The problem it solves

Adding new leads or customers into your chat and marketing tool one at a time is tedious and easy to forget. You want new contacts captured the moment you have their details, not added days later.

Who it fits

A sales or marketing team using Drift for chat-based lead engagement.

How it works

  1. A new contact's details are ready to be added
  2. The system creates that contact directly in Drift
  3. The contact appears in Drift with their information filled in
What you get

Contacts logged without manual typing

Get new contacts into Drift the moment you have their details, without touching the keyboard.

What you get

A new contact record created in Drift.

What you need

A Drift account with API access.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
