Returning visitor

Shorter version

Good to see you again at company! I'm bot name. Should I reopen your application or connect you with a loan officer?

Personalize

  • Show this only when a returning visitor is recognized.
  • Point to the next step in their application, not the start.
  • Avoid any language that implies approval is decided.

Why it works

After-hours or offline

Why it works

It educates without promising anything, respects lending rules by avoiding specific rates, and hands real quotes to a licensed professional.

Start a pre-approval

When to use: Starts when a visitor chooses to begin pre-approval.

Message

Ready to start a pre-approval with company? I'm bot name. I can gather a few basics and hand you to a licensed loan officer who reviews everything. Starting does not guarantee approval.

Quick options

  • Begin the pre-approval steps
  • Upload documents securely
  • Talk to a loan officer

Shorter version

Let's begin your pre-approval at company. I'm bot name. Share your email and a licensed loan officer will guide the rest.

Personalize

  • Reassure borrowers their email and documents stay secure.

Why it works

It kicks off pre-approval smoothly while stating plainly that approval is not guaranteed, then places the decision with a licensed professional.

Proactive lead capture

When to use: Fires after meaningful browsing, not on arrival.

Message

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these templates commercially?
Yes. Copy, edit, and use them in your business, client work, CRM, help desk, or sem.chat workspace.
Why are there six variants?
One generic template rarely fits every situation. Six variants give your team practical choices without a messy library.
Should I paste these into sem.chat?
Yes. Save the best variants as canned replies, knowledge base entries, routing rules, or CRM notes so your AI agent and team stay consistent.
Can a mortgage chatbot quote rates?
No. It should share only general information and route anyone wanting a real rate to a licensed loan officer.
Is it okay for the bot to say a borrower is approved?
No. The bot must never imply approval. Starting a pre-approval is not a decision, and only a licensed professional can confirm terms.
What can the bot safely help with?
Greetings, general education about loan programs, document collection, resuming applications, and scheduling time with a loan officer.
How should compliance shape the welcome message?
State that the bot shares general information, avoid specific numbers, and keep a licensed loan officer one tap away at all times.
When should the proactive message appear?
After a visitor reads a few pages. Offer an educational guide rather than any rate or approval promise.
