Visitor identification and intent scoring

DeliChat tells you who is on your site before they say a word, scores how interested each person is, and flags the hot moments. It does this inside the limits of each visitor’s jurisdiction and consent.

What DeliChat does

DeliChat identifies who is on your website, scores how interested they are and tells your team when someone is worth a conversation. Every other part of the system reads from it.

The short answer

DeliChat resolves anonymous website traffic into named, company-attached leads where the law and the visitor’s consent allow, keeps a running intent score for each person, and flags hot moments in real time. It is the foundation the outbound and CRM tabs build on.

  • Anonymous visitor identification

    Resolves anonymous traffic into named, company-attached leads with no form fill, within the limits of the law and the visitor’s consent.

  • Live intent scoring

    Page views, scrolls, return visits, email opens and replies roll into one running score for each person.

  • Auto Connect

    The moment someone goes hot, such as a third visit today or a return to the pricing page, the team is flagged in real time.

  • One record, every channel

    Chat, web voice, inbound phone and outbound all work from the same history, so nobody starts cold.

  • Personalised welcomes

    When someone your email reached later lands on the site, DeliChat can recognise them and adapt the greeting, where the law and the visitor’s consent allow.

  • A plain-English daily brief

    Who came in, who warmed up and who is worth calling today, written so you can act on it without opening a dashboard.

DeliChat is one of the Deli Suite tools. The product page, DeliChat, covers features and pricing; this page explains how it behaves and where the boundaries sit.

From visit to record

An anonymous visit becomes a record when DeliChat resolves who is behind it and opens it in DeliHub. Everything that person does next is added to the same record.

Why this matters

Most visits end without a form fill

B2B websites convert roughly 2% to 5% of visitors into a known lead through a form. Identification is about the rest.

The flow

Five steps from anonymous visit to a team that knows what to do

  1. 1

    Arrive

    A visitor lands

    From search, an AI answer, an email or a referral.

  2. 2

    Resolve

    DeliChat identifies

    The company, and the person where the law and consent allow.

  3. 3

    Record

    A record opens

    One record per person in DeliHub, with every visit on it.

  4. 4

    Score

    Attention adds up

    Views, return visits, opens and replies feed one running score.

  5. 5

    Act

    The team is flagged

    The right channel picks up warm, with context.

The same record is used by every channel, which is why visitors can be approached warm instead of cold. The CRM side is covered on the DeliHub documentation page.

How the intent score behaves

The score is a running total of attention, not a one-off event. It steps up when someone engages, and cools when they go quiet.

Score over time

How one person’s intent score moves

The shape matters here, not the numbers. The chart is deliberately drawn without a numeric axis.

Illustrative exampleHotWarmColdTime123456
  1. One blog visit. Barely moves the score.

  2. Three service pages in one session. A large step up.

  3. A return visit. Another large step.

  4. An email open. Adds to the running total.

  5. A return to the pricing page. Crosses the hot line, so Auto Connect flags the team.

  6. Silence. The score cools on its own.

That behaviour lets the system prioritise without anyone watching a dashboard. The hottest people surface on their own, and people who stop engaging drift down the list without being deleted.

Auto Connect

Auto Connect flags your team the moment someone goes hot, so the follow-up happens while the interest is still fresh.

A hot moment might be a third visit in a day or a return to the pricing page. Auto Connect raises the alert and puts the full history in front of whoever picks it up. If the visitor was previously reached by email, DeliChat can also recognise them and adapt its greeting.

  • Third visit today

Personalised welcome

Illustrative example

DeliChat on the site

Welcome back. You were reading about our pricing earlier. Would a short call help you compare the options?
Yes, tomorrow morning works.

The greeting adapts because the visitor was recognised from an email we sent. Where consent is required it must be in place first.

What happens next depends on the channel: a note on LinkedIn, a same-day email or a call for the hottest moments. That choice is covered in signal-based outbound.

Tracking and measurement

If it cannot be measured it cannot be improved. Tracking is a set of layers, and each one writes to a place you can inspect.

Where we do not have access to something, such as your analytics before an engagement starts, we say so plainly instead of estimating. The measurement side of an engagement is laid out in the engagement tab, and the identification layer in action is on the DeliChat page.

Common questions

The questions we hear most about identification and scoring.

Does DeliChat identify every visitor?

No. Identification depends on the data available and on the visitor’s jurisdiction and consent, so some visitors stay anonymous. We do not claim a match rate, and we would rather tell you what was and was not identified than estimate it.

Is identifying website visitors legal?

It depends on where the visitor is and what they have agreed to. Rules differ across the UK, the EU and California, so identification is configured with each client around the markets they sell into, before it goes live. This is general information, not legal advice, so confirm your own position with your counsel.

What does the intent score actually tell me?

It is a running total of attention, used to decide who to pay attention to first. A single blog visit barely moves it, three service pages, a return visit and an email open move it a lot, and silence lets it cool. It is a prioritisation aid, not a prediction that someone will buy.

Next in the reading order is outbound, which uses these signals. Back to the documentation overview.
