Lead-generation chatbot
Answer visitor questions and turn intent into qualified follow-up
A useful lead-generation chatbot should earn the conversation before asking for contact details. Ask My Bot answers from your approved content, detects meaningful intent, and can collect the structured details your team needs to continue the conversation.
Move beyond a static contact form
Answer before asking
Resolve questions about services, pricing, fit, policies, menus, events, or next steps so the visitor receives value before seeing a follow-up request.
Collect useful context
Capture email or phone plus bot-specific details such as company, timeline, service, booking date, budget, order items, or other qualification fields.
Give the team a usable record
Review lead records with conversation context and qualification signals, or forward leads through webhooks on Business and Scale plans.
How conversational lead capture works
Step 1
Train helpful answers
Add the service, product, pricing, policy, and process information prospects need before they are ready to contact you.
Step 2
Define lead details
Configure required and optional custom fields that match the real handoff process instead of collecting generic data you will not use.
Step 3
Publish publicly
Share the bot page or install the website widget where visitors research, compare, book, request a quote, or ask for help.
Step 4
Review and route
Use Leads on Pro and higher, or webhooks on Business and Scale, to move qualified conversations into follow-up workflows.
A strong fit for
- Consultants and agencies qualifying service inquiries.
- Restaurants collecting catering, event, reservation, or large-order details.
- Creators handling collaboration, speaking, sponsorship, or booking requests.
- Small businesses turning product and service questions into relevant follow-up.
Avoid weak lead experiences
- Do not request every possible field before answering the visitor's question.
- Mark fields required only when the downstream workflow truly needs them.
- Keep pricing, availability, and service information current so qualification starts from accurate answers.
- Use Live API data when qualification depends on current schedules, inventory, or availability.
Frequently asked questions
How does Ask My Bot capture leads?
During relevant public conversations, the bot can request contact information and configured details. Captured records include conversation context and a reference ID for follow-up.
What information can the chatbot collect?
Generic capture accepts an email address or phone number. Bot owners can also define custom required or optional fields such as company, budget, service, date, table number, or order items.
Which plans include Leads?
Pro and higher plans include Leads. Business and Scale also support lead webhook forwarding.
Do private bots capture visitor leads?
No. Lead-capture prompts are disabled for private bots because their purpose is approved-user access rather than anonymous visitor conversion.
