Kixie Always Syncs to the Lead/Contact First:
Depending on how the call was initiated, there are two ways that Kixie will find a person to sync to…
- DirectSync: For click-to-calls made to a lead/contact from inside a lead/contact’s page, or from a lead/contact list-view, Kixie will sync the call directly to that lead/contact.
- Normal Sync: For SMS messages, and phone calls that are made or received in any other way than above, Kixie will search your Insightly CRM contacts for the lead/contact whose default phone number field(s) yields a match to the phone number, and then automatically push the call or SMS activity inside of that contact. If there are multiple leads/contacts that yield a match, Kixie will sync to the oldest one, with priority given to contacts.
Automatic Lead Creation
If you are calling/being called by a phone number that is not associated with a contact in Insightly CRM yet, Kixie will automatically create one inside of Insightly CRM, and sync calls to it.
*This feature may be disabled for your whole account if you so choose, inside “Manage Account” in the kixie.com dashboard.
