Angi Leads (Home Advisor)

March 22nd, 2021 by

Overview

Our Angi Lead integration allows you to instantly get ALL information from new leads from Angi Leads, formerly Home Advisor, brought straight into ClientTether.

You can also easily monitor all incoming leads from Angi Leads via our API Monitor.

All information is stored and easily accessible within the Contact Profile for the lead.

Based on your settings you can arrange for an Action Plan to instantly fire off once the lead has come into the system.

There are two parts to getting this integration going and they must be done in the following order:

  1. Activating within ClientTether
  2. Activating with Angi Leads

Here is the link to the slide deck used in this presentation.

Topics

Activating Angi LeadsIntegration within ClientTether

We have made our side of this integration as simple as possible.

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Go to Add-Ons tab
  3. Check the box next to Activate Angi Leads
  4. Click on the tab that appears called “Angi Leads”
  5. Select your lead sources for “With an Appointment:” and “Without an Appointment”
    • Even if you don’t ever expect to get a lead with an appointment or without an appointment always set the lead source for both anyways.
  6. Click on the Unique Endpoint at the top of the page to copy it.

Here is the link to the slide deck used in this presentation.

Activating Angi Leads Integration with Angi Leads

To activate the Angi Leads API on the Angi Leads side you will need to send an email to: crmintegrations@homeadvisor.com (This is still correct even they have changed name to Angi Leads).

This email needs to contain:

  1. A Subject with the number of Accounts you wish to add to the API
    • {{Your Company Name}} X Number of Accounts for API Set up
    • We strongly recommend not doing more than 10 at a time, and testing those 10 accounts, because Angi Leads manually enters the data on their end and have made errors on entries before.
  2. Create a table with the columns for the account owners first name, last name, Angi Leads’ Account ID, and the Unique Endpoint you copied from ClientTether.



  3. Make sure to specify for them to turn off any parser emails coming into ClientTether from Angi Leads
    • Otherwise you will have the same lead come in via the API integration and the parser, which will cause you to get a lot of duplicates.
  4. Send the email
    • Please be aware Angi Leads Standard Operating Procedure is to send you a test contact once the account is connected. This test contact will be a duplicate of an existing contact. If you wish for them not to do this please specify it in your email.

Capture External Emails in ClientTether

September 13th, 2022 by

There are two sides of capturing external emails inside of ClientTether.

Inside of the SMTP Settings tab you will find a system generated BCC email. This is your key to capturing external emails inside of ClientTether.

Capture Outgoing Emails

The first use case is when you are sending an email to a contact from your email system: Gmail, Outlook or etc. Put your system generated BCC Email in the BCC field before sending. In this case, the outgoing email is sent to your contact and to ClientTether’s email parsing system. ClientTether will read the message, find the original recipient’s email and compare that to Contact Emails in the system already. Supposing the system finds a match, the body of the outgoing email will be captured as an History Note.

Capture Incoming Emails

The second use case is capturing incoming emails in ClientTether. In this case, a little more setup may be required. The basic concept is that you will fwd the incoming email to our system generated BCC Email. This can be done one at at time if you want to be strategic. Or you can set up a Filtering Rule in your email tool to send lots of items. In either instance, ClientTether will read the message and find the original sender’s email. Our system will attempt to match the sender’s email with a Contact in your list. Supposing a match is found, the body of the email is captured as an History Note.

Please Note: Google will not Fwd email with a Rule without the receiving end agreeing to such an action. Hence, you will have to work with your CSM to respond to Google in acceptance of FWD emails.

  • A new invoice will be created in your QuickBooks Online account, with the same name and number as the ClientTether proposal.
    • If the client already exists in QuickBooks, then the invoice will be tied to that client.
    • If the client does not exist, then a new client record will be created in QuickBooks with the information from ClientTether and the invoice will be tied to that client.
  • Any “Product” that exist in ClientTether that do not exist in QuickBooks will be created.
  • Any payments recorded in ClientTether will be added to that invoice.
  • As payments are added in ClientTether they will be added to the existing invoice.

    NOTE: Our CSMs are NOT QuickBooks user. How you use the data once transferred, is up to you.

Recur360/Quickbooks/ClientTether Integration in depth

Data Flow

This integration allows you to create your clients and proposals one time in ClientTether and Recur360 will move that information into Quickbooks for you.

The begining of this process happens when Recur360 automatically syncs with ClientTether every 6 hours. If you need it to sync more than that you can manually trigger the sync from within Recur360 at anytime.

When Recur360 Syncs with ClientTether it checks the Sales Cycles and Payments in Proposals. With each sync the following will be completed:

  • When a client is in the Sales Cycle Step used to indicate you have created a proposal:
    • Recur360 uses the client information from ClientTether to create a customer in QuickBooks
    • Recur360 will also create an estimate in QuickBooks based on the proposal details in ClientTether.
  • When a payment has been added to a proposal in ClientTether:
    • Recur360 will add that payment as an Unapplied Payment to the existing customer in Quickbooks.
  • When the Sales Cycle Step reflects the job is complete
    • Recur360 will create an invoice in QuickBooks based on your proposal in ClientTether for the customer
    • All Unapplied Payments from the customer for that invoice will automatically be applied to that invoice.

Automated Royalty Fee Collection

All payments entered in ClientTether or made directly through Recur360 are automatically tracked for you.

All franchisees are charged their royalty fee automatically, daily. This will cover all payments they have recieved for the past 3 day waiting period.

A check will automatically be written in the Franchisee’s Quickbooks Online file for the correct Royalty amount.

Recur360 Reporting

All franchisees will be able to see an audit log, within Recur360, of all data sent from ClientTether to Quickbooks Online.

Meanwhile, the franchisor will have a Royalty Fee collection report listing all pertinent details.

To begin, go to your Proposal Settings and visit the Payments tab. In there you will see the Payment Options for NEW proposals. These settings do not apply to existing proposals. See image below.

New and existing proposals will have similar setting options on the Proposal Overview tab. When a Contact opens their invoice, these are the settings referenced to determine what payment options are shown to the contact. Please remember the invoice is a dynamic page and will show the current settings at the time the page is opened.

Regardless of the Customer’s options, as a ClientTether User you will be able to choose between all the payment options when taking a payment inside the Proposal system.

Thumbtack

February 3rd, 2022 by

Overview

This is a powerful tool combining the automation and centralization of ClientTether with the marketing and communication of Thumbtack.

With this integration you will be able to:

  • Have leads directly added to ClientTether from Thumbtack
  • Receive incoming Thumbtack messages
  • Send outgoing Thumbtack messages
  • View Thumbtack conversation within Contact Profile
    • Please note this does not currently include Thumbtack messages you send from within Thumbtack. Only messages you send out of ClientTether, but does include ALL incoming messages from Thumbtack.

Topics

Setting up Thumbtack ClientTether integration

To set up the Thumbtack integration please do the following things:

  1. Make sure you have an active Thumbtack Account
  2. Make sure you have a clear Lead Source in ClientTether created for Thumbtack
  3. Reach out to your Thumbtack Account Manager and let them know you would like to activate the ClientTether integration.
    • They must turn on the integration on their end first.
    • Locate your Thumbtack Business ID for inclusion on the ClientTether Side.
    • Paste your Business ID into the Thumbtack Tab in ClientTether.

This may eventually be replaced with an OAUTH Login option to Thumbtack from within ClientTether.

Settings for a Multi-Level Account Structure

There are times when the account structure in ClientTether is different than Thumbtack. For example, you might have a single Thumbtack account that generates leads for all of the greater Denver Metro area. But in ClientTether you might have a Multi-Level account for Denver with 4 subaccounts: North, South, East and West.

In this case follow these steps:

  1. Activate the Thumbtack Add-On for the Multi-level account.
  2. Complete the Business ID and Lead Source in the new Thumbtack Settings tab
  3. Turn on “Share Thumbtack Credentials with Subaccounts
  4. Activate the Thumbtack Add-On in the subaccounts. Notice they will NOT have a Thumbtack Settings tab, because they are using the credentials form the parent account.

Using Thumbtack integration within ClientTether

Once Thumbtack is set up:

Please note outgoing messages sent from within Thumbtack do not display within ClientTether.

Zapier

August 20th, 2020 by

Overview

Zapier is a no-code or pseudo-code integration hub that allows you to integrate (through APIs) or send “Zaps” between two other software platforms.

A “Zap” is a packet of information that is pulled from one software platform, and formatted by Zapier so it can be used by the other.

ClientTether takes in information to our API from Zapier through “Zaps”, and sends information into Zapier as well.

You can register to use our pre-made Zaps here.

Please keep in mind this a support page for ClientTether not Zapier. This content focuses on how to use Zapier with ClientTether, not how to use Zapier in general. For more information on just Zapier, please visit their support pages by clicking here.
