Lead Management
Lead Management allows your chatbot to automatically detect potential customers and capture their contact information. The AI recognizes buying signals and guides visitors through a smooth lead capture process.
Enabling Lead Management
Requirements
Lead Management is available on:
- Professional plan and above
- All Agency plans
How It Works
- AI Detection: The chatbot analyzes conversations for buying intent signals
- Confirmation: When signals are detected, the bot asks if the visitor wants to be contacted
- Data Collection: Upon confirmation, the bot collects configured lead fields one by one
- Notification: Team members receive instant push and email notifications
Configuring AI Lead Detection
Enable/Disable Detection
You can control automatic AI detection for each chatbot individually:
- Go to Dashboard → Leads → Settings
- Select the AI Recognition tab
- Enable or disable Automatic Lead Detection
Set Sensitivity
Detection sensitivity determines how clear buying intent must be:
| Level | Description | Recommended for |
|---|---|---|
| High | Detects even slight buying signals | More leads, aggressive lead generation |
| Medium | Balanced detection (default) | Most use cases |
| Low | Only on very clear interest | High lead quality, less volume |
Lead Detection Signals
The AI recognizes these buying intent signals:
| Signal Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Pricing inquiries | "How much does it cost?", "What's your pricing?" |
| Demo requests | "Can I see a demo?", "I'd like a trial" |
| Implementation questions | "How does integration work?", "What's the setup process?" |
| Competitor comparison | "How do you compare to X?", "Why should I choose you?" |
| Business use cases | Specific questions about their use case |
| Purchase intent | "I want to buy", "Sign me up" |
| Urgency signals | "We need this ASAP", "Our current solution expires soon" |
