Auto Sales in OneTwoAgent
Auto Sales lets OneTwoAgent handle customer conversations automatically while you stay in control and can switch any chat to Manual at any moment.
What Auto Sales can do
- Understand what the customer wants and ask clarifying questions.
- Answer common questions about your business, products, and services.
- Discuss pricing using your catalog and the rules you configured.
- Guide customers toward booking, order, call, meeting, or another conversion goal.
- Send follow-ups when a customer goes silent.
- Notify your team when the assistant is not confident and you should take over.
- Auto Sales works from your setup and catalog data. If information is missing or unclear, it should avoid guessing and hand over to your team.
Step 1. Choose Auto Sales mode
Go to Conversations -> Sales Funnel and choose Auto for new conversations.
- 1Open Conversations.
- 2Open Sales Funnel.
- 3Switch mode to Auto.
- Auto Sales applies to new conversations after it is enabled.
- Existing conversations can stay Manual unless you switch them.
Step 2. Complete Sales Setup
During setup, define the basics so the assistant can speak in your business context.
- Business type and what you sell.
- Conversion goal: booking, online order, call/meeting, store visit, or talk to sales.
- Pricing format and conditions: fixed price, from price, range, or price on request.
- Fulfillment details where relevant: delivery, lead time, made-to-order, and availability logic.
Step 3. Add a catalog
For best results, add a catalog with at least 3 items before you rely on Auto Sales.
- Import from website URL.
- Import from Google Sheets or Google Docs.
- Import from file upload.
- Add items manually in the Catalog table.
- Sources are combined into your catalog workspace so replies stay consistent across channels.
How catalog sync works
- When you import new data later, matching items are updated.
- New items are added.
- Duplicates are reduced where possible.
- Manual values you added in OneTwoAgent (for example payment links) should be kept when source data is empty.
- If source data is messy, results can still be imperfect. After import, quickly review your table and fix incorrect fields.
What happens after catalog is added
- With at least 3 items, Auto Sales can answer product and pricing questions more accurately.
- Sales flow becomes more specific to your business rules and catalog structure.
- You usually get fewer handoff situations because the assistant has enough data.
- If catalog data is missing, the assistant should avoid guessing and notify you to reply manually.
Switching between Auto and Manual
You have both global mode control and conversation-level control.
- You can switch any conversation to Manual at any time.
- Manual means your team replies directly from Conversations.
- Global mode mostly affects new conversations.
- You can override behavior per conversation whenever needed.
Follow-ups and lost customer feedback
- Auto Sales can send follow-ups if a customer goes silent.
- Final feedback messages are intended for genuinely lost conversations, not active decision periods.
- If customer says stop or not interested, automated messaging should stop.
- If situation is unclear, it is safer to pause and notify your team.
- Keep follow-ups paced and limited to avoid customer fatigue.
WhatsApp note (24-hour rule)
- Free-form WhatsApp replies are allowed only within 24 hours after the customer last messaged.
- After 24 hours, outbound automation may require approved template messages.
- If template path is unavailable, the system should not send free-form messages and should notify your team.
- You can still reply from the WhatsApp Business app when needed.
Voice messages, images, and files
- Voice messages can be transcribed and used to build a reply.
- Images and files can be used as extra context for understanding the request.
- Your team can view original content inside Conversations.
When you get notified instead of an AI reply
- Missing or unclear pricing information.
- Unclear customer request or unusual edge case.
- Missing availability data or policy conflict.
- Any case where confident response is not possible.
- This behavior is intentional and helps protect your business reputation.
Tips for best conversion
- Use real product names and clear pricing rules in catalog.
- If price depends on options (size, material, configuration), include those drivers.
- Add booking/payment links per item where relevant.
- Review catalog after every import, especially when source pages are complex.

Common questions
Can Auto Sales hand a conversation back to a human?
Yes. Auto Sales can notify your team and you can switch any conversation to Manual when you need direct human control.
Does Auto Sales only answer questions, or can it drive conversions too?
It can do both. Auto Sales answers common questions, qualifies the lead, guides the customer toward a booking or another goal, and follows up when the customer goes silent.
