The classification step
Every reply gets classified into one of these buckets:
Classification runs in ~2 seconds per reply. You’ll see the classification badge on every task in the Inbox.
The drafting step
If the classification triggered a draft (interested / question / not_now / etc.), Guhan writes a response using:- The prospect’s original message (what they said)
- The full conversation history
- Your Brand & Voice settings
- The product being pitched
- The prospect’s research brief
- Is 2-4 sentences typical
- Matches your tone
- Answers what they asked
- Suggests the next step (meeting, next email, more info)
Where to configure this
On the Campaign’s Settings tab — you can set the workspace-wide default AND override per Campaign:AI drafts + auto-send
Guhan writes the response + sends it without asking. Safest for confirmed follow-ups (they said yes, you’re just replying “great, let me send you a link”). Risky for anything requiring judgment.
AI drafts + hand off
Guhan writes the response + creates an Approve task. You read + approve OR edit + approve. Recommended default — you stay in control without doing the writing.
Always hand off
Guhan classifies the reply but writes nothing. Creates a Take-over task with a “Reply here” button. Best for high-touch sales or high-stakes accounts.
AI reply nodes on the sequence canvas
You can also set this per-step by dropping an AI reply node on the sequence canvas. Configure:- Send for approval — hand off vs auto-send (per this node)
- Max consecutive replies — how many rounds Guhan handles before mandatory handoff (default: 1)
- Loop wait between replies — 48h / 72h / etc. (how long to wait for their next reply)
- Outgoing edges — where the flow goes after N rounds
Approving a draft
Task detail → the draft is shown in an editor. You can:- Approve as-is → sends immediately
- Edit → Approve → your changes get sent
- Discard + write your own → free-form reply
When Guhan won’t draft
Some replies always go to Take-over (regardless of your settings):- Long / complex replies — over 500 characters, Guhan pauses
- Technical questions — pricing, integrations, security — high-stakes, judgment-heavy
- Angry / rude replies — human handling required
- Multiple people on the thread — group replies need context
Cost
Each AI reply draft = 1 credit. Doesn’t matter if you approve or discard — the credit is spent on generation. Classification is free. Rough budget: 1 credit per reply your sequence generates. If your sequence gets a 5% reply rate on 500 sends, that’s 25 drafts = 25 credits.Related
