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
The contact becomes a client. Their contact type changes from lead to client.
Their lead-stage automations stop. Anything running to convert them.
They get a welcome email, with the free branded resource, unless they've already been sent this prior.
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.
