    Hi Joao,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Regarding your question about whether the Jotform AI Agent can perform outbound actions such as sending SMS, WhatsApp messages, or emails automatically when a lead comes into your CRM and initiate a conversation, here is what you need to know:

    The Jotform AI Agent can be created based on your existing forms and can be customized to interact with users through various channels. You can set up AI Agents to engage users via chatbots, phone calls, and messaging platforms including WhatsApp.

    Specifically, you can create an AI Agent that sends notifications or messages to users when certain triggers occur, such as a new lead entering your CRM. This includes sending SMS, WhatsApp messages, or emails to start conversations automatically.

    To get started, let me show you how to can easily set up your AI Agent to send an email:

    1. In Agent Builder, in the blue navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Train.

    2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on Actions.
