Reply Management — every response lands in the right workflow
AI reads every email reply, detects intent and routes the lead — no more manual triage.
What is Automate Reply Handling?
Reply handling is the automated processing of inbound responses to outbound sequences. An AI classifies each reply by intent (interested, not now, wrong person, out-of-office) and triggers the matching next step — from booking a meeting to pausing the sequence.
In classic outbound setups, 40% of positive replies get buried in overflowing inboxes. Amplifa reads every reply, assigns a category, drafts a personalized follow-up or notifies the rep on Slack. Out-of-office replies automatically reschedule sequences for the stated duration. Negative replies cleanly remove the contact and mark them in the CRM.
How to set up this workflow
- 01 — Connect inbox. Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 — read + send permission.
- 02 — Define reply categories. Interested, later, wrong person, declined, OOO — one follow-up action per category.
- 03 — Set AI language. Replies are drafted in German or English depending on the inbound language.
- 04 — Rep approval (optional). AI drafts go to the rep's Slack approval channel before sending.
What you get
- No interested lead falls through the cracks
- Response time of 3 minutes instead of 2 days
- OOO replies cleanly pause sequences
- CRM status updates automatically
Typical use cases
- 100+ sequence replies per week. AI pre-sorts; rep handles only the 20% positive replies manually.
- Out-of-office wave during holiday season. Sequences auto-pause until return date, then resume automatically.
- Wrong contact person. AI detects 'please contact …' and triggers re-targeting.

Yes, natively. Reply language is auto-detected.
