How it works:

Step 1: Configure inbound lead capture

Under Workflows, select Inbound Follow-up. Set up triggers for form submissions including demo requests, content downloads, and contact forms. Sona immediately captures form data and begins enriching leads with company information, technographics, and contact details.

Step 2: Analyze context and buying intent

AI Agents analyzes multiple signals to understand lead context including which content or pages drove conversion, company stage, recent funding, competitive landscape and solution gaps, and urgency indicators from form responses and website behavior.

Step 3: Generate personalized outreach content

Based on analysis, Sona creates tailored follow-up emails featuring specific references to conversion-driving content, value propositions matched to company profile, relevant social proof from similar organizations, and next steps aligned with their buying stage.

Step 4: Execute automated sequence

Personalized emails can be queued for review or they can be automatically sent through your sales engagement platform with follow-up sequences customized by industry pain points, company size and growth stage, engagement patterns and response behavior, and preferred communication channels.
