Ten ways to keep replies thoughtful

Welcome messages

A quick hello. A human when it matters.

A short welcome can confirm a first message and set expectations, then invite the customer to share what they need.

First message · prepared welcome

Thanks for reaching out. Our team has your message—what can we help with?

Example copy · not a live message

Follow-up timers

A thoughtful nudge, never a runaway thread.

After a chosen stretch of inactivity, a prepared follow-up can check in. An agent can pause or override it, and customers have an opt-out.

Example follow-up

Still need a hand? Reply here and our team can help. Reply STOP to opt out.

After inactivityAgent may pause

Hours and availability

Replies that respect your hours.

Outside business hours, acknowledge the message or queue it for later, so customers know when a person can respond.

Keyword replies

Handle familiar questions with prepared answers.

A defined keyword can trigger a pre-approved reply to a common question, with a clear way to reach a person for anything more.

Compliance controls

Every rule meets the same non-negotiable gates.

Consent and applicable sending restrictions are checked before an automation can send. These safeguards are enforced, not optional switches.

Exact, contains, and pattern keyword matching

Choose how closely a message must match.

Match an exact phrase, find a phrase within a message, or recognize a defined pattern such as an order number.

STOP and unsubscribe handling

STOP means stop. No human override.

An unsubscribe request halts further automated and promotional messages for that contact. The request is recorded, and agents cannot override it.

Unsubscribe received

Example STOP request

Automated sending halted

The request is recorded. No agent override.

START and resubscribe handling

A clear, recorded way to say hello again.

A customer can ask to resubscribe with START or RESUBSCRIBE; a confirmation clarifies intent before messaging resumes.

START
Confirm the request

You asked to hear from us again. This example shows a confirmation step before messaging resumes.

Consent event recorded

Automatic conversation closure

Close resolved threads. Leave the door open.

Useful automation, human judgment

Let the routine run. Keep people in charge.

These are defined triggers and prepared replies—not AI-generated conversation modes. Your team stays close, and consent safeguards stay in force.

Consent controls remain in force across automated sends.
