss inbox where new Blujay conversations should appear, then click **Continue**.

**3. Match your team**

For each Follow Up Boss user, choose the matching Blujay teammate under **Blujay teammate**. Where an email matches, Blujay suggests a match for you to confirm. Then click **Save and continue**.

**4. Add your Follow Up Boss API key**

In Follow Up Boss, go to **Admin → API Keys** and copy the Account Owner API key (generate one if you need to). Paste it into **Owner API key** in Blujay, then click **Activate Inbox**.

Activation can take a moment while Follow Up Boss confirms access. Blujay only uses your API key once to set things up, and never shows it again.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Teammates you don't match can still see and reply to conversations in Follow Up Boss, but Blujay can't assign conversations to them or show that a reply came from them. They also can't use the Blujay app inside Follow Up Boss.

### 3. Turn on the Blujay app in Follow Up Boss

**1. Open Embedded Apps in Follow Up Boss**

In Follow Up Boss, go to **Admin → Integrations** and scroll to **Embedded Apps**.

**2. Enable Blujay**

Choose **Blujay** and click **Enable**. If Blujay is already enabled, you're done.

Everyone on your Follow Up Boss account now sees Blujay on the right-hand side of a person's profile, and in the Follow Up Boss Inbox when a conversation is selected. Teammates you matched in part 2 are signed in automatically.

## Text from inside Follow Up Boss

Open a person in Follow Up Boss. The Blujay app appears on the right-hand side of their profile, already signed in.

* If you've texted this person before, your conversation opens.
* If you've texted them from more than one Blujay number, choose the conversation you want.
* If you haven't texted them yet, a new message to them opens.

In the Blujay app you can send texts and group messages, schedule messages, react, reply to a specific message, and listen to voicemails. Click **Open in Blujay** to open the conversation in the full Blujay web app.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You can't place calls from the Blujay app inside Follow Up Boss. To call from Follow Up Boss, use the **Call with Blujay** button from the [Chrome extension](https://support.blujay.io/chrome-extension.md).

## Reply from the Follow Up Boss Inbox

New Blujay conversations appear in your Follow Up Boss Inbox. When you reply from the Follow Up Boss Inbox, Blujay sends the text, and it shows as coming from you.

Your reply's status updates in Follow Up Boss as it goes: **Sent**, **Delivered**, then **Read** when the contact reads it. If it couldn't be sent, it shows **Not Delivered** with the reason.

## What's added to Follow Up Boss

* **Texts** appear in the Follow Up Boss Inbox.
* **Calls** that were answered, missed or went to voicemail can be added to the person's timeline, with a summary when one is available.
* **New contacts:** people added to Follow Up Boss after you connect are added to your Blujay contacts automatically, if they have a phone number. Changes to a linked person's name in Follow Up Boss update the Blujay contact too.

Admins choose what's added to each person's timeline under **Communication activity** in the Follow Up Boss settings.

## When a contact doesn't match

Blujay links each contact to a person in Follow Up Boss by their phone number or email. When it can't, you'll see a banner at the top of the conversation.

| Banner | What to do |
| - | - |
| **Not in FUB yet** | This contact isn't in Follow Up Boss. Click **Review** to choose a matching person or add them to Follow Up Boss. If you see **Check Again**, click it after fixing the person in Follow Up Boss. |
| **Possible second number** | This number may belong to someone already in Follow Up Boss. Click **Add Number** to add it to their Follow Up Boss profile. |
| **FUB disconnected** | Follow Up Boss is disconnected, so messages aren't being logged. Admins can click **Reconnect**. Everyone else, ask your workspace admin. |

## When a number changes in Follow Up Boss

If someone's phone number changes in Follow Up Boss, the Blujay app shows **{Name}'s number changed in Follow Up Boss**, with the old and new numbers. Click **Switch to** the new number to update the contact in Blujay. Group messages stay on the old number.

## Manage the connection

**Add teammates later.** When someone joins Follow Up Boss after setup, go to **Settings → Integrations**, click the gear icon on the **Follow Up Boss** card, open **Team member mapping**, choose their Blujay teammate and click **Done**. To ring them for calls from Follow Up Boss, they also need a forwarding number in **Settings → Team Members**.

**Disconnect.** On the **Follow Up Boss** card, turn off the switch, then click **Disconnect**. Your settings are kept, so you can reconnect at any time from the same page.
