FunnelFLARE Lead Insights for Nimble

To get the most out of FunnelFLARE and Nimble, your first step should be to install the FunnelFLARE Lead Insights Chrome extension. This adds outbound call tracking, prospect and account overlays into Nimble.

The Basics

Data flowing to Nimble from FunnelFLARE happens when a prospect does something that FunnelFLARE is tracking. For example, a prospect fills out a form, this could create a new deal in Nimble. 

Note:Data flowing FROM Nimble to FunnelFLARE is handled automatically using the Import Scheduler (Contacts->CRM Contact Updates).

The CRM Contact Update system sets up the connection between Nimble to FunnelFLARE. It is not a scheduler ... there is a real-time update from Nimble to FunnelFLARE whenever a contact is updated in Nimble.
