Direct Answer (TL;DR)
Brilo AI can send an automatic SMS to a visitor after they complete a voice widget conversation when you enable a post-call SMS follow-up. The Widget SMS Follow-Up After Conversation feature lets Brilo AI trigger an SMS based on the voice widget’s end event, visitor consent state, and routing rules you configure. You can route follow-ups through your CRM or a webhook endpoint so messages are sent only when consent and business rules are satisfied. This reduces manual outreach while keeping control over timing, content, and escalation.
Can Brilo AI text a visitor after a widget call? — Yes. When enabled, Brilo AI triggers an SMS after the widget session ends if the visitor is opted in and the configured rules allow it.
Will Brilo AI send SMS for every widget conversation? — No. SMS delivery follows your event triggers, consent checks, and routing rules.
Can I change the follow-up message content? — Yes. Brilo AI supports templated and dynamic SMS content based on the call transcript and captured fields.
Why This Question Comes Up (problem context)
Buyers ask this because web voice widgets are a common first touch and teams want automated, timely follow-up without manual intervention. Enterprises need confidence that any SMS follow-up meets opt-in rules, ties back to their CRM, and preserves audit trails for regulated sectors (healthcare, banking, insurance). People also want to ensure follow-ups are intelligent — for example, only send SMS if the call resulted in a qualified lead, a booked appointment, or a request for documents.
How It Works (High-Level)
When Widget SMS Follow-Up After Conversation is enabled, Brilo AI listens for the voice widget session end event and evaluates configured rules. If rules pass — for example, the visitor has consented to SMS and the call outcome matches a target disposition — Brilo AI fires a follow-up workflow that sends an SMS using your configured delivery channel (your SMS provider via webhook or an integrated messaging route). The follow-up content can include dynamic fields pulled from the call transcript, captured form fields, or CRM records.
In Brilo AI, an event trigger is the configured condition that tells the system to run a follow-up workflow after a voice widget session ends.
In Brilo AI, a voice widget session is the full interaction between a website visitor and a Brilo AI voice agent embedded on your site.
In Brilo AI, consent state is the stored visitor permission flag used to determine whether SMS follow-up is allowed.
Guardrails & Boundaries
Consent checks: SMS is sent only when an explicit consent flag is present or when the capture flow records opt-in during the widget session.
Rate and frequency controls: Follow-ups can be limited by per-visitor rules to avoid repeated messages.
Disposition-based sending: You can restrict SMS to specific call outcomes (for example, “booked appointment” or “requires follow-up”).
Content limits: Templates can be sanitized to remove PHI or other sensitive items when you configure the content policy.
In Brilo AI, human handoff is the workflow action that routes the call or follow-up to a live agent or a downstream system for manual processing when predefined escalation conditions are met.
Applied Examples
Healthcare example: After a patient finishes a triage voice widget, Brilo AI can send an SMS confirmation with a non-sensitive appointment confirmation and a link to an appointment portal — only when the patient explicitly consented to SMS during the widget session. Do not use SMS to transmit protected health information (PHI) unless your own policies and systems support protected channels.
Banking example: After a prospect completes a mortgage qualification widget, Brilo AI can send an SMS with a safe next-step reminder and request to schedule a call. The follow-up is limited to non-sensitive summary information and uses the CRM record to attach the activity.
Insurance example: After a claims-intake widget, Brilo AI can trigger an SMS to confirm receipt and provide a case ID, provided the visitor agreed to text notifications and the message content follows your internal compliance rules.
Human Handoff & Escalation
Immediate handoff: If the voice widget collects a high-priority intent (for example, “urgent claim”), the workflow can place a warm handoff to a live agent and suppress the automated SMS.
Post-call escalation: If the call disposition is “needs human review,” Brilo AI can create a CRM task or call a webhook to alert an operations queue and then send a conditional SMS acknowledging the escalation.
Fallback: If SMS delivery fails, Brilo AI can retry via configured policies or enqueue a human follow-up task in your CRM.
These handoffs are configurable so the decision to send SMS can depend on whether human review occurred, whether an agent answered, or whether an escalation ticket was created.
Setup Requirements
Configure: Enable post-call event triggers for your Brilo AI voice widget in the widget settings.
Provide: Supply the SMS template(s) and define dynamic fields (e.g., name, appointment time) used in follow-ups.
Verify: Ensure you capture and store visitor consent during the widget session.
Integrate: Point Brilo AI to your SMS delivery path — either your webhook endpoint or your CRM message channel.
Map: Define disposition-to-SMS routing rules so only desired call outcomes trigger messages.
Test: Run end-to-end tests for delivery, failure handling, and audit logging before going live.
Monitor: Enable call transcripts and delivery logs to validate follow-up behavior and for audit purposes.
Business Outcomes
Faster acknowledgement: Visitors receive immediate confirmations or next-step instructions without manual agent work.
Cleaner routing: SMS follow-ups are consistent with call dispositions, reducing duplicate outreach and missed leads.
Better auditability: Follow-ups tied to the widget session, call transcript, and CRM record create a single source of truth for regulated reviews.
Controlled automation: Configurable rules and consent checks let you automate at scale while preserving compliance posture.
FAQs
Can Brilo AI send SMS without visitor consent?
No. Brilo AI requires a recorded consent state before sending SMS follow-ups. You must capture and store opt-in during the widget session or through an upstream consent record.
Can SMS content include call transcript excerpts?
Yes, when configured. Brilo AI can inject templated excerpts from the call transcript into follow-up messages, but you should avoid including sensitive personal or health information unless your downstream channel supports protected transmission.
What happens if an SMS fails to deliver?
Brilo AI can be configured to retry delivery or create a CRM follow-up task or webhook alert so a human agent can address delivery failures. Failure-handling policies are part of the workflow configuration.
Can I limit SMS sends to certain countries or numbers?
Yes. Use routing and validation rules in Brilo AI to restrict follow-ups by country, number type, or business rule. This is a setup-time configuration in the widget and routing policies.
Will SMS follow-ups be recorded for audits?
Yes. Brilo AI can associate follow-up events with the original voice widget session and keep delivery logs for audit purposes as part of the interaction record.
