In ActiveDEMAND, under Automation->Lead Processing you can customize your lead distribution and lead management. If you have access to the Sales Lead Notifications or Phone Call Sales Notification workflows, you now will see a new workflow item in the Workflow Actions. 

NOTE: If your Sales Lead Notifications workflow is read only, send an email to support@activedemand.com, they will add the Nimble workflow element to your workflow for you.

Importing Contacts From Nimble -> ActiveDEMAND

After Nimble has been linked to your account, importing contacts is easy. In ActiveDEMAND, browse to Contacts->Import Contacts. You should see an option for pulling contacts from Nimble:

You will be given full control over what to do if contacts exist, what fields map to what, etc.

Automatically update contacts in ActiveDEMAND from Nimble

One of the more powerful features of the ActiveDEMAND-Nimble integration is the ability to update contacts in ActiveDEMAND automatically. To automatically push changes from Nimble to ActiveDEMAND, use the contact import scheduler (Contacts->CRM Contact Updates ). Nimble will update ActiveDEMAND on a scheduled basis. The import scheduler filter system allows you to have full control over what gets data and which contacts are automatically updated in ActiveDEMAND.

Note: as with any import, ActiveDEMAND will never delete data as a result of an import. Most fields will 'update' as a result of an import with the exception of phone numbers and email addresses. As a contact can have more than one email address, an import will add email addresses and phone numbers to the existing list.

Automatically Schedule Tasks in Nimble

If you are looking to have marketing email sends and marketing email opens in Nimble, you will want to use the Activity Scheduler workflow item.

In ActiveDEMAND

In any workflow you can use automation to schedule tasks in Nimble. Drag the Nimble Task onto the workflow.
