First, Kixie Syncs at the Lead/Contact Level:
Kixie automatically syncs the call or SMS activity to the lead or contact that is associated with the phone number that is being called/calling you. The call activity we create inside the lead or contact looks like this:
The SMS activity we create inside the lead or contact looks like this:
From there, Kixie will sync that same call or SMS activity up to the account and opportunity level, if in fact the contact is associated with any, in the following manner: _Syncing at the Account Level: _ The activity will always sync to that account if one is associated with the contact. Here is that same activity, this time as seen in the activity history of the contact Bruce Wayne’s associated account, “Wayne Enterprises”.
Syncing at the Opportunity Level
Kixie will sync to the most recent opportunity that is associated with the contact, in this case, the “Eliminate the Joker” opportunity, as shown below.
What if there are multiple leads/contacts with the same number?
In the event of multiple leads/contacts with the same number, Kixie will sync to the _last referenced lead/contact, _with preference given to the contact level if there are both leads and contacts with that number. It is always best to get the direct number of any lead or contact, if you can, to avoid potential confusion.
Automatic Lead Creation
If you are calling/being called by a phone number that is not associated with a lead or contact in Salesforce yet, Kixie will automatically create a lead inside of Salesforce w/ that number, and sync all subsequent call activity to that lead, all of which will be maintained upon that lead’s conversion into a contact. *This feature may be disabled for your whole account if you so choose.
