Quick heads-up, there's nothing to set up here, this one's just so you know how Jtek charges. Jtek runs on pay-per-use: instead of a bloated flat monthly plan, you keep a small wallet balance and only pay for what you actually send. You'll find it under Settings → Billing → Wallet & Transactions, where you can top up your wallet and turn on Auto recharge (e.g. refill $50 whenever you drop below $10) so your sending never pauses mid-blast.
The Product Breakdown shows exactly where your wallet goes, email, SMS, voice, and AI usage each get their own line. Most actions cost fractions of a cent (~$0.0016/email, ~$0.0079/SMS segment, ~$0.014/voice minute), so a typical real-estate agent spends just $30-$80/month.
- Open Settings → Integrations → All Integrations
- Connect Facebook first (it covers Instagram too), then TikTok Messaging and TikTok Lead Ads
- After Facebook authorizes, pick which Pages to sync, set the Sync Time (All Leads or New Leads only), and click Update and Continue
- Repeat for TikTok Messaging and TikTok Lead Ads, same flow
- Once connected, every DM, comment reply, and lead-form submission from FB, IG, and TikTok lands in your Conversations inbox
Automate your follow ups
Create the beast in your business with this setup.
- Open Opportunities → Pipelines in the top sub-nav
- Top right, click + Create Pipeline, a dialog opens
- Name it (e.g. "Buyers") and rename the default stages to match your workflow. For a buyer pipeline try: New Lead Inquiry → Credit Repair → Pending Pre-Approval → Home Shopping → Pending
- Open Opportunities → Opportunities and pick your Buyers pipeline from the dropdown, you'll see your stages as Kanban columns
- Click + Add opportunity to drop a new lead in, then drag the card from stage to stage as they progress
- Go to Automation → Workflows and click + Create Workflow
- Pick the trigger Opportunity Status Changed and set the stage filter (start with your first stage, e.g. “New Lead”)
- Add actions: an immediate SMS, a Wait step (1-3 days), then an Email follow-up
- Click Publish, then duplicate the workflow and change the stage filter for the next pipeline stage
- Repeat until every stage you built in step 10 has its own follow-up sequence, that’s your sales engine on autopilot
- Go to Opportunities in the left sidebar
- Click + Add Opportunity (or open a contact and add them to the pipeline from there)
- Fill in: contact name, deal value, and starting stage
- Practice dragging the card to the next stage to see how the pipeline works
- Go to Contacts in the left sidebar, then click Smart Lists in the top tab row
- Click Advanced filters above the table, a drawer slides out from the right
- Pick a field like Tag, set the condition to is, then choose a value (e.g. Buyer)
- Click + Add Filter and stack another condition, for example Pipeline Stage is Home Shopping, then hit Apply
- Top right, click Unsaved changes → Save as new smart list, the Add smart list sheet slides open on the right
- Type a clear name like "Home Shopping Buyers", double-check the 2 applied filters, and click Create
- Your new Smart List shows up as a tab in the Smart Lists row at the top, open it any time, then use Bulk Actions to text, email, add a tag, or push the whole group into a workflow

- When the page is ready, refine it in the live chat, type things like "make the headline bolder", "swap the hero image", "shorten the form to 2 fields". No need to start over
- Connect the form to the stage automation you built in step 11 so every new lead gets an instant follow-up text or email
