This article explains what ClinicMonk™ does when a lead's status is set to Won — how the contact changes, which automations stop, and the welcome email the new client receives.


​

What starts it

Setting a lead's status to Won. That's the only trigger, and it doesn't matter which stage the lead was in when you did it.


​

What happens

  1. The contact becomes a client. Their contact type changes from lead to client.

  2. Their lead-stage automations stop. Anything running to convert them.

  3. They get a welcome email, with the free branded resource, unless they've already been sent this prior.

  4. They're tagged for nurture, which starts the long-term email sequence, unless they're already in it.


​

Why the contact type change matters

It isn't only a label. The long-term nurture emails come in two versions — one written for leads, one for clients — and ClinicMonk™ picks between them based on this field. Because the contact becomes a client before being tagged, a won lead gets the client version: the same topics, shorter, mostly without the invitation to book a consult.


​

It also means a contact who was partway through the lead version of that sequence moves across to the client version rather than continuing with booking invitations they no longer need.


​

The welcome email

Subject: A Little Extra Support Before Your Appointment.


​

It's addressed to them by first name, acknowledges that they've booked, and offers a link to your welcome resource. It also sets out that you'll occasionally send resources, wellness tips and clinic updates, and tells them how to unsubscribe.


​

It's skipped if they've already been sent that resource. ClinicMonk™ checks first, so someone who picked up your welcome resource earlier — before they ever booked — doesn't receive the same offer again. They still get tagged for nurture, exactly as everyone else does.


​

What keeps running

The long-term nurture emails. Every other automation stops, but this one is deliberately left alone, because the tag applied in step 4 is what starts it.


​

If they were already receiving nurture emails as a lead, they carry on from the same point in the client version rather than starting over.
