Follow up with leads

Chats → Leads: see the visitors who left their email but didn’t book, read what they asked, email them, and copy a follow-up list for your CRM or email tool.

A lead is a visitor who left their email in the chat. The ones who didn’t go on to book are waiting for you: Chats → Leads lists them, newest first, with what they asked.

Chats with the Leads view: leads who haven’t booked, newest first, with Copy follow-up list at the top of the list and the open chat on the right.
  1. Open your leads

    In Chats, switch the view at the top of the list to Leads. Home’s Needs your attention links here too, with Review leads, and Search offers Leads to follow up.

Good to know

  • Leads drop out of this view once they book a meeting.
  • Darwin doesn’t email leads for you, and opening a chat doesn’t contact the visitor.
  • The list holds your most recent chats. Search for an older lead by name or email.
  • To send every new lead to your CRM as it arrives, use Zapier.
  • Before reaching out, check your calendar: a lead may have booked even if Darwin didn’t record it. See A booking is missing.
