Tracking a deal from the beginning of its life cycle is important. Why?
The progress of a prospect is the knowledge that helps you continuously understand and connect with them throughout the sales pipeline.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could automatically add a deal to your sales pipeline? You can, because we automate that!
Create a new deal in your pipeline for contacts who start chats via the Conversations feature with the help of an easy-breezy automation recipe -- the Create a Deal in Conversations recipe, to be exact!
When a contact reaches out via chat, this automation creates a deal so that you can track them across your pipeline. You could also check to see if the contact already has an open deal, and take the desired actions from there.
NOTE: This automation must be used with the Conversations feature.
How does the create a deal in Conversations automation work?
Here's how this automation works:
1. The contact submits their email to the Conversations form in the chat widget and enters the automation
2. You use a Create Deal action that assigns a stage, pipeline, and owner to the contact
3. The contact exits the automation
Pro-tip: If you want to make sure a contact with an already-open deal doesn't get assigned another one, you can build an IF/ELSE action that looks for contacts who already have a deal with an "Open" status so that they aren't assigned an extra deal.
What do you need to use the create a deal in Conversations automation recipe?
Just an ActiveCampaign account, Conversations feature, ActiveCampaign CRM, and a contact list!
