How AI Follow-Ups Work

Smart timing, not spam — re-engage leads without annoying them

1

Conversation Goes Quiet

A prospect stops responding mid-conversation. ChatGenius detects the silence and checks if a follow-up is appropriate (no goodbye detected, not claimed by a human, not opted out).

2

Follow-Up Scheduled

A follow-up is scheduled with an exact timestamp based on your configured delay. The system checks it falls within Meta's 24-hour messaging window and outside quiet hours.

3

Personalized Message Sent

GPT-5 generates a contextual follow-up based on the conversation history. It references what the customer was discussing — not a generic "Hey, are you still there?"

4

Second Follow-Up or Stop

If the prospect responds, normal conversation resumes. If silence continues, one final follow-up is sent. After 2 messages with no reply, the sequence stops permanently.

Follow-Up Features

Built for compliance and conversion — not just automation

Meta 24-Hour Window Compliance

ChatGenius tracks each customer's last message timestamp and only schedules follow-ups within Meta's 24-hour messaging window. If the window has closed, the follow-up is skipped — no policy violations.

25+ Goodbye Pattern Detection

Recognizes patterns like "thanks bye", "that's all I needed", "no more questions", and 20+ more. If the conversation ended naturally, no follow-up is sent. No awkward "are you still there?" after someone said goodbye.

Quiet Hours

Follow-ups respect your configured business hours. If a message is due at 2am, it's held and delivered at the next available window. Your customers never get woken up by a chatbot.

Dual-Trigger Delivery

Follow-ups use two delivery mechanisms: a cron job as the primary trigger and webhook events as backup. If the cron misses a beat, the webhook catches it. Messages are delivered reliably.

Smart Skip Logic

Follow-ups are automatically skipped when a conversation is claimed by a human agent, marked as resolved, the customer opted out, or a goodbye was detected. No interference with human handoffs.

Context-Aware Messages

GPT-5 reads the full conversation history and generates a follow-up that references what the customer was asking about. "Still thinking about that lip filler appointment?" — not "Hi, just checking in!"

Use Cases

Med Spa

Revive Consultation Inquiries

A prospect asked about pricing for Botox but went quiet. 4 hours later, ChatGenius sends: "Still interested in that Botox consultation? I can check available times for you." 23% of leads re-engage.

Auto Detailing

Recover Abandoned Quotes

Customer sent photos of their car, got a quote, then disappeared. A follow-up referencing the specific vehicle and quoted price brings them back to book — all within Meta's messaging window.

Online Coach

Nudge Discovery Call Sign-Ups

Lead expressed interest in coaching but didn't book. ChatGenius follows up with a personalized nudge mentioning their specific goals, keeping momentum without being pushy.

Follow-Up Questions

How many follow-up messages does ChatGenius send?+
ChatGenius sends a 2-message follow-up sequence. The first message is sent after a configurable delay when a conversation goes quiet. If there's still no response, a second and final follow-up is sent. The sequence stops after 2 messages — ChatGenius never spam-floods a prospect.
When are follow-up messages sent?+
Follow-ups use exact timestamp scheduling based on when the conversation went idle. Delivery uses a dual-trigger system: a cron job runs as the primary trigger, and the webhook acts as a backup. Quiet hours are respected — no messages are sent during off-hours configured in your settings.
How does ChatGenius comply with Meta's 24-hour messaging window?+
Meta allows businesses to send messages within 24 hours of the customer's last message. ChatGenius tracks the timestamp of each interaction and only schedules follow-ups within that window. If the 24-hour window has closed, the follow-up is skipped to avoid policy violations.
What triggers a follow-up to be skipped?+
Follow-ups are automatically skipped when: the conversation has been claimed by a human agent, the conversation is marked as resolved, the customer has opted out, or a goodbye pattern is detected. ChatGenius recognizes 25+ goodbye patterns like "thanks bye", "that's all", "no more questions" to avoid unnecessary messages.
Are follow-ups sent during quiet hours?+
No. ChatGenius respects your configured quiet hours (set in Settings > Business Hours). If a follow-up is due during quiet hours, it's held and delivered at the next available window. Your customers never get woken up by a chatbot.
Can I customize the follow-up messages?+
Follow-up messages are generated by GPT-5 based on the conversation context, so each one is personalized. The AI uses your configured tone and brand voice. You can influence the style through your AI instructions in Settings > AI Configuration.
