Common questions

How do I turn on AI reply suggestions for my customer messages?

In Pludor, go to Outreach & CRM > Inbox and enable AI replies. Suggestions then appear on each conversation, and you can edit them before sending. It works across all your connected channels like WhatsApp, SMS and email.

How does auto-send work so AI replies to customers without me?

Auto-Send is an optional toggle you switch on once you trust the AI's suggested replies. When it's on, the AI replies to conversations automatically based on your store data. You should still check conversations daily and review Auto-Send regularly.

Is it safe to let AI reply to my customers automatically?

It's reasonably safe if you review the replies first before enabling Auto-Send, since suggestions are based on your store data and the conversation. Start with manual approval, then turn on Auto-Send once you trust the output. Keep monitoring conversations daily even after switching it on.

How much does Pludor AI Replies cost?

It's included on every store, including the Free plan at $0. Each month you get 100 AI replies free; past that you pay only for what you use in credits, where 1 credit equals 1 cent. New stores also get 500 free credits to start.

Can AI reply to my WhatsApp, SMS and email messages in one place?

Yes. Connect your channels under Channels in the Operations menu, and every conversation from WhatsApp, SMS, email and chat lands in one Inbox, newest first. AI reply suggestions and Auto-Send work across all connected channels.

What's the best way to start using AI replies without losing control of my customer service?

Start with suggestions only: enable AI replies, edit and approve each one yourself before sending. Only toggle on Auto-Send once you've seen enough replies you're happy with. Checking conversations daily keeps you in control the whole time.

How is Pludor's AI inbox different from HubSpot or GoHighLevel?

On Pludor, the store and inbox are the same system, so conversations, leads, orders and campaigns share one customer record and the inbox knows the orders natively. Things like COD reminders and post-delivery follow-ups that usually need custom workflows are ready-made nudges. Pricing is included in store plans rather than per-seat or per-contact tiers.

Do I need to write my own reply templates too?

You can, but you don't have to. In Pludor, go to Outreach & CRM > Templates and press Add Defaults for a starter set, then write your own with placeholders if you need more. Templates can be used in replies, orders and campaigns, and AI suggestions handle the rest.

What do I need before I can use AI replies on Pludor?

Just a Pludor store, which is free to create at pludor.com/setup - no card needed. Once your store exists, open the Inbox and enable AI replies. Connect channels like WhatsApp or email if you want messages from those to flow in too.

Are there any limits or downsides to AI auto-replies I should know about?

The replies are based on your store data and the conversation, so they're only as good as the context they have - review Auto-Send regularly. Beyond the 100 free AI replies each month, extra replies cost credits (1 credit = 1 cent). Your store and checkout never switch off for lack of credits.
