AI agent + CRM: automatic lead capture from every channel
Your AI agent captures leads via chat, phone, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Instagram. But what happens next? Here is how to connect every channel to your CRM.
Author: Heyloha Team
It is 11 PM. Your phone rings.
A potential client calls your real estate office. Not during business hours, but on a Tuesday evening. The AI phone agent picks up, answers questions about a property, and asks if the caller would like to schedule a viewing. Name, phone number, and preferred time are captured. Before you open your laptop the next morning, the lead is already in HubSpot.
This is not a future scenario. This is what happens when you connect an AI agent to your CRM.
Why manual lead transfer does not work
78% of customers buy from the company that responds first. Yet the average response time to a lead in small businesses is over 5 hours. Leads from WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, or chat conversations get copied to a spreadsheet, forwarded via email, or worse: forgotten entirely.
Every manual step is a chance to lose the deal. A typo in a phone number. A lead that sits until Monday while your competitor responded on Saturday. Manual transfer does not scale and costs you revenue.
How automatic CRM integration works
With Heyloha, it works differently. The moment a visitor shares their contact details, through any channel, the AI sends that data straight to your CRM. No human intervention, no delay.
The AI agent collects name, email, phone number, and optionally address details naturally during the conversation. Once all fields are filled, the data goes to your CRM. The visitor gets an instant confirmation.
This works across every channel: the chatbot on your website, the AI phone agent, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Instagram. A customer who sends a WhatsApp message at 11 PM is in your CRM the next morning with full context.
HubSpot: contacts and notes created automatically
Heyloha has a direct integration with HubSpot. No Zapier or middleware needed. When your AI agent captures contact details, a contact is automatically created in HubSpot, or updated if the email address already exists.
All 8 contact fields (first name, last name, email, phone, address, zip code, city, country) map directly to standard HubSpot properties. No custom fields required. When a visitor books an appointment through the AI agent, that appointment is automatically forwarded to HubSpot as well.
Enable 'Include transcript' and Heyloha also creates a Note on the HubSpot contact. Your sales team sees exactly what the visitor was interested in, what questions they asked, and what the AI answered. That is the difference between 'there is a new lead' and 'this lead wants a viewing on Thursday, has a budget of 400,000, and is looking in the city center'.

ActiveCampaign: from lead to email campaign in seconds
Using ActiveCampaign for email marketing? You can have leads from AI conversations land directly in your contact list. Name, email, and phone are synced automatically.
Imagine: someone asks about gym membership prices via WhatsApp. The AI agent answers and captures their email. Within seconds, the contact is in ActiveCampaign and a 3-email welcome series with a trial offer starts automatically.
ActiveCampaign's lead scoring picks it up. The prospect opens the first email, clicks through to the pricing page, and gets tagged as 'warm lead'. Your sales team knows exactly who to call.

Zapier, Make, or n8n: connect to 5,000+ tools
Using a different CRM, project management tool, or internal system? With the generic webhook, Heyloha sends leads as structured JSON to any URL. Connect it to Zapier, Make (Integromat), or n8n and you have access to over 5,000 apps.
An event agency routing LinkedIn leads to Monday.com. An online store sending Instagram DM contacts to Mailchimp. A law firm pushing phone intake data into Notion. The possibilities are endless.
The webhook includes all contact fields plus an idempotency key so your endpoint can deduplicate retries.
Direct connection to KeyVue
Real estate agents using KeyVue as their CRM can have leads from AI conversations automatically created as new leads in KeyVue. Lead type, status, source, and priority are configured in KeyVue itself. Heyloha detects the webhook URL automatically.
Read the KeyVue setup guide for the steps.
Every channel, same CRM
What makes Heyloha different from most chatbot platforms: it is not just a chatbot. It is a complete AI team that works across every customer channel. The chatbot on your website, the AI phone agent answering incoming calls, the WhatsApp agent, the LinkedIn agent, and the Instagram agent.
All those channels feed the same CRM integrations. A lead from a phone call at 6 PM lands in the same HubSpot account as a lead from an Instagram DM at midnight. Your sales team gets the full picture, regardless of channel.
You can configure per integration which events trigger it: contact details captured, appointment booked, or a goal reached. Set up a HubSpot connection for viewings and a separate ActiveCampaign connection for newsletter signups.
Secure and reliable
Your API tokens and keys are stored encrypted (AES-256). Webhook URLs must use HTTPS. Every dispatch attempt is logged, and if a temporary error occurs, Heyloha retries automatically: 1 inline attempt plus 3 background retries with exponential backoff.
No leads lost to a brief CRM outage. And if all attempts fail, the contact is still safely stored in the Heyloha conversation history.
Live in 2 minutes
Setting up a CRM integration takes literally 2 minutes. Choose your platform (HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, KeyVue, or generic), enter your credentials, select the contact fields you want to collect, and you are done.
