Love StreetText's lead gen? Keep it.
You don't have to choose. Keep running StreetText's Facebook-ad funnel for leads, and let SendMate handle the texting from your own Follow Up Boss number. Drop just the texting add-on and the $0.10-per-message fees — keep the ad funnel you trust.
Will my Follow Up Boss Action Plans still work after I switch?
Yes. SendMate is a quiet ISA working your FUB list for you. It watches the notes your Action Plans drop and sends each text from your own FUB number. No rebuild: flip the Text Source toggle and your ISA is on duty.
Your SendMate ISA sends each text on the day your Action Plan calls for it, during your Send Window — not queued to a precise second. For a typical FUB drip cadence the outcome is the same as a scheduled service.
How do I switch from Street Text to SendMate?
In four steps, usually under 15 minutes: cancel or pause Street Text, install SendMate, flip your FUB Text Source toggle, and your SendMate ISA takes over your existing Action Plans.
Drop the texting add-on
Keep StreetText's lead gen if you want it; drop the texting piece so leads don't get double-texted during the switch.
Install SendMate
Mac or Windows app, FUB login. ~3 minutes.
Switch Text Source
Settings → FUB Settings → Text Source → "Notes Only".
Your ISA takes over
Your existing notes keep dropping. Your SendMate ISA sends them same-day during your Send Window.
Your texts send from your number, not theirs
StreetText routes through its own number and runs in the cloud. SendMate sends through your own FUB number and is local-first — your contacts, notes, and history stay with you, in Follow Up Boss.
