Set up Automatic Lead or Contact Creation for Salesforce CRM

After the integration with Salesforce CRM, you can set up automatic lead or contact creation. If enabled, a new contact or lead will be created on the CRM when the user receives a call from an unknown number or places a call to an unknown number. This feature helps you to build your contact database efficiently and ensure all contact information is captured.
