How lead capture works
When a visitor is chatting with your AI, the widget can prompt them to share their contact information (name, email, phone). This happens:
- Automatically — After a configurable number of messages (default: 3-4 exchanges)
- On request — When the AI detects the visitor wants a callback, quote, or appointment
Lead capture is enabled by default. You can adjust timing and behavior in Settings.
Viewing leads
Go to the Leads tab in your chatbot hub. Each lead shows:
- Name, email, phone — Contact details (encrypted at rest)
- Source — Where the lead came from (widget, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.)
- Inquiry — What they asked about
- Status — New, Contacted, Qualified, Won, or Lost
- Conversation link — Jump directly to their chat
Lead statuses
Update lead status as you work through your pipeline:
- New — Just captured, not yet contacted
- Contacted — You've reached out
- Qualified — Confirmed as a real opportunity
- Won — Converted to a customer
- Lost — Didn't convert
Click any lead to update its status, add notes, or view the full conversation.
