What you get with each lead
Every lead this template collects appears in your Alma leads inbox with the answers the visitor gave and these tags, so you can sort and follow up: job_applicant, screening_complete. Alma emails you when a new lead arrives. On the Growth plan and up you can also send leads to other software through Zapier, and the Agency plan adds webhooks.
Questions your flow does not cover
A template answers the paths it was built for. To answer other questions in the visitor's own words, add AI answering for $25 a month: it replies from business information you provide as text, which the Alma team loads into your bot. The article on how a knowledge base chatbot works explains what to write.
