Definition
What Is the SyncMate + Follow Up Boss Integration?
The SyncMate + Follow Up Boss integration adds WhatsApp as an automation action in your real-estate CRM. When a portal lead arrives or an action plan reaches a step, SyncMate sends a WhatsApp message from your own number — without the WhatsApp Business API or BSP approval.
What is Follow Up Boss?
Follow Up Boss is a CRM built for real-estate teams, with lead routing, action plans and automations that fire on lead activity — no developer needed.
SyncMate reaches Follow Up Boss over a webhook, so this is no-code automation end to end. You can run it on your existing number with no Meta verification, or connect the official WhatsApp Business API when you need a verified business identity — both are supported.
Setup
How to Connect WhatsApp to Follow Up Boss
Five steps, under five minutes, no code at any point.
1
Step 1 — Create Your Free SyncMate Account
Sign up at app.assistro.co. The free plan includes 450 messages a month, so you can test the whole workflow before paying for anything.
2
Step 2 — Link Your WhatsApp Number
Scan a QR code to connect your personal or WhatsApp Business number, or connect the official Meta Business API if you need the verified badge. No BSP required either way.
3
Step 3 — Connect Follow Up Boss to SyncMate
In Follow Up Boss, create an automation and add SyncMate as the webhook action, pasting your API token to authorise it.
4
Step 4 — Map Your Trigger and Message Fields
Pick the trigger — new lead from a portal source — then map the lead name, property address and agent name into the opening message.
5
Step 5 — Test and Publish
Run a test send, check it arrives on the right number, then switch the automation on. Every send is logged, so a failure surfaces instead of disappearing.

Send any action plan step as a WhatsApp touch, not an email.
Viewing Reminders
Address, time and map link before every appointment.

The First Five Minutes Decide It
Portal leads go to several agents at once. The one who replies first usually wins, and that is a job for an automation rather than for whoever happens to be at their desk.
Seconds, not hours: fire the moment the lead lands
Every source: portal, website and paid lead forms
From your number: it reads as a person, not a bot

Action Plans That Reach People
Action plans are only as good as the channel they run on. Swapping the touches that keep going unopened for WhatsApp keeps the sequence working.

SyncMate vs. the Official WhatsApp Business API

BSP (Business Solution Provider) is a Meta-approved partner that resells access to the official WhatsApp Business API. Going that route normally means business verification, template pre-approval and per-conversation pricing. SyncMate can run either way — through a BSP-free personal number, or through the official API when you need the verified badge.
