What Can You Do with the Smith.ai Zap?

Not to be smart-alecky, but pretty much whatever you can dream of, as long as it's connected to the Internet. Here are some ideas to whet your appetite:

Work with nearly any CRM, exactly how you want

The main actions CRMs handle typically involve logging, monitoring, and initiating interactions with leads and clients. When considering uses for data from our receptionist services, you may want to add an update contacts and leads, or attach conversations and call summaries to new and existing contacts.

Find your CRM on Zapier, and browse popular and even pre-built automations for inspiration.

Add callers to email campaigns

Mailchimp, Mad Mimi, Emma, Constant Contact ... they and dozens of other email programs can connect to Smith.ai. Add qualified, but unconverted leads to lead-nurture drips, and send new clients information that prepares them to work with you through sequenced emails. You can direct callers into different funnels based on conditions they meet after calls are completed.

Get clients to commit with automated document generation and

For qualified callers, you can create a Zap to automatically reply to that person with the forms you require to initiate a client engagement, pre-filled with their information.

You can even collect data from spreadsheets and files in Google Drive and other databases and bring customized information into the form alongside the information a receptionist collected during a call. For example, if the caller's location or business type (residential or commercial, for example) changes how an engagement letter is written.

Get notifications sent to you and your team

Not only can you initiate alerts in Slack and other work chat apps when call summaries are completed, but you can also receive notifications later on after further sequenced actions have been completed — a new client e-signs that client engagement letter, for example.

Go nuts

Want your lights to blink every time a new lead books a consult? You can do that.

Too flashy? Enjoy the more subtle notifications of a 3D-printed desktop mailbox that raises its flag every time you nab a new client.

With all of the extra time on your hands thanks to Smith.ai, you'll have plenty to spend on fun Internet of Things projects like these! Be sure to check out Zapier's list of obscure, cool Zappables, too.

Of course there's a list of 300 of Zapier's most popular automations for the traditionalists, too.
