An AI chatbot that captures qualified leads from your website, 24/7

Two timing options, pick the one that fits your visitors. **Option 1 — Form before the conversation**: visitors fill name, email, phone before they can chat. Strictest — fewer chats, but every chat is a contact. If you also enable 'message', that text is forwarded to the chatbot as the first question. **Option 2 — Form after the first message**: visitor types their first question, sees their message appear in the chat. Instead of the chatbot's answer, the form raises. When submitted, they get the answer. Softer, higher conversions because visitor sees what they're getting before being asked. Most teams start with Option 2.

Yes — through the chatbot's instructions, written in plain English. You write something like "Before suggesting a discovery call, ask the visitor about their budget range, timeline, and team size. If budget is under $5,000, suggest a self-serve resource instead of a call." The chatbot reads that and follows it conversationally. There is no separate rule engine or if/then branching UI — the AI handles the conversation flow from your instructions. The structured form fields are name, email, phone, message; everything else lives in the chat transcript that lands in your inbox.

Today: dashboard CSV export, and an email notification per captured lead with the full conversation transcript. Most teams import the CSV into their CRM weekly, or copy-paste promising leads into HubSpot or Pipedrive as they come in. There is no native real-time CRM sync yet and no Zapier integration. Webhooks for real-time push are on the roadmap. If a tight CRM integration is a hard requirement for you today, this may not be the right tool yet — talk to us first.

Honest answer: no native integration with any of them, and no autoresponder/drip-campaign feature inside Simple Chat. The chatbot captures the lead and emails you the details; from there your existing email tool handles the follow-up. Most teams export the dashboard CSV weekly and import it into their nurture tool. If you need real-time push to your CRM, the workaround today is to forward the lead notification email to a parsing service. We hear this enough that webhooks are on the roadmap.

It does not have to. With "after first message" timing — which we recommend for most lead-gen sites — the visitor experiences value first: they ask their question, the chatbot starts answering, and only then does the form raise to ask "before I finish, what is your email so I can send you the full breakdown?" The visitor has already gotten a taste of the answer; trading their email for the rest is a fair exchange they understand. Compare that with a popup that demands an email before they read a word of your site.

Quick math. Typical B2B cost-per-lead from Google or LinkedIn ads sits in the $50–200 range depending on industry. If your site already gets 1,000 visitors a month (modest organic traffic), and the chatbot converts even 5% into qualified leads (50 leads), you are at roughly $1 per lead on a $50/month plan. Even at half that conversion rate, you are still 25–100x cheaper than paid acquisition. The leads are also pre-qualified by the chatbot, so your sales time per lead drops too. Every business is different — the free trial is the honest way to find out what your numbers look like.

Yes. Cancel from the dashboard, no obligations of any kind. The chatbot keeps working until the end of your billing month, and you can export your conversations and leads from the dashboard anytime your account exists. Your data stays yours.
