Sequences send automated follow-ups after a trigger event.
Triggers
- Manual: you enroll customers one-by-one from the Customers page
- Post-call: enrolls every customer when their voice/WhatsApp call ends
- First inbound: enrolls a customer on their first message
- Booking completed: enrolls 30-60 min after a booking ends โ "How was it? Rebook?"
Step types
- Free-form text: any message body, only works inside the 24h customer-care window
- Approved template: Meta-reviewed template, works any time
- AI voice call: places an outbound WhatsApp call. Requires recipient call permission.
Customer-care window
Meta only allows free-form messages within 24 hours of the customer's last reply. After that you need a template.
Reply detection
When the customer replies, the sequence pauses automatically โ the AI assistant takes over the conversation. No double-messaging.
Variables
Use {{first_name}}, {{phone}}, {{email}} plus any custom variable on the customer record.
