Understanding and using the AI composer

How the AI composer works, and how you can use its suggested responses to get back to leads in record time

Updated over a week ago

With HoneyBook's AI composer, you’ll have personalized email responses suggested on your mobile app, as soon as new leads come in. You can quickly edit and send, freeing up more of your valuable time.

📣 Note

This feature is available only on the HoneyBook mobile app, for leads that come in via HoneyBook contact form.

We'll answer some frequently-asked questions about the AI composer below:


How does the AI composer work?

When a new lead comes in via HoneyBook contact form, your company name, industry type, and the fields of the contact form are received by the AI composer. The composer drafts up a suggested response in real-time: an email reply that's personally tailored to your lead and which adheres to email deliverability best practices.

You'll receive a mobile push notification whenever a suggested response is ready. From there, review the draft message on your app, make any desired changes, and send.

How do I use the AI composer?

Before you get started:

1. Set up the HoneyBook contact form: share it as a direct link, embed it on your business website, or both. (The AI composer creates suggested responses only for leads that come in via HoneyBook contact form.)

2. Make sure you do not have any active contact form automations. (To ensure leads don’t receive duplicate outreach, you will not be able to use this feature if you have active automations tied to your contact form(s).)

3. Download the mobile app on your iOS or Android device. (Suggested responses will appear only on the mobile app.)

4. Enable push notifications. (You’ll receive a mobile push notification as soon as a suggested response is ready.)

To use the AI composer:

1. After a new lead comes in, you’ll receive a mobile push notification when the suggested response is ready. This notification will also appear in your app's notification center.

2. Tap on the notification, or search for and open the lead’s project.

📣 Note

Remember, suggested responses are available only on the HoneyBook mobile app.

3. From within the project, swipe up on the AI composer to open the full suggested response. From here:
