Step 1 — Learn the Sidebar Sections

- Conversations — Open the inbox for your supported, connected SMS, email, calling, social, and chat channels
- Contacts — Access your full CRM: all leads, clients, and smart lists. Click any contact to see their full history

Step 2 — Search This Help Center
Use the search box at the top of this page to find a guide. Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) while viewing this help center to focus that search box.
Use a consistent date range when comparing lead and appointment reports. Start with your own baseline and check that the underlying records are complete.
How to Set Up Your Account (First-Week Checklist)
Start with one useful customer journey. Complete these checks before sending campaigns or turning on live automation.
Your First-Week Setup Checklist
- Confirm your account and plan: Check the business name, timezone, contact details, available tools, and user permissions. Ask support about anything missing.
- Choose one first outcome: For example, capture an inquiry, create or update its contact record, assign a follow-up, and offer a booking.
- Connect only what the workflow needs: Use the email, phone, and calendar setup available in your account. Check any charges and registration requirements before enabling a service. Follow the domain-verification records shown by your provider; verification timing varies.
- Prepare your business information: Add accurate services, hours, contact details, and booking availability. Set the sender and reply-to details for any messages you plan to use.
- Run a controlled test: Use your own test contact to check the inquiry, CRM record, follow-up, booking, and notifications. Confirm the right person can see and handle the result.
- Launch and monitor: Enable the tested workflow when ready, review its results, and fix issues before expanding. Magma customers should coordinate this step with the implementation team.
Email authentication helps establish a valid sending setup; it does not guarantee inbox placement. Confirm the contact list, message content, sender details, and a test delivery before sending to customers.
How to Configure Your Team Roles & Permissions
Give each teammate the access needed for their work inside your business account. Available controls depend on your plan and your own permissions.
Business-Account Access
Add and Check a Team Member
- Open the team or user settings available in your account and check your plan's user allowance.
- Add the teammate with their own email address and select an available role.
- Review the individual permissions before saving. Avoid granting bulk deletion, billing, or campaign-sending access unless needed.
- Use the account's invitation process, then have the teammate confirm they can reach the tools needed for their role.
Agency administration and reseller permissions are not part of this onboarding guide. If a required control is unavailable, contact support rather than trying to access agency-level settings.
How to Set Up the Mobile App
The mobile app can help you manage supported CRM tasks from your phone. Use the app recommended for your account; features depend on your plan, role, and device.
Step 1 — Download & Log In
- Open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your phone
- Search for "Lead Connector" and download the app
- Open the app and log in with the same email and password you use for the desktop platform
- If an account selector appears, choose the business account you are authorized to use
Step 2 — Enable Push Notifications
- When prompted, tap Allow Notifications
- If you missed the prompt: go to your phone's Settings → Lead Connector → Notifications → toggle on
- Choose the notification types available in your app and account, then test an alert on your device
What You Can Do in the App
- View and reply through the conversation channels supported in your app and account
- Make and receive calls using your platform phone number
- Add and update contacts, notes, and tasks
- View and manage your calendar and appointments
- Move opportunities through pipeline stages with a tap
- Access and respond to Google reviews
How to Prepare a Workflow for Your Business
A prepared workflow gives you a starting point. It still needs your business information, connected services, and a successful test before use.
Prepare One Workflow
- Choose a workflow or template available in your account. If you need a template imported, ask support about the available setup options.
- Identify the trigger, the intended customer action, and which teammate should handle the result.
- Replace sample business names, phone numbers, URLs, sender details, and message text.
- Check the required calendar, email, phone, and other connections. Confirm any usage charges before testing.
- Test with your own contact and verify every intended step, including handoff to a person.
- Publish only after reviewing the test result. Monitor early activity before adding more workflows.
Magma customers should coordinate workflow setup and migration with the implementation team. Template imports that require agency access are handled by an authorized administrator; customers do not need agency or reseller access to follow this guide.
CRM & Contacts
How to Add & Import Contacts
Method 1 — Add a Single Contact Manually
- Click Contacts in the left sidebar
- Click the Add Contact button (top right)
- Fill in name, email, phone, and any custom fields
- Add tags for segmentation (e.g., "lead", "referral", "VIP")

Method 2 — Bulk Import via CSV

- Go to Contacts → Import (top-right dropdown)

- Map each CSV column to the matching platform field using the dropdown mapper
- Choose whether to update existing contacts (matched by email or phone) or create new only

Automatic Contact Creation (No Manual Entry Needed)
- Form submission — Contacts are auto-created when someone fills out any form on your funnels or website
- Workflow action — Use the "Create Contact" action in any workflow to generate contacts programmatically
- Integrations — Facebook Lead Ads, Google Lead Forms, Zapier, and API connections all create contacts automatically
Understanding the Contact Record
- Standard fields: Name, Email, Phone, Address, Date of Birth, Source, DND status
- Custom Fields: Use the field types and limits available in your account, such as text, number, dropdown, checkbox, date, and file upload
- Tags: Flat labels for segmentation and targeting
- Activity Log: Every email, SMS, call, note, and automation step is automatically logged
How to Create Smart Lists for Contact Segmentation
Smart Lists are dynamic, filter-based saved views of your contacts. They automatically update as contacts meet or stop meeting the criteria you set.
Step-by-Step: Creating a Smart List
- Go to Contacts in the left sidebar
- Click the filter icon (funnel icon at the top of the contacts list)
- Add your first filter condition — e.g., Tag "is" → "interested"
- Click + Add Filter to layer additional conditions (e.g., AND Date Created "is in the last" → "7 days")
- Toggle between AND (all conditions must be true) and OR (any condition can be true)
- Once your filtered list looks correct, click Save as Smart List
- Name it something descriptive (e.g., "Hot Leads – 7 Days")
- Access your saved Smart Lists anytime from the left sidebar under Contacts
Available Filter Options
- Tags (has/does not have), Contact type, Pipeline stage
- Last message date, Last activity date, Date created
- Custom field values, Source/Attribution
- DND status, Email/SMS subscription status
- Assigned user, Business name, Address/City/State
Create a Smart List called "Re-Engagement Needed" filtering for contacts whose Last Activity Date is more than 30 days ago AND who do NOT have the tag "won." Use this list to trigger a re-engagement campaign.
How to Build & Manage Pipelines
Pipelines give you a visual Kanban board to track deals through your sales process. Each opportunity (deal card) is tied to a contact and a monetary value.
Step-by-Step: Creating a Pipeline
- Go to Opportunities in the left sidebar
- Click Pipelines (top tab) → Add Pipeline
- Name your pipeline (e.g., "Sales Pipeline" or "Onboarding Pipeline")

- Set a win probability % for each stage (helps with revenue forecasting)
- Click Save Pipeline
Step-by-Step: Adding an Opportunity
- Open your pipeline view, then click + Add Opportunity in any stage column
- Link it to an existing contact (search by name, email, or phone)
- Enter the deal name, monetary value, and expected close date
- Assign it to a team member (optional)
- Click Save — the card appears in the stage column
- Drag and drop cards between stages as deals progress
Automate Your Pipeline
- Trigger workflows when an opportunity moves to a new stage (e.g., send a contract when moved to "Proposal Sent")

- Automatically notify team members when deals enter their assigned stage
How to Use Tags & Custom Fields

- To auto-tag via automation: in any workflow, add an Add Tag action to automatically tag contacts based on their behavior (form submitted, appointment booked, etc.)
How to Create Custom Fields
- Go to Settings → Custom Fields
- Click Add Field
- Choose the field type: Single line text, Multi-line, Dropdown (single/multi), Radio, Checkbox, Date, Number, Phone, Email, File upload, or Signature

- Choose whether the field applies to Contacts, Opportunities, or both
- Click Save — the field is now available on every contact record and in workflow conditions
How to Use Custom Fields in Messages

How to Perform Bulk Actions on Contacts

- Scroll to the Notes section (right panel)
- Click Add Note, type your note, and click Save

How to Create a Follow-Up Task

- When the task is marked as completed, you can trigger a follow-up workflow automatically
Viewing the Activity Timeline
Every contact record has a full chronological timeline showing every email sent/received, SMS, call, form submission, appointment, note, task, and workflow action — so you never lose context on where a lead stands.

Reputation Management
How to Request Honest Reviews & Respond to Feedback
If reputation tools are enabled in your account, use them to request honest feedback after a real customer experience. Apply the same invitation process regardless of whether you expect a positive or negative review.
Set Up and Test a Request
- Connect the correct Google Business Profile using the integration available in your account, or use its official review link.
- Open the available review-request tool and check the business name, review destination, message, and sender.
- Invite the customer to share an honest review. Do not request a particular rating, specified wording, or a staff name, and do not offer an incentive.
- If you automate the request, use a consistent post-service event. Do not make the public review link depend on a satisfaction score.
- Test the message and link with your own test contact before enabling the workflow.
Respond Thoughtfully
If Reviews AI is available, start with draft review where supported and check each response for accuracy and privacy before posting. You can also respond manually. Do not promise an outcome the team cannot deliver.
Invite genuine feedback without incentives or pressure. Read Google's review-request guidance.
How to Add a Review Widget to Your Website
Step-by-Step
- Go to Reputation → Widgets
- Click Create Widget
- Customize the widget style
- Copy the embed code
- Paste it into your website HTML
- The widget automatically updates as new reviews come in
How to Invite Honest Reviews from Every Customer
Give every customer the same opportunity to leave an honest public review after a genuine experience. Keep private support available to everyone as a separate option.
Build a Neutral Request Process
- Choose a consistent post-service point for inviting customers to review your business.
- Send the same honest-review invitation and public review link to every customer in that process.
- Do not branch the public invitation by a survey score or by whether the customer seems happy.
- Offer a separate support or private-feedback link to all customers. Using it must not hide or replace the public review option.
- Notify your team when someone requests help, regardless of their rating or whether they leave a public review.
- Test every path before enabling the process. Confirm each customer can reach the same public review option.
Do not offer review incentives, suppress negative feedback, or promise a higher rating. Google's review policy prohibits selectively soliciting positive reviews.
