Multichannel inbox

Conversations from LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail and Outlook sync automatically into one inbox and onto the matching contact and deal records.

Kanban sales pipelines

Pipelines are Kanban views on the Deals page, and AI can generate the stages. Pipelines, contacts, custom objects and custom fields are unlimited.

MCP server for AI assistants

An MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT and other AI clients read and update records, send inbox messages and create tasks, with granular access to each area.

Data enrichment

Person and company enrichment fills in 50+ data points such as job title and company details and uses no tokens. Finding missing emails and phone numbers draws on tokens.

Meeting recorder

A recorder bot joins calls, then transcribes and summarizes them and stores action items and decisions in the CRM. Pre-meeting briefs pull context from past conversations.

Roles, permissions and workspaces

Roles and permissions can keep a user's personal email and social conversations hidden from teammates. One account can hold several workspaces for different businesses or clients.
