Availability note: Responsebird’s Zapier connection for this platform is currently marked coming soon on the Integrations page. This article is a workflow planning guide, not a live setup or supported integration. Check the current Integrations page on responsebird.com before choosing a connector.

Keep every client boundary explicit

Agencies should map each client location or sub-account separately and verify where a contact is created, who can see it, and which phone number is used. Do not assume that a workflow configured in one location will apply to another. Record the client, workspace, and responsible operator for every test.

• Confirm the intended client location
• Check user permissions and shared inbox visibility
• Keep sample data separate between clients

Define the lead and pipeline handoff

Decide which event represents a new inquiry and how it maps to a contact or opportunity in the specific account. Establish who owns the next action and whether a pipeline stage can change automatically. Keep the existing agency or client process intact until the handoff has been reviewed.

• Source form or campaign
• Contact owner and opportunity owner
• Stage changes that require staff approval

Set client-specific response rules

Each client needs approved service details, business hours, escalation contacts, and language for unavailable appointments. Separate shared agency guidance from client-specific facts. Document what the assistant must never promise, and how a client can request a human handoff.

• Approved services and service area
• Hours, urgent-request handling, and escalation path
• Client-approved tone and contact method

Run isolated tests

Test one client location at a time with a new lead, an existing contact, an opt-out, and a request outside business hours. Verify that the correct client data and owner appear in the resulting record. Review permissions with the client before using real customer details.

• Confirm no cross-client record or message appears
• Check contact consent and suppression rules
• Get the client’s sign-off on the handoff
