If you have a Follow Up Boss Team account.
Each team member must Login to their own individual CallAction accounts and follow the steps above to integrate their individual Follow Up Boss CRM.
Collect All - Default setting is OFF. This is used if you have a master account & you want to collect all leads from all numbers to a specific FUB API account. In most cases, this will be set to OFF.
This should be in all of your accounts but if it is not, please let me know and we will get it resolved. Here's also the link to FollowUp Boss support page.
Best Practices if Importing Leads from Zillow or Other Sources into CallAction
In order to avoid duplicate data from being created in your FollowUp Boss CRM via API connection, we recommend the following settings be adjusted on your other lead sources.
Train Team Members Before Activating FUB API - Make sure every team member has activated their CallAction account and 100% understand how to respond to text messages by following "First Call" instructions in their CallAction profiles.
Turn OFF CallAction Broadcast Text Notification - On the call broadcast settings, turn off the notification or CallAction will create a lead in FUB with agent name if they respond to text.
Turn OFF Zillow Text Notifications - If using our call broadcast tool, the text notifications sent to CallAction from a Zillow email integration or any other lead source may create a duplicate contact in your FUB account causing confusion.
Turn OFF Zillow Text Notifications in each agent account - you must turn off the notification because Zillow will text you the contact record with the phone number and email address. CallAction will parse the data from that Zillow text notification and append as a new record. Since the notification is also coming from the same Zillow number it will create duplicate contacts with multiple emails and phone numbers. You must turn this off.
Turn OFF Zillow Call Recordings - if you have call recording/transcriptions turned on in CallAction, we recommend you turn off recordings on Zillow to speed up call connection times.
