  • Instructions for the assistant: Include details such as when should the assistant send an email, what trigger phrases or questions from users activate this action, what should the assistant reply or ask in response.

Generate Leads

Lead Generation Action The assistant can generate leads based on certain criteria. Be sure to provide clear instructions on what it should do — as well as what it shouldn’t. This feature can be used to automatically collect contact information from interested customers based on specific intent or trigger phrases during a conversation. When a user expresses interest in your services, custom orders, or newsletters, the assistant can:
  • Ask for their name
  • Ask for their email or phone number
  • Optionally ask for company name, budget, or other relevant info
Once the user replies, the assistant:
  • Saves the lead (name + email)
  • Saves this conversation on the Dashboard
  • Confirms to the user: “Thanks! Our team will reach out to you shortly.”

​
Testing Lead Action

You should test the Lead Action in your chat by writing sentences similar to the trigger phrases defined in your instructions. This will help you check if any adjustments are needed. Lead Action Live Chat To access this data, expand AI Actions on the left side to view all relevant information: name, email address, interest, and the date the customer made the request. Collected Leads Lead Conversations You can review the conversation and revise any of the assistant’s replies to ensure better responses in future interactions with your customers.

​
Call an API

API Action With this AI Action, you can call a specific API (Application Programming Interface) to connect Totebot with other systems or services. For example, you could integrate your CRM with a marketing platform to automatically send an email when a new lead is added — and many other automations are possible. Make sure you fill in all required fields, including an accurate link. API Action Live Chat Test your action in live chat.
