Here are the steps to set up automated lead creation for incoming SMS and WhatsApp messages in Zoho CRM:
- Login to portal https://app.crm-messaging.cloud
- Make sure you have a WhatsApp or SMS number attached to your account. Check your phone number here Text Messaging for Marketers and Sales Reps – CRM Messaging (crm-messaging.cloud)
- Go to Textwords and add a new textword
- Textword lets you define auto responses against keywords, define your away message, and set a greeting message. Here to automatically create a lead on new incoming with specific keyword or without any keyword, you can set lead creation as an action
- Choose action as Create Lead in Zoho CRM. This will automatically create a lead for new incoming with a phone number that is not in the Zoho Leads module
- Created lead in Zoho CRM will have phone field populated with incoming number and name will be Automation contact from CRM messaging
