CRM Integration Update: Act-On now fully integrates with Zendesk Sell!

  • Updated

Act-On's bi-directional integration with Zendesk Sell CRM keeps sales and marketing working off the same data - lead handoff, nurturing, funnel visibility, and reporting all stay in sync between the two systems, helping your organization accelerate and cultivate strong sales, product, and marketing alignment. This update adds a set of features that make that connection more useful day to day.

Why this matters: Every additional manual step between a form fill and a sales rep's inbox is a chance for a hot lead to go cold. These updates, from immediate lead creation to revenue attribution, are aimed at closing that gap and giving both teams the same picture of the funnel.
