Configuration

Tune localbot handoff, follow-up behavior, and form text through the dashboard.

Configuration controls what localbot should learn before handoff. The goal is not to reject reachable leads by default. The goal is to help the owner call back with useful context.

Alert timing

Default mode sends the owner an instant SMS alert, then localbot gathers missing details when useful and prepares the handoff summary.

Configurable mode gathers details first and alerts the owner later with more context.

Do not use configuration to remove localbot's handoff work. The owner should still receive useful callback context.

Handoff behavior

Use localbot settings to keep the callback summary focused on the details the owner needs before calling back:

  • who submitted the inquiry
  • what they need
  • how urgent it seems
  • which details localbot gathered after the first inquiry
  • whether the owner should take over

localbot form text fields

Go to Dashboard > Lead source to customize these fields:

FieldDefaultDescription
HeadingOta yhteyttäThe main title above the form
SubtextVastaamme mahdollisimman pian.Description text below the heading
Button textLähetäThe submit button label
Success headingKiitos yhteydenotostasi!Title shown after successful submission
Success textOlemme sinuun yhteydessä pian.Message shown after successful submission

Changes take effect within 5 minutes because the form script is cached for 300 seconds.

localbot form placement

By default, localbot appends the contact form to the bottom of your page. To control where it appears, add a target div:

<div id="localbot-contact"></div>

The localbot form will render inside this div instead of appending to the body.

Form fields

The localbot form collects three fields from visitors:

  • Name (required)
  • Phone or email (required)
  • Message (required)

These fields are not currently customizable. Submissions feed the same localbot workflow: owner SMS alert, missing-detail follow-up when useful, and handoff summary.

Styling

The localbot form uses its own isolated styles and does not inherit from your website's CSS. The default appearance is a clean white card with rounded corners that works well on most websites.
