As Freshsales forces assignment of a lead to a specific salesperson in Freshsales, you will require at least one salesperson in Freshsales to have an account in FunnelFLARE.

 

**FunnelFLARE Lead Insights for Freshsales**

To get the most out of FunnelFLARE and Freshsales, your first step should be to install the FunnelFLARE Lead Insights Chrome extension. This adds outbound call tracking, prospect, and account overlays into Freshsales.

**The Basics**

 

Data flowing to Freshsales from FunnelFLARE happens when a prospect does **something **that FunnelFLARE is tracking. For example, a prospect fills out a form, this could create a new deal in Freshsales. 

 

**Note: **Data flowing FROM Freshsales to FunnelFLARE is handled automatically using the Import Scheduler (Contacts-CRM Contact Updates).

The CRM Contact Update system sets up the connection between Freshsales to FunnelFLARE. It is not a scheduler ... there is a real-time update from Freshsales to FunnelFLARE whenever a contact is updated in Freshsales.

You will be given full control over what to do if contacts exist, what fields map to what, etc.

 

**Automatically update contacts in FunnelFLARE from Freshsales**

One of the more powerful features of the FunnelFLARE-Freshsales integration is the ability to update contacts in FunnelFLARE automatically. To automatically push changes from Freshsales to FunnelFLARE, use the contact import scheduler (Contacts-CRM Contact Updates ). Freshsales will update FunnelFLARE on a scheduled basis. The import scheduler filter system allows you to have full control over what gets data and which contacts are automatically updated in FunnelFLARE.

 

 

**Note: **as with any import, FunnelFLARE will never delete data as a result of an import. Most fields will 'update' as a result of an import with the exception of phone numbers and email addresses. As a contact can have more than one email address, an import will add email addresses and phone numbers to the existing list.
