Boei Lead Inbox for Ghost

Turn Ghost Readers into Qualified Leads

Ghost attracts dedicated readers — but a standard subscribe form only captures 2-3% of them. AI live chat engages readers while they browse your posts, asks about their interests and needs, captures email addresses, and delivers complete lead profiles to your inbox. Every blog visitor becomes a potential subscriber or paying member.

  • AI qualifies readers: interests, membership intent, content preferences
  • Every lead scored by engagement depth and conversion likelihood
  • Leads delivered via email, webhook, or directly to your CRM
  • Full AI conversation transcript included with every lead
  • Source tracking shows which Ghost post or page they came from

Seamless AI-to-Human Handover

When a Ghost reader wants to discuss membership tiers, sponsorships, or custom projects, your AI escalates to your team on WhatsApp, Messenger, or any channel they prefer. The handover includes full conversation history, lead score, and contact details — your team picks up right where AI left off.

  • Escalation triggers: high lead score, human request, membership inquiry
  • Full conversation history and AI-generated summary included
  • Routes to WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, email, or Slack
  • Smart routing: round-robin, random, or manual claim
  • Unlimited team seats at no extra cost

Why Your Ghost Site Needs AI Live Chat

Ghost is the best publishing platform for creators — but it has zero native chat or real-time engagement tools:

  • No built-in live chat — Ghost has no chat widget, no messaging layer, and no way to engage readers in real-time. They read your article and leave.
  • Subscribe forms convert at 2-3% — The default Ghost subscribe modal only captures a fraction of your audience. The other 97% vanish without a trace.
  • Membership questions go unanswered — Potential paying members who have questions about your tiers, benefits, or content schedule leave when they can't get instant answers.
  • No post-visit follow-up — Readers impressed by your content close the tab, and there's no way to continue the conversation on WhatsApp or Messenger.
  • Sponsorship inquiries get lost — Brands interested in sponsoring your newsletter have no quick way to start a conversation from your Ghost site.

Boei fixes all of this for Ghost: paste one script in Ghost's code injection, train AI on your posts and pages, and let it engage every visitor. AI routes warm prospects to your team on WhatsApp — conversations continue even after they close the tab. See the Ghost installation guide.

Ghost AI Live Chat FAQ

Does Boei include an AI chatbot for Ghost?

Yes — AI is included in every Boei plan, not a paid add-on. Your AI chatbot handles first responses, answers questions using your Ghost blog content, qualifies leads automatically, and escalates warm prospects to your team on WhatsApp or Messenger. 2,000 AI messages included per month.

How do I install live chat on Ghost?

Log in to your Ghost admin panel, go to Settings → Code injection, and paste the Boei script in the Site Footer section. Takes under 5 minutes, works with every Ghost theme including Casper. See the full Ghost installation guide.

Do I need to be online 24/7?

No — your AI handles it. It answers reader questions instantly, qualifies leads, and captures contact details around the clock. When your team is available, AI escalates warm leads directly to them. When you're offline, AI continues working and queues qualified leads for follow-up.

Will live chat slow down my Ghost blog?

No. Boei loads asynchronously after your page content, has no heavy dependencies, and uses CDN delivery. Zero impact on page load times or Core Web Vitals. Your Ghost theme performance stays exactly the same.

Does it work with Ghost memberships and paid tiers?

Yes — AI can answer questions about your membership tiers, pricing, and exclusive content. It can distinguish between free and paid members, encourage upgrades, and route membership inquiries to your team.

How does AI-to-human handover work?

You define the rules: escalate when a lead is qualified, when AI can't answer, when the visitor asks for a human, or when sponsorship negotiations start. Your team gets the full conversation history and lead score on WhatsApp, Messenger, or email.

Will the chat widget match my Ghost theme?

Yes — customize brand colors, position, welcome message, and widget style to match your Ghost theme's aesthetic. The widget is minimal and unobtrusive by default, designed to complement content-first websites.

Can I use multiple team members?

Yes — unlimited team seats at no extra cost. Configure smart routing for escalated conversations: round-robin, random assignment, or manual claim. AI handles reader engagement, your team handles high-value conversations.

Does it work with headless Ghost setups?

Yes. If you're using Ghost as a headless CMS with a custom front-end (Next.js, Gatsby, etc.), simply add the Boei script to your front-end's HTML. The AI learns your content from the published pages regardless of how they're rendered.

What's included for €14/month?

AI chatbot (2,000 messages), unlimited conversations, unlimited team seats, all 50+ channels, lead scoring, analytics, CRM inbox, and use on unlimited Ghost sites. One flat price — no per-agent fees like Tidio or Intercom.
