What is the Acquisition Hub?

Learn how Arthur automates your lead generation and your replies on social media from the Acquisition Hub.

The Acquisition Hub is the workspace dedicated to Arthur, the AI agent specialized in lead generation and sales. It brings together sales assistant setup, automation building, and conversation tracking, so you can turn your social media into active acquisition channels. To open it, go to the sidebar and click Acquisition Hub.

Acquisition Hub sections

The Acquisition Hub is organized into six sections you can open from the sidebar: Home, Automations, Customization, Integrations, Conversation history, and Activity summary. A selector in the top left lets you switch between assistants if you've set up more than one, or create a new one with "+ Create an agent".

Set up your sales assistant

The Customization section lets you define Arthur's behavior in six blocks, each accessible from the Hub's secondary sidebar:

  • Agent identity: Name and profile picture. Two posture settings complete the identity: how the AI should introduce itself ("As myself", meaning on your behalf, or "As an AI assistant") and, if it introduces itself as you, whether it should hide its nature when a lead asks it directly.

  • Skills : You choose a single goal out of three, which shapes the whole conversational strategy: Share a link (the agent shares your offer or your booking page at the right moment; a link to promote is required), Book meetings (the agent offers real time slots from your calendar and books directly, with the invitation sent to the lead's email), or Hand off to a human (the agent detects interested leads and hands over so you can close the deal).

  • Communication : The agent register (informal or formal) and the tone (Casual, Factual, Professional, Welcoming, or Expert) align the assistant with your brand voice. The response delay (a minimum/maximum range in seconds) keeps it from behaving too mechanically. You can also select the AI Brain products the agent relies on, turn on sending product photos when a lead asks for them, and set up specific behavior for a given persona among your Ideal Leads.

  • Conversions : Four settings drive the sale without you having to write a prompt. Qualify defines the information the agent must obtain before moving forward (industry, current solution, urgency, budget; each item can be turned on or off). Sales strategies lets you add your own tactics. When to give the price determines the point in the conversation where the agent reveals a price. Objection handling brings together standard replies to your leads' most frequent objections.

  • Disqualification: This block replaces manual filtering with explicit rules. Disqualification criteria defines when to rule out a lead (outside your target, insufficient budget, etc.). Action if disqualified specifies what happens to the conversation. Behavior rules lists what the agent must never do (never criticize a competitor, never make up a feature, etc.). Automatic stop situations defines the cases where the agent must stop replying immediately.

  • Knowledge: Two buttons are available: "Add a file" (choose documents from the AI Brain) and "Add knowledge" (a short text: a policy, an exception, a procedure). Only the knowledge explicitly added here will be used in conversations with your leads, a safeguard against leaking sensitive information.

Each screen is confirmed with the "Save changes" button, which stays disabled until you've made a change.

Create automations

The Automations section lets you set up workflows that run automatically in response to your leads' actions. It shows a search field and the "New automation" button, followed by an Automation templates section.

  • Step 1: Choose the trigger app

    The "New automation" button opens the editor: click "+ Choose a trigger". The apps offered as a starting point are Instagram Page and Facebook, CRMs (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, HighLevel, monday, ClickUp, Close), Calendly, and forms (Google Forms, Typeform, Tally). An app that isn't connected shows a "Connect" button. Then choose the event (for Instagram: "Comment on a post" or "Story reply"), followed by the relevant account.

  • Step 2: Set up the trigger

    For Instagram and Facebook, the trigger is set up on a single screen, in two parts. "When someone comments on" defines the scope: a specific post or reel, all posts and reels, or only the next post or reel you publish. "And this comment contains" adds an optional condition: a specific word or reaction (with a field to add your keywords one by one), or any word or reaction. If you target a specific piece of content, a dedicated window opens so you can select the relevant post or story.

  • Step 3: The action

    Three types of action are available, with a search field to find them quickly: Reply to the comment (posts a public reply under the original comment), Send a link (sends a link by DM, with an optional prerequisite before sending), and Send a simple message (sends a DM without a link).

  • Step 4: Set up the chosen action

    The number of setup steps depends on the action you select.

    For Reply to the comment, a single step is enough: the text of the public reply, which will be posted on every comment that matches the trigger.

    For Send a simple message, there are two steps: the message sent by DM (a "+ Username" button lets you insert a dynamic variable tied to the lead), then optionally turning on a public reply under the comment.

    For Send a link, there are four steps: the DM message, an optional prerequisite before sending (for example, requiring the lead's email), optionally turning on a public reply, then the link to send along with the text of its button.

  • Final step: Summary and deployment

    A screen summarizes the whole configuration (trigger, condition, DM message, prerequisite, public reply, link, depending on the steps you went through). If a required field is missing, an orange warning message points it out and blocks deployment; once everything is complete, a green message confirms the configuration is ready, and the "Deploy" button activates the automation. You can also save the automation as a draft

Channels and history

The Integrations section shows the available channels: Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. To activate Arthur on a channel, click the corresponding card: the window that opens lets you connect an account ("+ Connect Instagram", for example), then turn the agent on for each connected account with its toggle. The card switches from "Inactive" to "Active" once the channel is linked.

Good to know: the agent's activation toggle only controls whether the assistant replies to incoming DMs. Automations are independent: as long as they're set up, turned on, and the channel is connected in the AI Brain, they keep running, even if the assistant's toggle is off. So you can use the Acquisition Hub only for comment automations, without turning on ongoing DM handling.

Conversation history brings together all conversations by channel. You can filter by Instagram, WhatsApp, or Facebook and view the details of each conversation.

Activity summary

The Activity summary section shows a recap of Arthur's activity, with arrows to browse previous days.

FAQ

What's the difference between the assistant and automations?

The assistant replies to incoming DMs conversationally. Automations are triggered by specific events and proactively send a first message. Both can run at the same time or independently: turning off the assistant doesn't stop active automations.

Can I create several assistants in the Acquisition Hub?

Yes. You can create several assistants and switch between them with the selector in the top left, or create a new one with "+ Create an agent". For example, you can set up one assistant focused on qualification and another focused on booking appointments.

How do I connect my social media accounts to Arthur?

Connections are set up from AI Brain > "Browse integrations", by selecting Instagram, WhatsApp, or Facebook. Once connected, the channels appear in the Integrations section of the Acquisition Hub.

Can my leads see the knowledge I share with Arthur?

Not by default. Only the knowledge you explicitly add in the assistant's Knowledge block will be available to external users who interact with it by DM.
