PROMPT

Create an OpenClaw recipe that sends automated weekly updates to active real estate clients: - Pull activity and upcoming deadlines from CRM and transaction tasks - Generate a per-client summary: highlights, next steps, and up to 3 action items - Send via preferred channel (email or SMS) - Include deadline alerts when something critical is < X days away - Send "no major changes" updates during quiet weeks Email subject: "Weekly update: {{address_or_search_area}}" My CRM is: [your CRM] Send schedule: [day and time]

How It Works

Every week at your configured send time, this recipe checks each active client

(buyer search, active listing, under contract) and generates a personalized

update: what happened this week, what's next, and what you need from them. It

sends via their preferred channel and escalates if a critical deadline is close.

What You Get

  • Weekly summary per active client: highlights, next steps, action items
  • Delivery via email or SMS based on client preference
  • Deadline alerts when something critical is less than X days away
  • "No major changes" updates to maintain trust during quiet weeks
  • Multi-property support (top 3 items + link to full portal)

Setup Steps

  1. Connect your CRM and transaction management tools
  2. Tag active clients (buyer search, active listing, under contract)
  3. Set send schedule (default: Friday 3pm)
  4. Note each client's preferred channel (email or SMS)
  5. Customize the templates to match your voice

Tips

  • Always send something — even "no major changes" builds trust
  • Cap action items at 3 to avoid overwhelming clients
  • Clients who prefer no weekly updates should get milestone-only messages instead
  • Include a "want a 5-min call?" CTA in the SMS version
  • Review and tweak auto-generated summaries for the first few weeks until the tone is dialed in
