What it does

Keeps converting after the sales team logs off. When a visitor shows real buying intent and no rep is available, the bot pivots from "a rep will reply" to "let's get time on the calendar," reads live availability, and locks in a meeting before the prospect's interest cools.

When to use it

Your best chat conversations often happen at night or across time zones, and "we'll get back to you Monday" loses deals. Use this to capture meetings 24/7 without staffing chat around the clock.

How it works

  1. 1The chat widget posts a visitor message to the webhook with a flag for after-hours sessions.
  2. 2A logic step confirms intent is high and the current time falls outside staffed hours.
  3. 3The workflow reads free slots from the shared sales Google Calendar and the bot offers them in-chat.
  4. 4Once the visitor picks a time, a calendar event is created with both parties as attendees.
  5. 5Gmail sends a branded confirmation to the prospect and a heads-up to the assigned rep with the chat transcript attached.
