  1. 1.Submit a test form on your website using a real email/phone number
  2. 2.Check that you receive a reply within 5-10 seconds
  3. 3.Respond to the AI's questions to test the conversation flow

Common Setup Issues and Solutions

Issue: Webhook Not Receiving Data

Solution: Verify the webhook URL is correctly pasted in your form settings. Check that your form builder supports webhooks (most modern builders do). Test the webhook URL using a tool like webhook.site to ensure it's receiving data.

Issue: Replies Not Sending

Solution: Check your response message configuration in Boltcall. Ensure your email/SMS settings are verified. Check spam folders—initial test messages sometimes go to spam.

Issue: Facebook/Google Ads Not Connecting

Solution: Ensure you're using an admin account for your ad platform. Clear browser cache and try reconnecting. Check that you've granted all necessary permissions during authorization.

Best Practices for Instant Lead Reply

  • Personalize messages: Use the lead's name and reference their specific inquiry
  • Keep it conversational: Write responses that sound natural, not robotic
  • Ask qualifying questions: Use AI to automatically qualify leads before they reach your team
  • Enable multi-channel: Respond via email, SMS, and phone to reach leads on their preferred channel
  • Monitor and optimize: Review response rates and adjust messages based on what works
  • Set up notifications: Get alerts when high-value leads come in so you can follow up personally

You're All Set!

Setting up instant lead reply with Boltcall typically takes 1-2 hours from start to finish. Once configured, every lead from your website, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, or other sources will receive an instant reply within seconds.

The system works automatically 24/7, ensuring no lead ever waits for a response. You'll see qualified leads appear in your dashboard, and you can focus on closing deals instead of chasing down inquiries.
