What’s New — Smarter & Context-Aware Auto Follow-Up for Conversation AI
We’ve rolled out a major enhancement to the Auto Follow-Up feature in Conversation AI!
Previously, bots would sometimes send unnecessary or excessive follow-ups, even after a conversation had clearly ended — for example, when a user was disqualified, not interested, or had already booked an appointment.
With this update, the bot is now context-aware and intelligently analyzes the entire conversation — including the last few messages — before deciding whether to send or cancel a scheduled follow-up.
This makes the bot more human-like, relevant, and respectful of user intent.

💡 How It Works
- No additional setup is required — simply enable Auto Follow-Up, and this enhancement will work by default for all your bots.
- The AI now evaluates the conversation’s tone, intent, and context before executing a follow-up.
- Using agentic detection, it determines whether the conversation is still open or has ended.
- If the user no longer requires assistance, the bot will cancel the scheduled follow-up automatically.

When the Bot Won’t Follow Up
Here are scenarios where the bot will now skip follow-ups intelligently:
- When the user is disqualified
Example responses:
– “Sorry, you’re not in our service area.”
– “We don’t provide that service in your location.”
- When the user expresses disinterest
Example responses:
- “Not interested.”
- No thanks.”
- “I don’t need your service.”
- When the user declines to book an appointment
- Example: “I don’t want to book an appointment.”
- If the bot ends the conversation, no follow-up will be triggered.
- If the bot continues the conversation, it will reassess if a follow-up is still necessary.
- When the user expresses anger or frustration
Example responses:
- “Leave me alone.”
- “Stop texting me.”
- “This is spam.”
- “Not looking right now.”
- When the conversation ends naturally or softly
Example responses:
- “Got it, Ryan. If you need anything else, feel free to ask.”
- “Thanks for the chat. Talk soon!”
- “That covers everything from my side.”
- “Hope that helps! Always here if you need anything.”
- hese indicate closure and no further follow-up is needed unless the user re-engages.
