How to Run Email and WhatsApp Campaigns from Your Solar CRM
Running a solar business isn’t just about panels and installations — it’s about relationships. Whether it’s generating leads, sending quotes, or keeping customers updated, your communication system plays a big role in closing deals.
Most solar companies use a CRM to manage leads, but they often rely on separate tools for email and WhatsApp outreach. That means extra cost, more manual work, and lost opportunities.
With Fuzen, you can change that. You can build a solar sales CRM from scratch using its no-code tools and then integrate it directly with your favorite email and WhatsApp platforms. The result? A single, connected system that automates your entire communication flow — from the first lead capture to post-installation updates.
Why You Need Email and WhatsApp Inside Your CRM
For solar companies, fast and consistent follow-up can make or break a deal. Customers often get multiple quotes, and the one who follows up first usually wins.
When you integrate email and WhatsApp into your solar sales CRM, you:
-
See everything in one place: All messages, calls, and notes are stored under one lead profile.
-
Automate follow-ups: Send pre-scheduled reminders or updates based on the lead’s activity.
-
Boost engagement: WhatsApp messages have open rates of over 90%, while emails still work great for formal communication and document sharing.
-
Save hours each week: No need to switch tools or manually track communication.
-
Keep your team aligned: Everyone can see who’s contacted a lead, what was said, and what’s next.
This is what true CRM integration looks like — one system handling everything from prospecting to conversion.
Step 1: Build Your Solar Sales CRM on Fuzen
Fuzen makes it easy to create a fully functional CRM without writing any code. You start with a ready-made Solar CRM app template and then customize it to your exact needs.
Here’s what your CRM might include:
-
Lead Management: Capture new leads from website forms, social media ads, or referral programs.
-
Quoting and Proposals: Generate instant solar quotes with system details, cost, and ROI estimates.
-
Pipeline Tracking: Visualize each deal’s progress — from initial contact to installation.
-
Task and Reminder System: Schedule follow-ups, assign reps, and never miss a call.
-
Reports and Analytics: Track conversion rates, campaign ROI, and team performance.
Fuzen’s AI assistant helps you generate these modules just by describing what you want. You can say, “Create a lead management module with lead status, source, and quote amount,” and Fuzen will build it for you.
Once your CRM is ready, you can extend it with APIs or built-in connectors to link with your favorite communication platforms.
Step 2: Add Email Campaigns to Your Solar CRM
Email is still one of the most effective tools for solar lead nurturing. You can use it for proposals, follow-ups, payment reminders, and even installation updates.
To integrate email campaigns into your CRM, follow these steps:
1. Describe what you want: Click on the "Edit with AI" tab and tell what kind of workflow you want to set
2. Fill in the Details: Provide frequency, type, email address, sender name, email client, etc.
3. Automate the Flow: Set triggers such as:
- When a new lead is added, send a welcome email.
- If no reply in 48 hours, send a reminder.
- When a quote is accepted, send a confirmation.
4. Track Engagement: The email API sends open and click events back to your CRM so you can see which leads are active.
Here an example of email automation workflow:
You can even build dashboards in Fuzen showing campaign performance — open rates, click rates, and conversions — without ever leaving your CRM.
Step 3: Add WhatsApp Campaigns
WhatsApp is becoming a game-changer for solar sales, especially in regions like India, Africa, and Latin America, where customers prefer chat-based communication.
Here’s how to integrate WhatsApp into your solar sales CRM:
-
Choose a Provider: Use a WhatsApp Business API provider such as Twilio, WATI, or Zoko.
-
Get Template Approval: Before sending marketing messages, WhatsApp requires you to register message templates with Meta.
-
Connect APIs: Just like with email, you can use API calls from Fuzen to send messages directly from your CRM.
-
Set Up Webhooks: These push delivery receipts, read confirmations, and customer replies back into your CRM.
-
Automate Conversations:
-
Send a welcome message when a lead is created.
-
If the customer replies, automatically assign it to a sales rep.
-
Send installation updates and payment reminders automatically.
-
With this setup, your team can message leads directly from the CRM — no switching between apps or copying numbers.
Step 4: Automate Everything with Smart Workflows
Once both integrations are done, your CRM becomes a communication engine.
For example:
-
A new lead is captured → CRM sends an introductory email.
-
No response in 24 hours → Send a WhatsApp message.
-
Lead opens email or replies → Automatically move them to “Interested.”
-
If the deal closes → Send installation reminders and post-sale follow-ups.
You can also:
-
Update lead scores based on engagement.
-
Assign hot leads to senior reps automatically.
-
Send scheduled WhatsApp broadcasts about solar offers or maintenance packages.
All of this happens inside one system — your Fuzen-powered CRM.
Real-World Example: Lead to Customer in 5 Days
Let’s say you run a solar company called “BrightSun Energy.”
-
A visitor requests a solar quote through your website.
-
The CRM adds the lead automatically.
-
Within seconds, it sends a personalized email with a thank-you message.
-
The next day, a WhatsApp message follows up with a short pitch and call-to-action.
-
The customer replies “Yes.” The CRM assigns a rep and sends a full quote via email.
-
The rep tracks all replies inside the CRM and schedules installation after closing.
-
After the job, an automated WhatsApp message asks for feedback or referrals.
The entire process runs smoothly — no missed leads, no manual steps, no extra tools.
