How the AI Replying Tag Works
Whenever an AI is generating a response, the tagai_replying is automatically added to the contact. This tag is:
- Added before AI generation begins
- Removed after the message is successfully sent to the CRM (i.e., a messageId is available)
Use Cases
Fallback Workflows
Use theai_replying tag to trigger a workflow with a wait timeout. This is helpful for:
- Vendor or platform timeouts — If the AI takes too long, trigger an alternative action
- Server maintenance — Provide a fallback response if the AI service is temporarily unavailable
- Decision-making — Build logic around whether the AI successfully replied
Example Workflow
- Trigger:
ai_replyingtag added - Wait: 30 seconds
- Check: Is
ai_replyingstill present? - If yes → Send fallback message or notify team
- If no → AI replied successfully, no action needed
