Common questions

What are Pludor AI Missions or Automation Journeys?

They're a tool where you describe your business goal in plain language and AI designs an automation workflow for you. You pick one of three starter journeys - The Local Pro, The Influencer or The Retail Brand - refine the mission in your own words, then review and activate the proposed workflow.

How do I set up an AI Mission step by step?

Open pludor.com/answering, choose a journey (The Local Pro, The Influencer or The Retail Brand), then describe your goal in your own words. Review the workflow the AI proposes and press Save & Activate Workflow. Your recent missions are listed so you can go back and review them anytime.

How much do Pludor AI Missions cost?

They're on for every store, including the Free plan, with 200 automation runs free each month. After that you pay 1 credit per 10 runs, and 1 credit equals 1 cent. New stores also get 500 free credits to start.

Do I need a paid plan to use Automation Journeys?

No - it's included on the Free plan with a free amount every month. You only pay for what you use past the free amounts, and your store never switches off for lack of credit. Paid plans like Starter or Growth are just optional bundles of credits with bigger free amounts.

How is this different from building automations in n8n or Make myself?

With n8n, GoHighLevel, ManyChat or Klaviyo you typically handle setup and multiple subscriptions yourself. Pludor's AI Missions design the workflow for you from a plain-language description, and it connects directly to your store's orders, leads and customer messaging. You review the proposed workflow and activate it in one click.

How do I add automation rules for orders and follow-ups alongside a mission?

In Pludor, open Automation Rules from the Management menu and pick a trigger like new order, new lead, missed call or delivered order. Then choose an action such as sending a template, adding a tag or creating a nudge. Test it with a test order or lead, and check Failed in Outreach for any undelivered messages.

Can I auto-reply to comments with keywords on my social posts?

Yes - connect your social accounts, then go to Management > Automation Rules and create a flow with a comment trigger and your keywords. Write the reply text and optionally target a specific post, then press Create Automation. It runs automatically whenever someone comments a keyword.

What are the limitations of AI Missions I should know about?

There are three starter journeys to choose from: The Local Pro, The Influencer and The Retail Brand. Automation runs are free up to 200 per month, then cost 1 credit per 10 runs. Everything else - store, checkout and orders - keeps running regardless.

Is it safe to let AI build automations for my business?

You stay in control: the AI only proposes a workflow, and nothing goes live until you review it and press Save & Activate. You can also test rules with a test order or lead before relying on them, and recent missions stay listed so you can review what was created.

How do I get an AI receptionist to answer calls and chats too?

Go to pludor.com/answering, add your hours, service area, prices and common questions in Settings, and list each service with its duration and price. Pick a voice and greeting, test it with the call-yourself demo, then forward your calls - every call, text and booking lands in a unified Inbox and Calendar. The first 100 AI replies and 10 calls a month are free.
