USE CASE · NOTHING DROPPED
You didn't lose the client. You lost the thread.
Anything you're owed a reply on sits in Waiting until it's answered — and when it goes quiet, Nova has the nudge ready.

What it costs you today
- You sent the quote. Then silence. Then three weeks.
- Following up twice feels pushy; following up never costs you the work.
- The thread is buried under two hundred newer messages.
How Nova prepares it.
When a message you sent or forwarded is waiting on someone else, it goes into the Waiting lane instead of disappearing down the list.
If nothing comes back by the date you'd expect, the card resurfaces — quietly, once, at a time you'll actually read it.
A short follow-up is already written, referencing the original thread. Approve it and Nova sends; edit it and Nova learns.
Example previews. Nova prepares — nothing sends, pays or changes without your tap.
What you need
Everything below works today by forwarding mail to your private Nova address. Having Nova watch a mailbox, calendar or WhatsApp on its own is available on Plus.
See all plansWhat Nova can’t do here yet
- Nova only tracks threads it can see. On the Free Preview that means what you forward — connecting a mailbox for automatic tracking is available on Plus.
- It doesn't cold-outreach on your behalf, ever. Follow-ups go only to people already in the conversation.
Questions people actually ask.
- How does Nova know I'm waiting on someone?
- From the shape of the message — a question asked, a quote sent, a document requested. It files those under Waiting and watches for a reply.
- How many times will it nudge?
- It surfaces the card; you decide whether to send. Nova doesn't drip-chase and it never sends anything twice on its own.
- Can I mark something as no longer waiting?
- Yes — dismiss the card and it stops resurfacing. Every dismissal is logged so you can see what you closed.
- Does this work for WhatsApp threads?
- Not yet. Connecting WhatsApp (Plus) lets Nova reach you there with briefings and approval pings — it does not yet read your WhatsApp threads for things to catch. Forwarded email and manual capture work on every plan.
