Your AI Bot Chases Leads on WhatsApp.
You Focus on Closing.
Set a goal, pick a pace, choose business hours — the Gemini AI bot follows up every lead on WhatsApp automatically. No scripted templates, no manual scheduling. A real conversation, not a broadcast.
Most sales teams lose leads to silence
Rahul, a solar EPC owner in Rajkot, had 300 enquiries sitting in his CRM after a trade fair. His team of three called each one once, left a few WhatsApp messages, and gave up after 2 days. 80% of those leads never heard from them again.
The problem isn't the team's effort — it's that manual follow-up at scale is impossible. Every salesperson has 50 other leads to chase. The AI auto follow-up bot solves exactly this: it keeps following up on every lead, in every time zone, without forgetting.
How AI auto follow-up works
Set it once. The bot runs until the lead responds or the goal is achieved.
Set the goal
Tell the bot what you want — 'Book a demo', 'Get the client to share documents', 'Get them to visit the showroom'.
Choose tone & pace
Friendly or professional. Gentle / Balanced / Persistent pace preset. Pick the one that matches your sales style.
Configure business hours
Set your working days and hours. The bot holds messages outside those windows so you never disturb leads at night.
Bot follows up
The AI sends contextual messages, continues the conversation if the lead replies, and stops when the goal is met. Full activity log.
Three pace presets for every sales style
Not every product sells the same way. Match the follow-up intensity to your market.
Gentle
Longer gaps between messages. Low-pressure approach for high-value or long sales cycles.
Best for: Luxury real estate, B2B manufacturing enquiries
Balanced
Standard cadence. The default for most Indian SMB sales — follows up without being pushy.
Best for: Insurance leads, coaching admissions, solar enquiries
Persistent
Tighter intervals. Keeps following up until the lead responds or the goal is met.
Best for: Short-cycle retail leads, loan DSA, event registrations
Business-hours scheduling — no midnight messages
The AI bot respects your working hours. If a follow-up is due at 10 pm, it is held and sent the next morning when your leads are ready to read. You configure:
- Working days (Mon–Sat, Mon–Fri, or custom)
- Start time and end time for each day
- The bot queues any message outside that window
This matters for Indian businesses that often serve customers who are WhatsApp-active between 9 am and 8 pm. Sending at midnight increases block rates and signals spam.
Set the tone your customers expect
Friendly
Conversational, warm. Uses the lead's name. Suitable for consumer sales.
Professional
Formal, structured. Better for B2B or high-ticket enquiries.
Custom via Prompt Builder
Write your own tone in the system prompt — the AI follows it exactly.
Full activity log — see exactly what happened
Every follow-up action is recorded. No guessing whether the bot actually sent something.
- Scheduled — message queued for the next allowed window
- Sent — message delivered to the lead's WhatsApp
- Skipped — outside business hours, held for next window
- Stopped — lead replied or goal was met
- Failed — delivery error, with reason
The bot can also take CRM actions mid-conversation
Beyond sending messages, you can enable opt-in AI Actions so the bot updates the CRM while it's talking to the lead:
Records what the lead said in the CRM timeline automatically.
Moves the lead to 'Interested', 'Not interested', 'Follow up', etc.
Schedules a callback for the sales team if the lead asks to speak to a person.
Advances the lead to the next pipeline stage once a goal is met.
Each of these is opt-in — you decide which actions the bot is allowed to take.

Common questions about AI auto follow-up
What is WhatsApp AI auto follow-up?
WhatsApp AI auto follow-up is a feature where an AI bot (powered by Gemini) automatically sends follow-up messages to leads on WhatsApp — without any salesperson having to type or schedule each one. You set the goal (e.g. 'book a site visit'), tone (friendly or professional) and pace (gentle / balanced / persistent), and the bot follows up on its own, including respecting business hours so leads aren't messaged at midnight.
How is AI auto follow-up different from a WhatsApp broadcast?
A broadcast sends the same message to many contacts at once. AI auto follow-up is a one-to-one conversation: the bot tailors each message to that specific lead based on their context and your goal, continues the conversation if they reply, and stops once the goal is met. It's not a blast — it's a persistent, patient salesperson running in the background.
Can I control what time the bot sends messages?
Yes. The business-hours scheduling feature lets you set the working days and hours during which the bot is allowed to send messages. A follow-up that would otherwise go out at 11 pm is held until the next business morning. You also choose working-day patterns to match your team's schedule.
What pace presets does the bot support?
The AI auto follow-up has three pace presets: Gentle (spreads messages out, low-pressure), Balanced (the default for most Indian SMB sales), and Persistent (closer intervals, keeps pushing until there's a response). You pick the one that matches your sales style.
What happens if a lead replies?
The AI bot continues the conversation naturally in the same thread — answering questions from the knowledge base, taking opt-in CRM actions (add note, change status, create task, move lead stage), and following up again if needed. The full activity is logged: every message sent, skipped, stopped or failed, with reasons.
Is the AI auto follow-up available on all 3Sigma accounts?
The Gemini AI bot, including auto follow-up, is available on eligible 3Sigma accounts. It is org-gated — contact the 3Sigma team to check if your account qualifies. Once active, each AI message (including follow-up messages) consumes one credit from your prepaid wallet.
How is AI auto follow-up different from 3Sigma's standard WhatsApp sequence?
Standard WhatsApp sequences (drip campaigns) send pre-written template messages on a fixed schedule — no AI, no conversation. AI auto follow-up uses Gemini to write contextual messages and actually hold a conversation with the lead. Many teams use both: standard sequences for broadcast nurture, AI follow-up for warm leads that need a more personal touch.
