You'll also want to refine your campaign setup to distinguish between generic conversations and true leads. Identify which chatbot events equal a valid lead—such as when users provide contact details or request demos—then configure conversion tracking specifically around those points. This ensures you’re not just counting conversations, but measuring actions that represent tangible value to your business.
