Import your CRM Custom Fields (Properties) into Pipeline Views and Automate CRM field updates

We all operate different workflows as per our roles and feel the constant of data silos. Working with so many conversation tools the CRM always lacks the conversation data and thus it’s hard to get the pulse of both CRM and conversation data together. 

Avoma solves this problem for you and unlike other competitors we let you import all your custom CRM Properties (Fields) and create different pipeline views to improve your pipeline accuracy with combined data and Proactive Deal Health Alerts. 

In order to use the below functionality you need to connect your CRM with Avoma. Read at Integrations - Help Center about how to connect your CRM with Avoma. 

The CRMs supported for the same functionality are below

  1. Salesforce
  2. HubSpot
  3. Zoho  (Coming Soon)
  4. Pipedrive (Coming Soon)

Import your CRM Properties (Fields) from your CRM

In order to use your CRM Properties (Fields) within Avoma’s pipeline views you need to import them into Avoma. Avoma supports importing all CRM properties. 


To do so, head to Settings →  CRM →  Object


Currently, only the User in CRM who’s an admin in Avoma can import and map the CRM fields.
