Questions, answered
Will it reply to the lead automatically?
No. Every response is saved as a Gmail draft and flagged in Slack for your review. Nothing is sent to the lead until you approve and send it yourself.
How does it personalize the response if the lead gave only basic details?
It uses whatever details the lead provided: their name, the service they requested, and any notes from the inquiry form. If details are sparse, the draft is still personalized with their name and a warm, professional tone.
What if I get leads outside business hours?
The automation runs around the clock and drafts a response the moment a lead arrives. The Slack alert is waiting for you when you start your day, so you can reply first thing in the morning.
