Automating AI SDR Responses with Delay in Clay for Smartlead Integration

·
·

Hello everyone, I have created an AI SDR on Clay that automatically responds to all the replies I receive from Smartlead. Here’s how the workflow works, and then I’ll explain my issue: Response in Smartlead is sent via webhook to Clay → Conversation and reply message are analyzed to qualify the lead → Phone number is extracted from the email if present → AI-SDR generated response is drafted → Response is sent from Clay via the Smartlead API → Data is sent to a Google Sheet. Currently, I have a verification step to manually validate the AI SDR-generated responses so I can modify them and adjust the prompt. But the prompt is getting really good now, so I’m planning to remove this verification step to fully automate the process. Do you know if it’s possible to add a delay before the response is sent via the Smartlead API? Because if I can’t set a delay, the person will receive a reply the second they respond to my email, which might seem strange. So I’d like to introduce a 3 to 5-minute delay before sending the response. Do you know if this is possible on Clay? :)

    catch the webhook somewhere else and then send it to clay after your desired delay

    You can use Relay to set up a webhook, introduce a delay, and then send the email.

    Amit S. Great, I'll check that out, thanks! Do you know of an AI agent tool to manage LinkedIn campaign responses?

    Relay can do that as well.
