Automation Recipes
To help you get started quickly, we've compiled a list of common automation "recipes" that you can build in the Automation Builder.
1. Lead Qualification Bot
Automatically qualify leads before they reach your sales team.
- Trigger: New Conversation.
- Step 1 (Question): "Thanks for reaching out! Are you interested in Web Design or SEO?"
- Step 2 (Capture): Save the user's choice to a
service_interestvariable. - Step 3 (Condition): If "Web Design" -> Ask "What is your budget?".
- Step 4 (Action): Add the tag
#Qualified_Lead. - Step 5 (Action): Internal Note to notify the sales team.
2. After-Hours Auto-Responder
Ensures your customers get an immediate response even when your team is away.
- Trigger: Keyword Match (Any).
- Step 1 (Condition): Check current time against Business Hours.
- Step 2 (Action): Send Message: "Thanks for your message! Our team is currently offline, but we'll get back to you during our business hours (9 AM - 6 PM)."
- Step 3 (Action): Move conversation to the "Pending" folder.
3. Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) Survey
Measure your team's performance after a conversation is closed.
- Trigger: Conversation Status changed to "Closed".
- Step 1 (Delay): Wait 5 minutes.
- Step 2 (Question): "How would you rate your experience today? (1-5)".
- Step 3 (Capture): Save response to a
csat_scoreattribute. - Step 4 (Action): If score < 3 -> Create an urgent task for the Support Manager.
[!TIP] Combine Recipes: You can nest multiple flows for more complex scenarios, such as triggering a Lead Qual bot immediately followed by an After-Hours check.
