The REISift + Smarter Contact integration allows you to send records from your REISift account to Smarter Contact (Professional and Business Plans). With our Business Plan, you can also receive information back, updating the records in REISift in real time as you disposition them in Smarter Contact.

Installing Outbound Integration

To set up the outbound integration, navigate to the Settings -> Integrations section of your REISift account, and select Smarter Contact.

Next, select Connect with Smarter Contact. You may be prompted to log into your Smarter Contact account if you are not logged in already.

Once you click to connect, you're all set to start sending records.

Sending Records

To send records through the integration, filter and select the records you want to send from the Records page and select Send to -> Integrations

Next, select Smarter Contact. The option under phone types, phone statuses, and phone tags determine which phone numbers are send. For example the options below would send only phone numbers that are listed as mobile phone type and have no phone status in your REISift account.

Enter the List Name, this will be the name of the list that appears in your Contacts in Smarter Contact, then select Next.

We will add auto-tags based on where and when the records are being sent. You can also add any custom tags, for example the name of the campaign or a tag for the SMS attempt.

Next, review the options you've selected and click Send Contacts.

You can track the progress of your transfer from the Activity -> Predictive Dialer section of your account.

Once the transfer is complete you should see the records under the Contacts section of your Smarter Contact account.

Note:
     When we send records through the integration, we send one contact per phone number, for example, if there are 2 numbers being sent, the contact will appear twice. This is so you can disposition by each phone number.
