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.

    • Inbound: Inbound call from an unknown number that doesn't match a Contact, Lead, or Account already in the CRM.
    • Outbound: Outbound call to an unknown number that doesn't match a Contact, Lead, or Account already in the CRM.
  4. In Create Contact or Lead drop-down list, select the type(s) of contacts to be created.
    • Contacts: Save the unknown number as a Contact.
    • Leads: Save the unknown number as a Lead.
  5. Click Save.

Result

  • When a call is placed to an unknown number, or a call is received from an unknown number, a new contact or lead will be created on Salesforce CRM.

  • If the Contact Synchronization feature is enabled, the new created contact or lead will also be synchronized automatically into the phonebook in Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition.
