# Follow up and Triage

> Triage reads every live conversation and tells you who needs a human today, why, and what to say.

The **Follow up** screen has two tabs: **Triage** and **Call list**.

## Triage

Triage reads every active conversation with AI and sorts them into queues, so you always know
**who needs you right now, why, and what to do next** — without scrolling through dozens of threads.

The header shows how many conversations need you and the **dollar value of pipeline at risk**, so
you can prioritise by impact. It refreshes on its own every minute.

### The five queues

| Queue          | What is in it                                                                                                                     |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 🔴 **Rescue**  | Trust is breaking — anger, a scam worry, an explicit "let me talk to a human", or the AI is visibly looping. Jump on these first. |
| 🟢 **Close**   | Warm and near a decision — accepted the price, asking how to pay, ready to book. A nudge here turns into revenue.                 |
| 🟠 **Waiting** | The ball is in your court — the customer asked something that has not been answered yet.                                          |
| 🔵 **Cold**    | Gone quiet. Worth a nudge before the lead goes stale.                                                                             |
| ⚪ **Healthy**  | Handled and on track — nothing for you to do. Collapsed by default so it stays out of the way.                                    |

Cards are sorted by priority — deal value × how much a human can move it × recency — so the top of
each queue is always the best use of your time. Work each queue top-down.

### What each card tells you

Customer, lane and vehicle, quote amount, the deal **stage**, the customer's **sentiment** with a
trend arrow (improving / steady / slipping), a one-line reason it was flagged, and the latest
message — enough to act without opening the thread.

### Actions on a conversation

| Action         | What it does                                                                                                     |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Take over**  | You are handling this one personally. Records that you stepped in and clears the card from the queue.            |
| **Send draft** | Sends the AI-suggested reply as-is, straight to the customer — the fastest way to clear a Waiting or Close card. |
| **Snooze**     | Hides the conversation for a while and brings it back later, so the queue only shows what needs you now.         |
| **Resolve**    | Marks it handled and removes it from the queue.                                                                  |

Selecting a card opens the live conversation on the right, so you can read the thread and reply
without leaving the page.

<Tip>
  The **?** icon in the Triage header opens **How Triage works** inside the CRM — the same
  explanation, always current.
</Tip>

### Triage settings

The gear icon opens Triage settings:

* **Sensitivity** — how eagerly conversations get pulled into the queues.
* **Visible queues** — hide queues your desk does not use.
* **Autopilot** — let the AI keep handling the conversations it is already on.

## Call list

The second tab is your scheduled calls: customers you or the system set a callback time for. Work
it top-down, and open the conversation straight from a row.

Calls get scheduled when a customer asks to be called, when you set a reminder on a conversation
in the [Inbox](/using/inbox), or from an automated follow-up step.

## Triage vs follow-up sequences

They solve different halves of the same problem, and you want both:

|             | [Follow-up sequences](/settings/templates) | Triage                                     |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| **What**    | Timed messages that go out on their own    | A ranked list of conversations for a human |
| **When**    | Fixed intervals after a quote              | Continuously, as the conversation changes  |
| **Best at** | Chasing people who never replied           | Rescuing and closing people who did        |
