Product

Can I use recovery without the website agent?

Yes. Lead & quote recovery works on its own with past leads and unsold quotes. New inquiries is a separate product for your website; Both together includes both.

How does recovery follow-up work?

Bring in leads, quotes, and their conversation history. Porchlight identifies unresolved questions with supporting evidence, prepares relevant follow-up, and lets your team approve the messages and timing. Your team adds new projects through manual entry or CSV and records activity from conversations outside Porchlight. Automatic new-quote sync is not included in the founding subscription.

What happens when a buyer replies to recovery?

Their follow-up sequence stops. The owner gets a concise brief, recommended action, and grounded reply draft to approve, edit, and send. They can also call or assign the next step from their phone. Buyers can opt out, and your team controls further outreach.
