[Setup](#setup) 1. [📚 Related Docs](#related-docs) Your website agent is chatting with potential customers all day. But if those conversations disappear into the void, you're leaving money on the table. The Email power-up turns every conversation into a captured lead. ## How It Works When configured, your agent can send emails during conversations. Use it to: - Capture visitor details and forward them to your sales team - Send conversation summaries to specific inboxes - Notify team members when certain topics come up ## Lead Capture Example Add this to your agent's system prompt: "Before answering questions, ask the visitor for their name, email, and what they're looking for. Email this to us with the subject 'New Lead'." Now every conversation starts with a soft lead capture. Your agent collects the info naturally, sends it to your team, then continues helping the visitor. No friction. No forms. Just conversation. ## Bug Report Example Lead capture is not the only use. You can also turn your agent into an extra set of eyes for bugs. Add this to your system prompt: "If a visitor reports a bug or says something is not working, email us the details with the subject 'Bug Report'." Now whenever someone flags a problem, your agent quietly sends it straight to your inbox, so issues get caught even when no one is watching the chat. ## Combine with Other Power-ups Chain the Email power-up with others for powerful workflows: - Google Search + Email - Search for info, then email a summary to the user - Notion + Email - Query a database, then email the results - Browse Webpage + Email - Visit a page, summarise it, and send via email ## Setup Add the Email power-up, set your receiving email address (up to 3), and optionally set a default subject. Your agent handles the rest - deciding when to send based on your description and system prompt. ### 📚 Related Docs 🔗 Link: [Email power up](https://chatthing.ai/docs/email-power-up) 📚 [**Read the full guide in our documentation**](https://chatthing.ai/docs/email-power-up#how-it-works) ### **Related articles ** [![How to add an AI chatbot to your WordPress site](https://res.cloudinary.com/djyjvrw5u/image/upload/v1793305468/hero_9ef6db9cfa.png)](https://chatthing.ai/blog/add-ai-chatbot-to-wordpress) [
