What lands in your Lark group

A hand-over that goes to one person's WhatsApp sits there while they're with a customer. In the team's Lark group, whoever's free sees it.

01Hand-overs

Hand-over cards the whole team can see.

When the agent hands a chat over, a card lands in the group with who it is, their number, what they said and why. The whole team sees it, and whoever's free opens the chat from the card.

  • Your own wording for the card
  • Back to the agent, on an agent's hand-over

02The next day

Nobody picked it up? The group hears again a day later.

If nobody replies in the chat, one reminder goes to the group a day later, mentioning everyone. A reminder due between 9pm and 9am waits for 9am. Then it stops.

  • One reminder per hand-over
  • @mentions everyone in the group
  • A reminder due at night waits for 9am

03Your number

Hear when a number's sending gets risky.

Numbers get restricted when they send too much, too fast. A risk check reads each number every ten minutes, and the first time a number's heat reaches your level in a day, the group hears about it. The level starts at 20.

  • Once a day per number at most
  • Your own level, or off

04Into WhatsApp

Turn each lead your team adds in Lark into a WhatsApp chat.

Some teams log new leads in Lark first. A Lark automation can send each one's number to a workflow's web link, and the workflow texts them from your number.

  • Only requests with that link's secret key get in
  • Texted at the same safe pace as every first message
