Section 1: General Settings

General Settings in SendWo

Human Chat Email & No Match Reply

  • Human Chat Email: Whenever a user requests human assistance, an instant email notification is sent. It ensures that no chat goes unanswered.
  • No Match Reply: It sets up an automated message that triggers when the bot doesnโ€™t understand a query. Perfect for keeping conversations active even when thereโ€™s no keyword match.
  • Response Frequency: It allows you to choose how often to send fallback messages, either every time or once per day, to avoid spammy repetition.

Section 2: Business Hour Settings

This step controls when your bot should stay active and when it should be disabled/in sleep mode.

a. Timezone

Set your preferred timezone. This ensures that all the scheduled messages and automations are perfectly aligned to your audienceโ€™s location.

b. Off Day

During these days, your bot will automatically pause replies or be in disabled mode. You can select your weekly off day, like Sunday or a public holiday. 

c.  Start & End Time + Toggle

Define daily working hours and enable โ€œDisable Bot Reply Outside Business Hoursโ€.

Section 3: Shared Inbox Signature Message

Inbox Signature Message

a. Enable Signature Message

Toggle this ON and you can add your default signature message. Example:

โ€œThanks for reaching out! โ€“ Team SendWoโ€

It gives your replies a professional look, giving a human touch.

b. Additional Toggles

  • Bot Reply Disable: Bot auto-replies are prevented when your agents/team are typing manually.
  • Typing Indicator: Displays a โ€œtypingโ€ฆโ€ signal while a team member composes a message, adding a realistic human touch.

Section 4: Auto Responder (New)

Automatically push collected emails and leads to external email platforms without manual export.

SendWo supports:

  • Mailchimp
  • Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)
  • ActiveCampaign
  • Mautic

Simply enter your list ID or API credentials, and SendWo will automatically sync new subscribers to your preferred mailing list, keeping your CRM always updated.

Section 5: Email Automation (New)

Convert WhatsApp leads into email conversations automatically.

  • Email Profile: Choose your preferred email configuration (e.g., your business domain email).
  • Subject & Content: This part ensures that messages are personalized with dynamic variables like {{first_name}} or {{email}}.
  • Instant Trigger: Automatically send an email when a user shares their email address in chat.

Section 6: SMS Automation (New)

Expand your reach with instant SMS responses to collected phone numbers.

  • SMS Profile: Select your active SMS gateway provider.
  • SMS Content: Use merge tags to personalize messages (e.g., โ€œHi {{first_name}}, thanks for connecting!โ€).
  • Trigger Point: Once the user submits their number in the conversation, it automatically sends an SMS.

Section 7: SMS Sequence (New)

Set up multi-day follow-up campaigns directly from your SendWo dashboard.

  • Select your SMS profile.
  • Choose a drip sequence, for e.g., you can take, Day 1: Intro, Day 3: Offer, Day 5: Reminder.
  • Automate nurturing without lifting a finger.

This consistently leads to engagement and higher conversion rates without constant manual tracking.

By setting up these configurations once, your brand can operate on autopilot, engage leads smartly, and never miss a message again.

Yes. Both automations can run independently and trigger based on the data a user shares during a conversation.

3. Will the no-match message keep sending repeatedly?

No. You can set the frequency, either once per day or every time an unmatched query occurs.

4. Whatโ€™s the difference between Auto Responder and Email Automation?

Auto Responder: Syncs collected emails to third-party tools like Mailchimp.
Email Automation: Sends an actual email message directly to the user.
