CRM Integration Guide
This guide outlines the integration workflow between a client’s CRM system and Lucep’s Automated Lead Qualification (ALQ) platform. It is intended for both technical and business teams to clearly understand the integration touchpoints, data exchange formats, dependencies, and responsibilities.
Overview of Integration Workflow
Lead Ingestion from CRM to Lucep
Leads from various sources are ingested into the CRM and sent to Lucep via API.
Multichannel Qualification Campaign by ALQ
Multichannel qualification campaign triggers via IVR, WhatsApp, SMS, or Email.
Lead Status Update from Lucep to CRM
Lucep updates the CRM with lead qualification status, notes, and attempt history.
Callback Execution via Cloud Telephony
CRM initiates an automated call to the prospect via Cloud Telephony at a scheduled time.
1. Lead Ingestion from CRM to Lucep
Leads from these sources are ingested into the client’s CRM system then sent to Lucep via API. Lucep can alternatively integrate directly with these lead sources without needing CRM mediation. This allows for faster lead ingestion and qualification.
Typical Lead Sources
-
Facebook / Instagram Lead Ads
-
Zapier
-
3rd Party Lead Aggregators (direct API calls)
-
Website Lead Forms
-
Google Lead Forms
-
CSV (from Excel spreadsheet, etc.)
Fields to Be Shared with Lucep
Mandatory Fields
Optional fields
Popular custom fields
Validation & De-duplication
Lucep API validates phone numbers & PIN formats. Optional de-dupe logic rejects leads currently in process to avoid duplicate engagement.
2. Multichannel Qualification Campaign by ALQ
Once successfully received, Lucep triggers a pre-configured campaign across multiple channels to validate intent and schedule callbacks.
The objective of the campaign is to:
- Validate phone number
- Confirm intent
- Schedule a callback (if qualified)
- Flag lead for sales follow-up or discard (if invalid/unresponsive)
IVR
Automated voice routing and intent confirmation.
Conversational qualification via popular messaging.
SMS
Direct text-based follow-ups and links.
Detailed qualification forms and information sharing.
Lead Qualification Status Update to CRM
Upon completion of the ALQ workflow, Lucep will update the CRM system using the client’s Lead Update API.
Fields to Be Pushed by Lucep
- Enquiry ID To match with CRM record
-
Lead Qualification Status
Qualified Unqualified (Unsubscribed) No Response
- Qualification Date and Time UTC or IST – to be agreed upon
- Callback Date and Time If applicable
- Qualification Channel e.g., WhatsApp, IVR
- Qualification Attempt e.g., 2nd Attempt - WhatsApp
- Custom fields Inserted at the lead ingestion
API Response Handling
CRM system should respond with:
Callback Execution via Cloud Telephony
Objective:
To enable the CRM system to initiate a call to the prospect through a cloud telephony service at the exact callback date and time provided by Lucep.
Workflow Steps
1. Lucep updates the CRM with:
- Qualification Status = "Qualified"
- Callback Date and Time
- Other lead details (Enquiry ID, Phone Number, etc.)
2. The CRM system uses its automation logic (e.g., scheduled flow, Apex job, webhook trigger) to:
- Detect leads where qualification status = "Qualified" and callback time is set
- At the defined callback date and time, call the cloud telephony provider's API to initiate a call to the prospect
3. The Cloud Telephony Provider:
- Receives the API request from the CRM
- Initiates the outbound call to the prospect
- Optionally, sends call status updates back to the CRM for visibility and logging
