Doula Guide

How to Automate Client Follow-Up Emails as a Doula

When Alicia goes into labor at 2am, your brain is in birth mode, not admin mode. Days later, remembering to send her specific birth summary, lactation resources, and the invoice for her $200 meal train add-on often slips while you support Maria's immediate postpartum needs.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

You dig through handwritten prenatal notes to recall preferences, then manually draft unique emails for each family while juggling overlapping due dates.

45 minutes per client
  1. Find your physical notebook or scattered digital notes from prenatal visits
  2. Type birth plan specifics like 'no epidural unless asked 3 times' into an email draft
  3. Check your contract to make sure add-ons like superbill generation are mentioned
  4. Attach PDF resources and double-check partner names before hitting send
  5. Log the sent date in a separate spreadsheet to track follow-up sequences

Christine

AI Secretary

Voice note: Left Jen's 37-week visit. She's worried about prodromal contractions. Wants me to text before arriving, not call. Partner name is Marcus.
9:41 AM
Got it. I've updated Jen's file: 'Text only, do not call.' Marcus is listed as primary contact. Should I draft a reassurance email about prodromal labor signs?
9:41 AM
Yes, send that email. Also, create a superbill for Maria's insurance since she paid in full yesterday. CPT 99499, 14 hours birth attendance.
9:42 AM
Drafting the email to Jen now. For Maria, I'm generating the superbill with CPT 99499. Do you want me to email it directly to her or save it to her folder for you to sign?
9:42 AM
Save to her folder. And remind me to check on Alicia's 24-hour check-in tomorrow morning.
9:43 AM
Superbill saved to Maria's Google Drive folder. Reminder set for tomorrow at 9 AM: 'Call Alicia for 24-hour postpartum check-in.'
