Getting Started With Ivorey™ CRM

Before you steam ahead setting up your CRM, here's some good-to-know information that will ensure you understand how the CRM works in Ivorey™.

Learn the basics of the CRM

Think of the CRM as the single source of truth for your business. Every lead, client or customer lives here, along with their full activity history including emails, messages, bookings, purchases and notes.

The CRM allows you to:

  • Store and manage all contacts in one place

  • Track where each contact is in their journey

  • View conversations across email, SMS, WhatsApp and social DMs in one place

  • Trigger and automate follow-ups, reminders and internal tasks

  • Create visibility for you and your team

  • Capture leads automatically from forms, funnels, calendars and ads

  • Assign contacts to pipelines, workflows, tags and custom fields

Almost everything in Ivorey™ — site pages, funnels, forms, calendars, automations, courses and communities — feeds into or is triggered by the CRM.

What's the difference between the CRM and contacts?

Contacts are the individual records of people in your system, including their name, email, phone number, tags, notes and activity history.

The CRM is the system that organises and manages those contacts, allowing you to:

  • Track their journey

  • Automate communication

  • Move them through pipelines

  • Assign ownership and tasks

  • Analyse performance

  • Automate things like emails, reminders, sms, etc.

In short:
Contacts are the data. The CRM is how you use it.
