Automatically revive leads that have gone unresponsive

Purpose

The AI SMS Follow-Up feature enables your AI assistant to automatically re-engage leads who have gone cold or stopped responding. Instead of relying on manual outreach or basic drip texts, the AI sends intelligent, conversational follow-ups—reviving dead leads and keeping the conversation going without any extra effort from your team.


Step 1 - Adding Contacts to the AI Contextual followup


Step 2 - Removing Contacts from the AI followup Workflow


FAQs

Q: How does the AI know when to follow up?
A: You can trigger follow-ups based on conditions like “No response after X minutes/hours/days” using workflows, tags, or automation triggers inside your CRM or Centerfy system.

Q: What does the AI send in the follow-up?
A: The AI sends a personalized message (e.g., “Just checking back—are you still interested in [service]?”) and can carry on a full conversation if the lead replies.

Q: Can I customize the timing and message?
A: Yes. You control when the follow-up is sent and what it says. You can also use different follow-up sequences based on lead type or funnel stage.

Q: Will the AI respond if the lead replies to the SMS?
A: Yes—if the lead has the appropriate Active Tag i.e (like smschat_ai), the AI will automatically take over the conversation.

Q: Can I use this for abandoned forms, missed calls, or no-shows?
A: Absolutely. You can trigger follow-ups based on almost any event—form submissions, pipeline status, tags, or missed appointments.
