Replit + localbot

Add localbot lead response to your Replit project

Paste one prompt. localbot can receive existing form emails or leads from the localbot form, alert the owner by SMS, follow up for missing details, and prepare the callback.

Why your Replit project needs SMS lead alerts

Harvard Business Review found an average 42-hour response time in its audited lead response research. The InsideSales.com and MIT study found that contacting a lead within five minutes changes response odds. Read the lead response time data.

Sources: Harvard Business Review lead response research, InsideSales.com and MIT lead response study These sources support the response-time risk. localbot delivery statements describe the product alert workflow.

If you are building a site in Replit for a client or your own business, localbot helps the owner see the lead while the buyer is still choosing who to call. localbot follows up with reachable leads, gathers missing details when useful, and sends a handoff summary before the callback.

Copy this prompt into Replit Agent

Replit Agent can connect existing form emails or add the floating localbot form. Replace the placeholder only if the floating form is used.

Add a contact form to this project using localbot.
The goal is for the business owner to receive every lead by SMS immediately and have localbot follow up with leads.
If the project already has a usable form, do not add a duplicate form. Route that form's notification emails to the owner's localbot email address.
If there is no good form or better intake is needed, add the floating localbot form:
For that path, place this container where the contact form should appear:
<div id="localbot-contact"></div>
For that path, add this script before the closing body tag:
<script src="https://www.localbot.io/api/widget/YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async></script>
Do not build a new email-only form or use a backend email service.
After implementation, tell me which path you used and where to replace YOUR_WIDGET_ID if the floating form was added.

Create your localbot in the localbot dashboard.

Three steps to faster lead response

Paste the prompt in Replit

Copy the prompt above and paste it in Replit Agent. It handles the code placement.

Replace YOUR_WIDGET_ID

If the floating localbot form is used, swap the placeholder with your actual localbot configuration ID. Deploy. Done.

The DIY version has more moving parts

Building a contact form that sends SMS yourself means setting up a backend API route, a Twilio account with API keys, phone number management, delivery error handling, and rate limiting. Even in Replit, that is a lot of moving parts.

With localbot, connect existing form notification emails when a form already exists, or add the localbot form when the site needs better intake. No API keys in your Replit project. No backend route. No Twilio account. localbot alerts the owner, follows up with reachable leads, and prepares the callback.

What you get:

Owner SMS alerts when an inquiry arrives
Lead source history in the localbot dashboard
Tap-to-call and tap-to-text in every notification
Lead follow-up and handoff summaries

Use the localbot form directly

If the site needs a better intake surface, add the localbot form manually instead of using the prompt:

<div id="localbot-contact"></div>
<script src="https://www.localbot.io/api/widget/YOUR_WIDGET_ID" async></script>

Works with other AI builders too

The same prompt works in any AI code editor. Ask the tool to keep existing form emails when they already work, or add the localbot form when the site needs better intake.

Questions

Do I need a backend for this?

No. If the site already has a form, localbot can receive its notification emails. If the site needs the floating localbot form, localbot handles rendering and submission without API routes, environment variables, or server-side code in your Replit project.

Does it work after I deploy from Replit?

Yes. The localbot form loads from localbot's CDN, so it works on Replit's development preview, production deployments, custom domains, or any other hosting.

Do I need a Twilio account or API keys?

No. localbot handles SMS delivery and lead follow-up. You do not configure Twilio, API keys, parsing, consent handling, retries, or delivery monitoring.
