What This Workflow Does

This automation solves the common challenge of manually transferring new leads between your CRM and SMS marketing platform. Every time a sales lead is created in Insightly CRM, this Make.com workflow automatically creates a corresponding contact in ClickSend - your SMS marketing platform.

The integration eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces human error, and ensures your sales team can begin SMS outreach immediately after lead capture. No more copying and pasting contact details between systems or worrying about missed opportunities due to delayed follow-up.

How It Works

1. New lead detection

The workflow continuously monitors your Insightly CRM for newly created leads through real-time webhooks or scheduled checks.

2. Data extraction

When a new lead appears, the workflow extracts all relevant contact information including name, phone number, email address, and any custom fields you've configured.

3. Contact creation

The system then creates a new contact in ClickSend with all the extracted information, ready for immediate inclusion in your SMS marketing campaigns.

4. Confirmation

The workflow can optionally send a confirmation notification to your team or log the successful transfer for auditing purposes.
