The Answer with Form skill type is designed for customers to equip Insite with the ability to gather information from a user and send it with other data from the conversation to a configurable endpoint. This feature is particularly well-suited for lead-generation plays and live connections of a user on your website to a sales, service, or support representative.

For example, you can use this skill type to configure Insite to:

  • Promote an email newsletter or webinar, gather an email address, and add that to your marketing automation system.
  • Incentivize Insite users to share their email addresses by asking if they’d like to receive a conversation summary at the end of a conversation.
