A Visual Walkthrough of the Ivorey™ CRM

Looking to streamline your client relationships and keep everything organised in one place? This guide will walk you through the CRM inside your Ivorey™ platform - from contact management and tasks to appointments, notes, documents, and messaging. It's everything you need to stay on top of your client relationships without anything slipping through the cracks.


Getting Started with the CRM

The CRM inside Ivorey™ gives you a complete view of every interaction your clients have with your brand. You can track conversations, assign tasks, book appointments, share documents, and review their payment history - without leaving their client file!

Whether you're managing leads, onboarding new clients, or keeping track of long-term relationships, the CRM makes it easy to stay connected and in control.

What You Can See in a Contact File:

Each contact profile includes a holistic view of the client journey, including:

  • Messages and DMs from Instagram, Facebook, and email

  • Tags (e.g. lead, client, VIP)

  • Opt-in history (e.g. freebie downloads, email sequences)

  • Courses and communities they have access to

  • Booked or cancelled appointments

  • Document history and client portal access

  • Payments, invoices, and subscriptions

  • Internal activity logs

You can also:

  • Send emails, SMS, or Instagram DMs

  • Use pre-written templates with snippets

  • Leave internal notes for your team

  • Create, assign, and track tasks

Activity Log

The activity log gives a full history of every interaction with that contact: from form submissions and course enrollments to appointments and email deliveries. You can even see whether a confirmation email has been read or not.


Notes & Internal Communication

Leave time-stamped notes on a client profile to keep your team aligned. Whether you're flagging a sensitive issue or sharing a status update on a proposal, these notes help ensure continuity and clarity.

Tasks

Use the Tasks feature to:

  • Create reminders and follow-ups

  • Assign tasks to yourself or your team

  • Track task status (pending, complete, overdue)

  • Link tasks directly to contacts

  • Edit task details and deadlines on the fly

No more sticky notes or forgotten follow-ups - everything is housed in one simple dashboard.

Appointments

See upcoming, confirmed, and cancelled appointments at a glance. You can also:

  • Create appointments on behalf of your client after a call

  • Track the appointment status

  • Log follow-up notes


Documents

Easily manage any shared files:

  • View documents sent and received

  • Track document status (e.g. signed, pending)

  • Connect with your client portal for seamless sharing


Payments & Subscriptions

From inside the CRM, you can:

  • View all transactions, invoices, and payment history

  • Track active subscriptions

  • Spot upcoming or overdue invoices quickly


Pipelines & Opportunities

Use pipelines to map and manage your client journey. You can:

  • Add a contact to a sales or onboarding pipeline

  • Track each stage of the journey (e.g. Inquiry, Discovery Call, Proposal Sent)

  • Assign pipeline steps to team members

  • Stay on top of conversion milestones


Unified Inbox & Messaging

While the CRM gives you deep visibility into one contact, the Unified Inbox gives you a bird's-eye view of all conversations. From here you can:

  • Manage DMs, emails, and Facebook messages in one place

  • Send quick responses using saved snippets

  • Set tasks or create opportunities based on incoming inquiries

  • Ensure no message is left unanswered


Why It Matters

With the CRM, you no longer need to chase details across multiple platforms or worry about missing something important. Every step of your client experience is documented, visible, and actionable — helping you and your team stay efficient, responsive, and high-touch at scale.
