Adding alerts to your Chatbot can help keep your team informed when important interactions occur. For instance, if a visitor reaches a specific part of the bot or answers a key question that suggests they are a strong lead, you can trigger an internal email to notify the relevant team members. This allows your sales or other teams to take timely action, even if the visitor doesn’t complete the bot or book directly.
Internal email alerts are fully team-facing, meaning visitors won’t know about these notifications or receive any emails related to them. The alerts are strictly for internal updates.
Why Use Alerts in Your Chatbot?
Adding alerts ensures that:
- Your team is notified of high-priority developments immediately.
- No important leads slip through the cracks.
- Team members can take proactive steps based on key visitor interactions.
