A few months ago, I lost a $15,000 client proposal. Not because my work was bad, but because I got buried in project delivery, the lead went quiet for 4 days in Gmail, I forgot to follow up, and by day 8 the deal was dead. The problem with client communication today: 1. Gmail is an overwhelming firehose that treats a $15,000 proposal the same as a Substack newsletter. When threads go quiet, they sink below the fold. 2. CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce) are bloated databases where you have to manually log calls, stages, and contacts. Nobody running client work has time for that. So I built Zappd: the workspace in between Gmail and CRMs. • Direct Gmail OAuth (no email migration, no new inbox) • Triage State Machine (tracks who holds the ball: Needs Reply vs. Waiting) • Automated Silence Timers (visual urgency alerts when clients go quiet) • Auto-Cancel Follow-up Safety Net (scheduled follow-ups abort automatically if the client replies first so you never double-email them) • Gemini-powered Lead Radar (scans incoming inquiries to extract commercial opportunities) • Authentic Voice Modeling (drafts in your actual writing cadence) 🎁 Special for the Product Hunt community: Free access during public beta + 50% off your first 3 months when paid plans launch. I'd love your brutal feedback on the workflow, UI, and mechanics. What's the biggest headache you face with client follow-ups?
