CRM Integration: Contact and Deal Management
Wire your OpenClaw agent into your CRM so contacts are created, deals are updated, and every conversation is logged without you lifting a finger.
What You Will Get
After completing this setup, your OpenClaw agent will read and write directly to your CRM. New leads that come in through any connected channel will be added as contacts with all relevant fields populated. Deals will be created, moved through stages, and annotated with notes from every conversation your agent handles.
You will no longer need to copy information between chat windows and your CRM manually. The agent maps incoming data to the correct CRM fields, deduplicates contacts by email or phone, and attaches conversation transcripts to the matching deal record. This means your pipeline is always accurate and up to date.
By the end, your sales team will have a single source of truth. Every touchpoint, whether it happened on WhatsApp, email, or your website chat, will appear on the contact timeline inside your CRM, giving reps full context before every call.
Step-by-Step Setup
Follow these steps to connect your CRM to your running OpenClaw instance on RunTheAgent.
Open the Connections Panel
Navigate to your agent dashboard on RunTheAgent and click Connections in the left sidebar. This panel lists all available third-party integrations. Locate the CRM section and select your CRM provider from the list.
Authenticate Your CRM Account
Click Connect and follow the OAuth flow to grant your OpenClaw agent access to your CRM. You will be redirected to your CRM's authorization page. Once you approve, the connection status will turn green on the RunTheAgent dashboard.
Map Contact Fields
Open the Field Mapping tab inside the CRM connection settings. Match each incoming data field from your agent to the corresponding CRM field, such as first name, last name, email, phone, and company. Save the mapping so new contacts are created with complete information every time.
Configure Deal Pipeline Sync
Select which CRM pipeline your agent should use for new deals. Map your pipeline stages so the agent knows when to move a deal from Qualified to Proposal Sent or from Negotiation to Closed Won. You can set conditions that trigger stage changes based on conversation keywords or user confirmations.
Enable Conversation Logging
Turn on the activity logging toggle so every message exchange is saved as a note or activity on the relevant contact and deal record. Choose whether to log full transcripts or summaries. This gives your reps complete context when they pick up a conversation the agent started.
Set Deduplication Rules
Configure how the agent handles duplicate contacts. You can deduplicate by email address, phone number, or a combination of both. When a match is found, the agent updates the existing record instead of creating a new one, keeping your CRM clean and accurate.
Test with a Sample Interaction
Send a test message to your agent from one of your connected channels. Verify that a new contact appears in your CRM with the correct fields. Check that a deal was created in the right pipeline and that the conversation log is attached. Adjust field mappings if anything looks off.
Tips and Best Practices
Use Custom Fields Strategically
Create custom CRM fields for data your agent collects that does not fit standard fields, such as product interest, budget range, or preferred contact time. This enriches your contact records and powers smarter segmentation later.
Sync in Both Directions
Enable bidirectional sync so changes made by reps in the CRM are reflected in the agent's context. If a rep updates a deal stage manually, the agent should know about it before its next interaction with that contact.
Review Logs Weekly
Check the sync logs on RunTheAgent every week to catch any failed writes or field mismatches early. A quick review prevents data drift and ensures your CRM stays the single source of truth.
Tag Agent-Created Records
Add an automatic tag or source field to every contact and deal the agent creates. This lets your team filter and report on agent-generated pipeline separately from manually entered records.
