AI connector use case · Automations

Set an after-hours auto-reply

Ask the AI to make an automation that answers messages outside your opening hours, so customers know you saw them and when you will reply.

  • Changes on
AFTER-HOURS REPLY: Set the overnight window; Write the closed message; Customers know when you are back

The prompt

Copy this into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

Make an automation with a time window from 18:00 to 09:00, every day, that answers: "Thanks for your message! We're closed now and will reply first thing in the morning." Answer each chat only once.

Change the names, times and amounts to your own.
  • Changes on: Switch on “Let Claude change my InboxCRM (create, edit, delete)” on the same tab.

Step by step

How to do it

What you get: No one waits all night wondering if you saw their message.

  1. 1Switch on changes in InboxCRM.
  2. 2Paste the prompt with your closed hours (an overnight window such as 18:00 to 09:00 works) and your message.
  3. 3Test it from another phone outside your hours.
  4. 4Leave the computer on with WhatsApp Web open for it to answer.

Tips

  • Mention your hours in the reply.
  • Add a link to your price list so they can browse meanwhile.

Watch out

Automations only run while your computer is on and WhatsApp Web is open.
