OneTwoAgent

Conversations, Manual Replies, and Auto Sales

OneTwoAgent has two conversation modes: Manual and Auto Sales. You can use both at the same time depending on the conversation.

How the two modes differ

  • Manual mode answers basic questions and keeps control with your team.
  • Auto Sales actively qualifies, guides, and moves the lead toward a conversion result.
  • You can run both modes at the same time across different conversations.

1) Manual mode

Manual mode is a safe assist mode.

  • Answers customer questions using your knowledge sources and saved materials.
  • Keeps replies simple and neutral.
  • Can include a light next step when relevant.
  • Does not run full sales qualification or structured discovery flow.
  • Does not run automated follow-ups.
  • Best when you want full sales control or mostly support-style conversations.

2) Auto Sales mode

Auto Sales behaves like a trained sales manager inside your chats.

  • Qualifies leads and asks short clarifying questions when needed.
  • Explains your offer in business-appropriate language.
  • Suggests suitable products or services and moves toward your selected conversion type.
  • Uses follow-ups if customer stops replying.
  • Can request feedback when lead is truly lost.
  • Can send booking or payment links when configured.
  • Can support availability and booking flows when calendar setup is connected.
Notes

3) How conversations move between stages

  • Auto Sales tracks what customer asked, what is already clarified, and what should happen next.
  • This helps avoid repeated follow-ups, irrelevant questions, and pushing after agreement.
  • Status tracking helps keep conversations clean when lead is active, paused, converted, or lost.

4) Switching between Manual and Auto

  • You can switch mode per conversation from the conversation header.
  • Switching affects this conversation going forward.
  • Existing conversations keep current mode unless you change them.
  • New conversations follow your default mode setting.
  • If Auto Sales is turned off for a conversation, sales actions and follow-ups stop there.

5) Notifications and no-guessing behavior

  • If information is missing or unreliable, the system should avoid inventing an answer.
  • Depending on context, it can ask a short clarification question or notify your team to take over.
  • This reduces risk of wrong pricing, wrong availability, and wrong service promises.

6) WhatsApp 24-hour messaging rule

  • Within 24 hours after customer last message: you can reply normally from dashboard.
  • Outside 24 hours: WhatsApp may restrict dashboard sending, and template flow may be required.
  • If needed, you can reply from WhatsApp Business app.
  • Read full channel details: /docs/whatsapp-business

7) Voice messages, images, and files

  • Voice messages can be processed and shown with transcript where available.
  • You can still listen to original voice messages in conversation.
  • Images and files can be used as context where supported.
  • Incoming files can be previewed inside conversation.

8) Temporary freeze so AI does not interrupt

  • When conversation needs human input, automated actions can pause.
  • You can manually pause or resume automation from conversation header.
  • Useful for sensitive, complex, or partnership conversations where human control is required.

Common questions

Can Manual and Auto Sales run at the same time?

Yes. OneTwoAgent can use both modes at the same time depending on the conversation and how you want the team to work.

When should I keep a conversation in Manual mode?

Manual is usually best when your team needs direct control, while Auto Sales is useful when you want the system to qualify, guide, and follow up automatically.
