CRM: how to use them

Overview

INO’s CRM sheets make it possible for you to identify, classify and find contacts: if someone calls you regularly, their associated sheet will appear during every interaction.

Moreover, it is possible to link INO to a external CRM tool such as SalesForce.

Prerequisites

None: templates and fields can be created directly in the CRM module.

Configuring

Types

When you create a new CRM in the Maker, you are asked to assign it a type: INO or integration. This choice is final.

  • INO: for use within the INO environment, without a connector to another platform.
  • Integration: for data to be stored in another dedicated tool such as Salesforce.

Note: the setup and operation of the Salesforce connector is covered in a separate article.

Fields and template

Once the CRM is created, you can create and/or add the templates (full page or widgets) and custom any fields you want. For integrations, the fields will be those of the tool linked to INO.

As with the knowledge base, directories and cases, access to CRMs is granted or revoked in the “Configuration” tab of the profile. The display in the Banner will change according to the CRM(s) linked to each profile: it is entirely possible to have multiple CRMs for different types of customers and needs.

As for the Banner, it allows you to present an interlocutor ‘s CRM sheet during the action, or to assign one to an interaction in the same way as a case.

It is also possible to insert a CRM into a voice or SMS campaign.

Tips

You can change your current CRM at will in the dedicated module of the Banner.
