How to configure re-engagement

Set up campaigns that automatically reach out to lapsed leads.

Re-engagement campaigns contact leads who have gone silent after an initial interaction. When a customer stops responding, the system waits a configured period and then sends a follow-up to re-open the conversation.

Set up re-engagement

Go to Reach from the sidebar.
Select the Re-Engagement tab.
Toggle re-engagement On to activate the feature.
Configure the Inactivity Period — how long to wait after the customer's last message before re-engaging (e.g., 3 days, 1 week).
Set the Channel — SMS, Email, or both.
Click Save.

How re-engagement works

  1. A customer has an initial conversation but stops responding.
  2. The system monitors for the configured inactivity period.
  3. After the period expires, the AI sends a re-engagement message.
  4. If the customer replies, a new live conversation begins.
  5. If the customer doesn't reply, no further messages are sent (respecting their silence).

Re-engagement vs. follow-up

FeatureFollow-UpRe-Engagement

TimingFixed schedule from first contactBased on last customer activity
GoalNurture new leadsRecover lapsed leads
FrequencyMulti-step sequenceTypically one message

Re-engagement only fires once per conversation. If the customer doesn't respond to the re-engagement message, the system won't send additional attempts.

You can also enable appointment reminders that automatically remind customers of upcoming scheduled appointments:

In the Re-Engagement tab, find the Appointment Reminders section.
Toggle reminders On.
Set the Reminder Timing — how far in advance to send (e.g., 24 hours before).
Save your changes.

Tips

  • Set the inactivity period long enough to avoid feeling pushy (3–7 days is typical).
  • Re-engagement messages should offer something new — a price drop, new inventory, or a simple "Still looking?" check-in.
  • Monitor conversion rates in Analytics to find the optimal inactivity period.
  • Combine with Follow-Up sequences for a complete lead nurturing strategy.
