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
Automatic lead detection is disabled by default for new chatbots. You can enable it manually in the Lead Settings when you're ready to start capturing leads.
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" |
