Getting Started

5 articles

After logging in, the left sidebar is your primary navigation hub. Here's how to find every feature and use the dashboard effectively.

Step 1 — Learn the Sidebar Sections

  • Dashboard — Click here first to see your real-time overview of leads, revenue, appointments, and pipeline activity
  • Conversations — Open your unified inbox for SMS, email, calls, social DMs, and chat. All messages in one place
  • Contacts — Access your full CRM: all leads, clients, and smart lists. Click any contact to see their full history
  • Calendars — View and manage your booking pages, availability, and upcoming appointments
  • Opportunities — Open the Kanban-style pipeline view to track deals through stages
  • Marketing — Launch email & SMS campaigns, schedule social posts, and manage templates
  • Automations — Build and monitor workflows and automation triggers
  • Sites — Create and edit funnels, websites, blogs, and chat widgets
  • Memberships — Build courses, communities, and client portals
  • Payments — Manage products, invoices, subscriptions, and transactions
  • Reporting — View analytics and performance data across all channels
  • AI Agents — Configure Conversation AI, Voice AI, Agent Studio, and your Knowledge Base
  • Settings — Configure your account, integrations, team members, and phone numbers

Step 2 — Use Quick Search

Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) from anywhere in the platform to instantly jump to any feature, contact, or conversation without scrolling through the sidebar.

Pro Tip

Bookmark the Dashboard as your start page. Customize the date range at the top right to compare this week vs. last week — you'll spot trends in lead volume and appointment rates instantly.

Complete these six steps before launching any campaigns or automations. Skipping any step can cause branding inconsistencies or deliverability issues.

The 6-Step Setup Checklist

  1. Set your business profile: Go to Settings → Business Profile. Enter your business name, upload your logo, set your address, timezone, and currency. This information populates merge tags across the platform
  2. Verify your email domain: Navigate to Settings → Email Services. Click "Add Domain," enter your domain name, then add the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records provided. Verification usually takes 5–30 minutes. This prevents your emails from landing in spam
  3. Connect a phone number: Go to Settings → Phone Numbers → Buy Number. Search by area code, select a local or toll-free number, and complete A2P 10DLC registration if you're US-based (required for commercial SMS)
  4. Add your team: Open Settings → Team Management → Add User. Enter their name and email, select their role (Admin or User), and configure which features they can access
  5. Sync your calendar: Go to Settings → Integrations and connect your Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. This prevents double-bookings by checking your external availability
  6. Set reply-to addresses: Under Settings → Email Settings, configure your default from name, from address, and reply-to address so all outgoing emails are branded to your business
Critical Step

Email domain verification (Step 2) is the most common setup failure. Go to Settings → Email Services → Dedicated Domain and confirm all three DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) show a green checkmark. If any are red, double-check the records in your domain registrar and wait for propagation.

Control what each team member can see and do by assigning the correct role and customizing their permissions.

Step 1 — Understand the Role Hierarchy

Agency Admin
Full platform access. Can manage all sub-accounts, billing, and agency settings
Agency User
Access to assigned sub-accounts only. No billing access
Location Admin
Full access within one sub-account. Cannot reach agency-level settings
Location User
Limited to specific features you configure per user

Step 2 — Assign a Role

  1. Go to Settings → Team Management
  2. Click Add User and enter their name and email
  3. Select their role from the dropdown (Agency Admin, Agency User, Location Admin, or Location User)
  4. Click Save — they'll receive an email invitation to set their password

Step 3 — Customize Permissions (Location Users)

  1. After creating the user, click the Edit icon next to their name
  2. Toggle on/off access to: Contacts, Opportunities, Campaigns, Workflows, Reporting, Payments, and more
  3. Restrict which pipelines, calendars, or phone numbers this user can access
  4. Enable or disable bulk actions (bulk delete, bulk tag, etc.) if you want to prevent accidental mass changes
  5. Click Save Permissions
Best Practice

Start new hires as Location Users with minimal permissions. Expand access as they get trained. This protects your data from accidental deletions or unauthorized campaign sends.

The Lead Connector mobile app (iOS & Android) gives you full CRM access from your phone. Follow these steps to get set up.

Step 1 — Download & Log In

  1. Open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your phone
  2. Search for "Lead Connector" and download the app
  3. Open the app and log in with the same email and password you use for the desktop platform
  4. If you have multiple sub-accounts, select the one you want to access

Step 2 — Enable Push Notifications

  1. When prompted, tap Allow Notifications
  2. If you missed the prompt: go to your phone's Settings → Lead Connector → Notifications → toggle on
  3. You'll now receive alerts for: new leads, incoming messages, missed calls, appointment reminders, and review activity

What You Can Do in the App

  • View and reply to all conversations (SMS, email, DMs) in real time
  • 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

Snapshots are complete account templates that bundle funnels, workflows, email/SMS sequences, pipelines, calendars, and custom fields — deployable with a single click. Here's how to load one.

Step-by-Step: Loading a Snapshot

  1. From the agency dashboard, go to Agency Settings → Snapshots
  2. Browse your available snapshots (custom-built or purchased from the marketplace)
  3. Click the snapshot you want, then click Load into Sub-Account
  4. Select the target sub-account from the dropdown
  5. Choose which components to import (workflows, funnels, pipelines, etc.) — or select all
  6. Click Confirm. Assets will populate the sub-account within 2–5 minutes

After Loading — Required Customization

  1. Open each workflow and replace placeholder text (business name, phone number, URLs) with your actual info
  2. Update funnel pages with your branding, images, and copy
  3. Re-link calendars to your team's actual calendar connections
  4. Verify all phone numbers and email domains are connected
  5. Test each workflow by triggering it with a test contact before going live
Warning

Never activate imported workflows without reviewing them first. Placeholder content (like "Your Company Name") will be sent to real contacts if you skip this step.

ContactsAdd Contact / Import

Method 1 — Add a Single Contact Manually

  1. Click Contacts in the left sidebar

  4. Add tags for segmentation (e.g., "lead", "referral", "VIP")
  5. Click Save — the contact is immediately available in your CRM

Method 2 — Bulk Import via CSV

  3. Upload your CSV file
  4. Map each CSV column to the matching platform field using the dropdown mapper
  5. 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: Unlimited — text, number, dropdown, checkbox, date, file upload (created in Settings → Custom Fields)
  • Tags: Flat labels for segmentation and targeting
  • Activity Log: Every email, SMS, call, note, and automation step is automatically logged

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

  1. Go to Contacts in the left sidebar
  2. Click the filter icon (funnel icon at the top of the contacts list)
  3. Add your first filter condition — e.g., Tag "is" → "interested"
  4. Click + Add Filter to layer additional conditions (e.g., AND Date Created "is in the last" → "7 days")
  5. Toggle between AND (all conditions must be true) and OR (any condition can be true)
  6. Once your filtered list looks correct, click Save as Smart List
  7. Name it something descriptive (e.g., "Hot Leads – 7 Days")
  8. 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
Example Use Case

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.

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

  1. Go to Opportunities in the left sidebar
  2. Click Pipelines (top tab) → Add Pipeline
  3. Name your pipeline (e.g., "Sales Pipeline" or "Onboarding Pipeline")
  4. Add stages by clicking + Add Stage. Typical stages: New Lead → Contacted → Proposal Sent → Negotiation → Won
  5. Set a win probability % for each stage (helps with revenue forecasting)
  6. Click Save Pipeline

Step-by-Step: Adding an Opportunity

  1. Open your pipeline view, then click + Add Opportunity in any stage column
  2. Link it to an existing contact (search by name, email, or phone)
  3. Enter the deal name, monetary value, and expected close date
  4. Assign it to a team member (optional)
  5. Click Save — the card appears in the stage column
  6. 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")
  • Auto-create opportunities from form submissions by adding a "Create Opportunity" action in your workflow
  • Automatically notify team members when deals enter their assigned stage

How to Create & Apply Tags

  1. To create tags in bulk: go to Settings → Tags → Add Tag
  2. To tag on the fly: open any contact record, scroll to the Tags section, and type a new tag name — it's created and applied instantly
  3. To bulk-tag: go to Contacts, select multiple contacts using the checkboxes, click Bulk Actions → Add Tag, select the tag, and apply
  4. 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

  1. Go to Settings → Custom Fields
  2. Click Add Field
  3. Choose the field type: Single line text, Multi-line, Dropdown (single/multi), Radio, Checkbox, Date, Number, Phone, Email, File upload, or Signature
  4. Name the field (e.g., "Company Size", "Preferred Language", "Contract End Date")
  5. Choose whether the field applies to Contacts, Opportunities, or both
  6. Click Save — the field is now available on every contact record and in workflow conditions

How to Use Custom Fields in Messages

Insert any custom field into emails, SMS, or workflows using merge tags. The format is: . Find the exact merge tag by clicking the merge tag icon (curly brackets) in any message editor.

Step-by-Step: Running a Bulk Action

  • Change DND Status — Set Do Not Disturb per channel (SMS, Email, Calls, or All)
  • Assign to User — Reassign contact ownership to a specific team member
  • Merge Duplicates — Combine duplicate contact records
Warning

Bulk Delete is permanent and cannot be undone. Always export your contacts to CSV before running a bulk delete — just in case.

How to Add a Note to a Contact

  1. Open a contact record by clicking their name in the Contacts list
  2. Scroll to the Notes section (right panel)
  3. Click Add Note, type your note, and click Save
  4. Notes are visible to all team members with access to this contact
  5. To auto-add notes via automation: add a "Create Note" action in any workflow

How to Create a Follow-Up Task

  1. Open a contact record
  2. Click the Tasks tab
  3. Click Add Task
  4. Enter the task title (e.g., "Follow up on proposal"), set the due date, and assign to a team member
  5. Click Save — the task appears on the assigned user's task dashboard
  6. 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.

A review funnel asks customers to rate their experience internally first. Happy customers go to Google; unhappy ones get a private feedback form.

Step-by-Step Build

  1. Create a Survey with a single rating field
  2. Create a workflow triggered by Survey Submitted
  3. Add an If/Else Branch: "Survey Rating" ≥ 4
  4. Yes path (4–5 stars): Send your Google Review link
  5. No path (1–3 stars): Send an internal feedback form link
  6. On the No path, also add an internal notification to alert your support team
Result

This approach dramatically increases your Google rating by routing happy customers to leave public reviews while catching unhappy customers before they go public.
