Let AI Prioritize Leads, Manage Follow-Ups & Close Conversations

Still reading every WhatsApp chat to figure out who’s ready to buy?

Actionable AI reviews your WhatsApp conversations to understand customer interest, marks leads as Hot, Warm, or Cold based on your rules, and updates their CRM ratings and lead scores. It also identifies conversations ready to close, helping your team focus on leads that need attention.

It can also prepare or automatically send follow-ups when customers stop replying. You control each capability separately, including when agents review an action and when AI handles it automatically.

🆕 Features

Automatically Mark Leads as Hot, Warm or Cold

AI reviews conversations and assigns a priority based on the buying signals you define.

For example, your rules could classify leads as:

  • Hot: Asking for a quote, requesting a demo, confirming a budget, or discussing a purchase timeline.

  • Warm: Exploring features, checking availability, or comparing options.

  • Cold: Browsing with no immediate requirement or clear buying intent.

Each priority appears in the inbox with a short reason, a conversation summary, and a suggested next step.

Your team can review the assessment and manually override the priority whenever needed.

Define Lead Priority Rules for Your Business

Describe what each priority means in plain language. You can also add instructions that apply across all three categories.

For a real estate team, you could define:

  • Hot: A buyer shares their budget, preferred location, and plans to book a site visit this week.

  • Warm: A buyer asks for property options and amenities while comparing projects.

  • Cold: A person browses listings without a stated purchase requirement or timeline.

AI uses these rules to assess conversations consistently.

Save Ratings & Lead Scores to Contact Records

You can choose whether AI also saves its assessment to the linked contact.

  • Rating: Save the Hot, Warm, or Cold priority.

  • Lead Score: Save a number from 0 to 100 representing AI’s confidence in its assessment.

These fields can help your team filter contacts, build segments, and review leads by rating and score.

The Lead Score reflects classification confidence. Qualified Lead Detection separately updates Lead Status, so both features can work together.

Suggest or Automatically Close Conversations

AI can identify conversations that match your configured closing reasons and help clear them from the open inbox.

Choose how it acts:

  • Suggest, and let an agent decide: AI adds a note explaining why the conversation may be ready to close.

  • Close it automatically: AI marks the conversation as Solved and records the reason.

Possible reasons include:

  • Wrong number

  • Explicitly not interested

  • Spam or irrelevant messages

  • Already purchased and needs no further assistance

  • Other reasons defined by your business

AI must match an enabled closing reason before taking action.

Define Which Conversations Must Stay Open

Set exceptions to protect conversations that still need your team’s attention.

For example, instruct AI to keep a conversation open when the customer:

  • Requests pricing or availability

  • Asks for a demo, callback, or site visit

  • Raises a question or objection that needs an answer

  • Is waiting for information your team promised

You can also specify how AI should handle uncertainty. Stay-open exceptions take precedence over closing rules.

Control Reopening & Human Overrides

Agents can reopen an AI-closed conversation whenever needed.

You can also allow AI to reopen conversations it previously closed when new context meets your configured confidence threshold.

  • Set the confidence required for AI reopening

  • Let agents correct closure decisions

  • Keep manually closed or manually reopened conversations outside further AI closure handling

This keeps your team in control of conversation status.

Prepare Contextual Follow-Ups When Leads Go Quiet

When an agent or AI sends a message, and the customer stops replying, Actionable AI can prepare the next follow-up.

You define the goal for each step, such as:

  • Offer a call or demo slot

  • Ask whether the customer needs more information

  • Help address a pending decision

  • Check whether they still need assistance

AI writes the message using the conversation context and the customer’s language.

Set Different Follow-Up Sequences by Lead Priority

Create separate follow-up sequences for:

  • Hot leads

  • Warm leads

  • Cold leads

  • Leads not yet rated

Each sequence has its own enable/disable control. Within each step, you can set the waiting period and the message goal.

For example, a Hot real estate lead could receive a follow-up offering a site visit, while a Warm lead could receive a message asking which property details would help them decide.

Choose Agent Review or Automatic Sending

Control who sends the follow-up.

  • Draft Mode: AI prepares the message in the conversation for an agent to review and send.

  • Automatic Mode: AI sends according to your configured timing and business hours.

Agents can pause follow-ups on individual conversations. A customer reply stops the remaining sequence immediately.

For steps that may fall outside WhatsApp’s customer-service messaging window, configure an approved template.

Manage Business Hours, Daily Limits & AI Usage

Set limits around how frequently AI evaluates conversations and takes action.

You can configure:

  • Minimum conversation length before assigning priority

  • Number of recent messages AI reviews

  • Waiting time before a priority check

  • Maximum priority checks per day

  • Confidence required for automatic closure

  • Maximum closures and follow-ups per day

  • Business hours for follow-up sending

Priority checks use AI credits. These controls help manage usage and the volume of automated activity.

You can also choose to mark a conversation Solved after its follow-up sequence finishes without a reply.
