The problem it solves

A promising lead emails in, but it sits in your inbox until someone remembers to log it in the CRM and tell the sales team. By then the moment has passed, and the lead has often already moved on.

Who it fits

A sales team that receives leads by email and needs to react fast.

How it works

  1. A new email matching your lead filter arrives in Gmail
  2. The lead's information is extracted and a CRM contact is created or updated
  3. Your sales team gets an instant Slack notification
  4. A follow-up email sequence starts automatically
What you get

New leads flagged to your team

You get every new email lead captured into your CRM and flagged to your sales team instantly, with a follow-up sequence started automatically.

What you get

A new or updated CRM contact, a Slack alert to your team, and an automatic follow-up email sequence.

What you need

A Gmail account, a CRM account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
