Craigslist leads can be sent to Follow Up Boss to manage. While Craigslist does not allow two-way communication with leads through Follow Up Boss due to the 2-way email relay, you can still use Craigslist to bring in initial leads for you to contact directly from your email.

Setup

1. Find your Follow Up Boss lead email address in your Follow Up Boss account by navigating to Admin > API (@followupboss.me email address)
2. Log into your Craigslist account
3. Click Settings
4. Select Change next to your current email
5. Enter your Follow Up Boss lead email address as your new Craigslist email
6. Confirmation emails will be sent to your current email and your Follow Up Boss lead email address (both contain a link and both links must be clicked to change your email)
   • When the message comes to your Follow UP Boss lead email address, we'll forward it to you automatically. Look for an email from forwarding@followupboss.com.

Once complete, any response to a Craigslist posting on your account will be sent in to Follow Up Boss and created as a lead.

Known Limitations

Craigslist has made some changes to their relay system in an effort to prevent spam/scam email addresses, as shared in this clip from their help article.

Due to this relay, FUB is unable to be used to directly communicate, as Craigslist filters out our provider. Once you obtain the real email address of your client, you'll be able to update the contact profile in FUB and email them using FUB going forward.
