Cold email follow-up: connect outreach to your CRM

Start with the current process

Define the contact fields and deduplication rules before connecting email, forms and approved conversation channels to the CRM. Assign one owner to each handoff.

Define the boundaries

For stage detection, define the labels with your sales team. Preserve the evidence behind a suggested stage and route uncertain cases to review.

Validate with real samples

Test duplicate contacts, missing fields, owner changes and complaint messages. Check that notifications lead to an action and a recorded outcome.
