Integrate your CRM data into Magileads via Zapier in 6 steps – Complete guide

Integrating your CRM data like Salesforce or HubSpot into Magileads via Zapier is a powerful process that can allow you to synchronize your customer information and optimize your marketing and sales operations. 

This guide will walk you through step-by-step how to achieve this integration to automate and improve your workflow.

Introduction to Zapier and Magileads

Zapier is an online automation tool that allows users to connect their favorite apps and services to automate repetitive tasks. It works by creating “Zaps,” which are automated workflows triggered by an event in one application and then execute an action in another application.

Magileads is a B2B prospecting platform that helps businesses manage their marketing and sales campaigns by automating data enrichment, lead scoring, and targeted email sending. By integrating your CRM (Customer Relationship Management), such as Salesforce or HubSpot, with Magileads via Zapier, you can automate contact synchronization, simplify data management and improve your campaigns.

Prerequisites for integration

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• A Zapier account : Create one for free if you don't already have one.
• Access to your CRM : You must have administrator access to Salesforce or HubSpot.
• An active Magileads account : You will need credentials to connect Magileads to Zapier.
• Necessary permissions : Make sure you have the necessary rights to connect these apps via Zapier.

3. Set up a new Zap

1. Click “Make a Zap” in the Zapier dashboard to begin creating a new Zap.
2. Choose your CRM as trigger :
   • For Salesforce , choose triggers like “New Contact” or “New Account”.
   • For HubSpot , select triggers like “New Contact” or “New Opportunity”.
3. Configure the trigger by following the on-screen instructions. You may need to select specific filters to limit the data transferred (for example, only sync new contacts created after a certain date).

4. Configure the action in Magileads

1. After configuring the trigger, add an action by clicking the “+” button.
2. Find and select Magileads as the action app.
3. Connect Magileads to Zapier following the same steps as for your CRM. You will need to enter your Magileads credentials and authorize Zapier to access your account.
4. Define the action to perform in Magileads . For example, choose “Create a new contact” to add your CRM contacts to Magileads or “Add a contact to a list” to organize your data.

5. Map CRM fields to Magileads

1. Associate the fields in your CRM with the corresponding fields in Magileads. This step is crucial to ensure that the data is transferred correctly.
   • For example, map the Salesforce “First Name” field to the Magileads “First Name” field, the “Email” field to “Email,” etc.
2. Use Zapier's mapping interface to select the appropriate fields from a drop-down list. Make sure each field is mapped correctly to avoid any data loss or inconsistency.

6. Test and activate the Zap

1. Test your Zap to verify that the connection is working properly and the data is transferring correctly. Zapier lets you run a real-time test to see if the trigger is working and the action is executed as expected.
2. Review the test results to ensure all information is correct and the data is mapped correctly.
3. Activate your Zap by clicking on the activation button. Once activated, your Zap will automatically work whenever the trigger is activated.

7. Monitor and adjust your Zap

1. Monitor your Zap activity regularly to ensure it is running smoothly.
2. Make adjustments if necessary . For example, you can add additional filters, edit mapped fields, or adjust triggers and actions to better suit your needs.

Tips for successful onboarding

• Test each Zap carefully before activating it to avoid sync errors.
• Keep your CRM and Magileads up to date with relevant information to maximize integration efficiency.
• Use Zapier filters to refine your triggers and actions, which helps reduce the number of irrelevant tasks performed.
• Document the onboarding process for future reference and to help others on your team understand how onboarding works.

In what specific cases would I need to create this process? 

Integrating CRM data like Salesforce or HubSpot into Magileads via Zapier can be extremely useful in various scenarios. Here are some specific cases where this integration system could be beneficial:

1. Automation of contact management

Use case : You are a marketing or sales manager who manages a large volume of contacts and prospects in your CRM (Salesforce or HubSpot).

Need : Every time a new contact is added to your CRM, you want them to be automatically added to Magileads to immediately start receiving marketing communications or to be included in prospecting campaigns.

Solution via Zapier : Configure a Zap that triggers an action in Magileads each time a new contact is created in your CRM. This eliminates the need to manually import contacts and ensures that all your new leads are followed up consistently and quickly.

2. Lead Scoring data synchronization

Use case : Your sales team uses a lead scoring system in HubSpot to determine which prospects are the most promising. You want to use this information in Magileads to personalize marketing campaigns.

Need : Automatically sync HubSpot lead scores with Magileads so your marketing teams can target the hottest leads with specific campaigns.

Solution via Zapier : Create a Zap that triggers every time a lead's score is updated in HubSpot. Configure the action so that this information is automatically updated in Magileads. This allows your marketing team to tailor messages based on lead score, improving campaign relevance and effectiveness.

3. Management of sales opportunities

Use case : You are a sales manager who wants to track sales opportunities in Salesforce and automatically notify the marketing team to adjust their nurturing efforts.

Need : Every time an opportunity reaches a certain stage in Salesforce (e.g. “Proposal Sent”), you want the information to be updated in Magileads to adjust nurturing campaigns accordingly.

Solution via Zapier : Configure a Zap with a trigger based on the opportunity stage change in Salesforce. Use this information to create an action in Magileads that updates contacts or adjusts campaign segments. This ensures your nurturing efforts are aligned with the current state of sales opportunities.

4. Automation of follow-up campaigns

Use case : You want to automate the follow-up process for prospects who did not respond to an initial campaign in HubSpot.

Need : If a contact in HubSpot has not interacted with a campaign (for example, has not opened an email or clicked a link), you want that contact to be automatically added to a follow-up campaign in Magileads .

Solution via Zapier : Create a Zap that triggers an action when a contact meets certain criteria in HubSpot (like not having opened an email). Then configure Magileads to add this contact to a follow-up campaign . This ensures that your leads receive appropriate follow-up without manual effort from your team.

5. Centralization of customer data for consolidated reporting

Use case : You have teams using both Salesforce for sales and Magileads for marketing, and you want to centralize data for consolidated reporting.

Need : Automatically sync contact and activity data between Salesforce and Magileads to enable a unified overview of customer interactions.

Solution via Zapier : Set up a Zap for each type of data you want to synchronize (contacts, opportunities, activities). This ensures that all relevant data is available in both systems, facilitating consolidated reporting and more informed decision-making.

6. Dynamic campaign personalization

Use case : You want to personalize your marketing campaigns based on demographic and behavioral information stored in your CRM.

Need : Automatically transfer specific data such as industry, company size, or past interactions from your CRM to Magileads to personalize messages and offers.

Solution via Zapier : Use a Zap to extract this data whenever it is updated or changed in your CRM and update contact profiles in Magileads. This enables dynamic personalization of campaigns, increasing relevance and effectiveness.
