When a Lead Moves,
the Right Sequence Starts

Smart Triggers connect your pipeline stages to your follow-up sequences. When a lead changes stage, a sequence starts automatically. When a sequence finishes, the lead moves to the next stage. Your entire sales process chains together — without manual work.

Manual "who should I follow up" decisions

The real problem

Sequences Alone Aren't Enough

You've set up follow-up sequences. Good. But who starts them? Who stops them? Who decides which sequence runs for which lead at which stage? If the answer is "my sales rep, manually" — that's where leads get dropped.

🧠

Reps Forget to Start Sequences

A lead moves to "Interested" but nobody assigns the nurture sequence. The lead sits there, cold, while your team is busy with other chats. By the time someone notices, the lead has moved on.

🔁

Old Sequences Keep Running

A lead gets qualified and moves stage — but the previous sequence is still sending "are you interested?" messages. The lead gets confused. Your rep looks careless. Trust breaks.

📋

Nothing Happens After a Sequence Ends

Your 7-day sequence finishes. The lead didn't respond. Now what? Without a trigger, nothing happens — the lead just sits in limbo until someone manually checks.

Smart Triggers solve this by creating automatic connections between your pipeline and your sequences.

Stage changes start sequences. Sequence completions move stages.

Your sales process becomes a chain — each step automatically triggering the next.

How it works

Three Simple Triggers. Endless Possibilities.

Smart Triggers work with just three rules. The power comes from how you chain them together with your sequences and stages.

Trigger 1
📋 → 💬

Stage Change → Start Sequence

When: Lead moves to a specific stage

Then: Automatically start a follow-up sequence

The moment a lead is moved to a pipeline stage — either manually by a rep or automatically — the right sequence kicks in. No delay, no forgetting.

Example

Lead moves to "Pressure Sell" stage →
Kraya auto-starts "Problem Solution Sequence"
a 5-message series with case studies, pricing, and urgency nudges.
Trigger 2
💬 → 📋

Sequence Complete → Move Stage

When: A sequence finishes (all messages sent)

Then: Automatically move lead to a new stage

When a sequence completes and the lead hasn't responded, the trigger automatically moves them — to "Lost", "Cold", or any stage you define. No lead stays stuck in limbo.

Example

"Nurture Sequence" completes on a lead in "New Lead" stage →
Lead auto-moves to "Lead Lost" stage.
Or chain it: move to "Revival" → trigger a different sequence.
Trigger 3
📞 → 💬

DNP → Start Recovery Sequence

When: Lead marked as DNP (Did Not Pick)

Then: Start a recovery sequence immediately

When a rep logs a call as DNP, the trigger auto-starts a WhatsApp recovery sequence — "Hey, tried calling — when's a better time?" — instead of relying on the rep to remember.

Example

Rep marks call as DNP
Kraya auto-starts "DNP Recovery Sequence"
WhatsApp messages spaced over 3 days to get the lead to reschedule.

The real power

Chain Triggers + Sequences Into Complete Sales Workflows

One trigger fires a sequence. That sequence completes and fires another trigger. That trigger moves a stage and starts a new sequence. Your entire pipeline runs on autopilot — rep just steps in when a lead replies.

Example: Full lifecycle of a new lead

📥

New Lead Arrives

Lead enters "New Lead" stage

From Meta ads, website widget, JustDial, or manual entry

Trigger 1 fires

Stage = "New Lead" → Start "Intro Qualification" sequence

AI qualification messages begin — asks about budget, timeline, intent

💬

Sequence runs

"Intro Qualification" — 3 messages over 2 days

If lead replies → sequence auto-pauses, rep takes over. If no reply → sequence completes.

Trigger 2 fires

Sequence complete + no reply → Move to "Nurturing" stage

Lead didn't engage with qualification — time for a different approach

Trigger 1 fires again

Stage = "Nurturing" → Start "Value Drip" sequence

Different content: case studies, testimonials, results — sent over 7 days

💬

Sequence runs

"Value Drip" — 5 messages over 7 days

If lead replies → sequence pauses, rep takes over and moves to "Interested". If no reply → completes.

Trigger 2 fires again

Sequence complete + no reply → Move to "Lead Lost"

Lead has been nurtured twice with no engagement — marked lost automatically

Clean pipeline

No lead stuck in limbo. Every lead has a defined outcome.

Reps only step in when a lead replies. Everything else is handled.

Real workflows

How Teams Chain Triggers + Sequences By Industry

Same three trigger types — completely different workflows depending on your sales process.

Real Estate

Site Visit → Closing Push → Lost

After a site visit, the lead needs a closing push, not generic nurture. If they go silent, move them to revival automatically.

Trigger + Sequence Chain

stage
Rep moves lead to "Site Visit Done"

trigger
Auto-starts "Post-Visit Closing" sequence

sequence
5 messages: thank you → highlights → urgency → price lock → final push

If reply
Sequence pauses, rep handles personally

trigger
Sequence complete, no reply → move to "Revival" stage
📈 3× more site-visit-to-booking conversions
EdTech & Coaching

New Lead → Qualification → Enrollment Push

New enquiries get qualified first. Hot leads get a counselor. Cold ones get a value drip. Nobody falls through.

Trigger + Sequence Chain

stage
Lead enters "New Lead" from Meta ad

trigger
Auto-starts "AI Qualification" sequence

sequence
AI asks: program interest, budget, timeline

stage
Qualified → rep moves to "Enrollment Push"

trigger
Auto-starts "Enrollment" sequence: testimonials, deadline, offer
📈 40% more enquiry-to-enrollment conversions
Healthcare & Clinics

DNP → Recovery → Rebook

Patient didn't pick up? Auto-start a WhatsApp recovery sequence instead of hoping the receptionist remembers to call back.

Trigger + Sequence Chain

stage
Rep logs call as DNP

trigger
Lead moves to "DNP" → starts "DNP Recovery" sequence

sequence
"Tried calling — when works better?" → Day 2 nudge → Day 3 last attempt

If reply
Patient responds, sequence pauses, receptionist rebooks

trigger
Sequence complete, no reply → move to "Cold" stage
📈 35% of DNP patients rescheduled within 3 days
Travel & Experiences

Quote Sent → Follow-up → Revival

After sending a trip quote, the follow-up sequence should be about closing — not generic nurture. And if they go silent, switch to a completely different approach.

Trigger + Sequence Chain

stage
Rep moves lead to "Quote Sent"

trigger
Auto-starts "Quote Follow-up" sequence

sequence
Day 1: "Any questions?" → Day 3: traveler testimonial → Day 5: "Slots filling up"

trigger
Sequence complete, no reply → move to "Nurturing"

trigger
"Nurturing" stage → starts "Seasonal Offers" sequence
📈 2× quote-to-booking conversion rate
Fitness & Wellness

Trial Done → Membership Push → Win-Back

After a free trial, the window to convert is 48 hours. Automate the membership push so reps don't forget, and auto-move to win-back if they don't bite.

Trigger + Sequence Chain

stage
Rep moves lead to "Trial Completed"

trigger
Auto-starts "Membership Conversion" sequence

sequence
"How was your session?" → member benefits → limited slots → pricing

trigger
Sequence complete, no reply → move to "Win-Back"

trigger
"Win-Back" stage → starts "Re-engagement" sequence (special offer)
📈 35% trial-to-paid conversion improvement
B2B Services

Multi-Stage Outbound Pipeline

For longer B2B sales cycles, chain multiple stages: intro → discovery → proposal → negotiation. Each stage shift triggers a different sequence with stage-appropriate messaging.

Trigger + Sequence Chain

stage
Lead enters "Intro" stage

trigger
Auto-starts "Intro Outreach" sequence (who we are, what we do)

stage
Reply + qualified → rep moves to "Proposal Sent"

trigger
Auto-starts "Proposal Follow-up" sequence (ROI data, case study, urgency)

trigger
Sequence complete, no reply → move to "Stalled Deals"
📈 25% faster deal velocity across pipeline

The difference

Without vs. With Smart Triggers

❌ Without Smart Triggers
🧠Reps manually assign sequences to each lead — and forget half the time
🔁Old sequences keep running after a lead changes stage — wrong messages, broken trust
📋Sequences end and nothing happens — leads sit in limbo until someone checks
📞DNP calls get logged but no recovery follow-up happens — lead gone forever
💬Every stage transition requires manual work — reps spending time on admin, not selling
✅ With Smart Triggers
Lead moves stage → right sequence starts automatically, instantly, every time
⏹️Stage change can switch sequences — old one stops, new one starts
📋Sequence completes → lead auto-moves to the next stage or marked as lost — no limbo
📞DNP logged → recovery sequence fires immediately on WhatsApp — no rep action needed
🔗Triggers chain together — your entire pipeline becomes a self-running workflow

Trigger Chaining

Connect multiple triggers end-to-end. One trigger's output becomes the next trigger's input. Build entire pipelines that run without manual intervention.

⏹️

Auto-Pause on Reply

When a lead replies to any message in a sequence, the entire sequence pauses instantly. Rep gets notified with full context to take over personally.

🔀

Multi-Pipeline Support

Different pipelines can have different trigger rules. Your real estate pipeline runs differently from your coaching pipeline — each with its own chains.

📞

DNP-Specific Triggers

When a call is marked "Did Not Pick", a dedicated trigger fires a recovery sequence on WhatsApp. No more DNPs falling through the cracks.

🔘

On/Off Toggle

Pause any trigger instantly without deleting it. Testing a new sequence? Turn off the old trigger, turn on the new one. Switch back anytime.

Common questions

FAQ About Smart Triggers

Go to Smart Triggers in your dashboard, click "New Rule." Pick the trigger type (stage change or sequence completion), select the pipeline and stage, then choose the action (start a sequence or move to a stage). Name it, toggle it on, and you're done. Takes under 2 minutes.
The sequence auto-pauses the moment the lead replies. Your rep gets a notification and can pick up the conversation personally inside WhatsApp. The sequence won't resume unless the rep manually restarts it or the lead moves to a new stage that triggers a different sequence.
Yes — that's where the real power is. Create a "Stage Change → Start Sequence" trigger, then a "Sequence Complete → Move Stage" trigger. The stage move will fire the first trigger type again if there's a rule for that new stage. You can build chains as long as your sales process needs.
Auto Follow-ups are the sequences themselves — the series of WhatsApp messages with delays between them. Smart Triggers are what START and STOP those sequences automatically based on pipeline events. They work together: triggers are the brain, sequences are the muscle.
Yes. Each trigger rule is tied to a specific pipeline and stage. Your real estate pipeline can have completely different trigger logic than your coaching pipeline. Set up as many rules as you need for each pipeline.
Yes. Triggers fire any time a lead enters the specified stage, whether moved manually by a rep, automatically by AI qualification, or by another trigger. The trigger doesn't care how the lead got there — it reacts to the stage change.
Yes. When you create the sequence that the trigger will start, you choose whether it sends via API (template messages) or via DirectFollow (personal WhatsApp messages). The trigger starts whichever type of sequence you've configured.
No limit. Most teams start with 3-5 core triggers (new lead qualification, DNP recovery, nurture-to-lost, post-meeting follow-up) and add more as they refine their process. Every trigger can be toggled on/off independently.
