Edited

In addition to managing contacts and opportunities, CareFunnels gives you built-in communication tools that make it easier to stay connected with leads, clients, and caregivers. This article explains the key features and how to use them.

Recap: How Contacts Enter the System

Before diving into communications, let’s quickly review the three ways contacts appear in CareFunnels:

  1. Manual Entry – Add them directly by clicking the + icon and entering details.

  2. Form Submissions – Automatically create contacts, send automated messages, and generate opportunities when a form is filled out.

  3. Phone Calls – Incoming calls are recorded, and you can add the caller’s details and categorize them properly.

With these contacts in place, you can now use CareFunnels’ communication tools.

Key Communication Features

  • Call Recording & Playback

    • Review calls directly in the system.

    • Great for confirming details, training staff, or ensuring no information was missed.

  • Email & SMS Messaging

    • Send messages right from within CareFunnels.

    • Use prebuilt templates or write custom responses.

    • Messages are stored in the contact’s record, so your team can see the entire communication history.

  • Two-Way Conversations

    • Reply to leads via text or email and see their responses inside the platform.

    • Keeps all communications centralized and eliminates the need to switch between tools.

  • Automation Triggers

    • Communications can be automated based on actions (e.g., a form submission sends a welcome email).

    • Saves time while ensuring every lead gets prompt follow-up.

Why This Matters

  • Efficiency: Manage all communication in one place.

  • Visibility: See a full history of conversations with any contact.

  • Consistency: Ensure your team communicates with leads in a professional and timely way.


Tip: Use the communication history during team hand-offs. Whoever picks up the conversation next will instantly see what’s already been said and can continue smoothly.
