‍How Intaker clients are using Zapier

Google Sheets to manage leads

Google sheets is a spreadsheet application. Lawyers often use it to manage leads. A sheet can be shared with many collaborators throughout the law firm to keep track of case IDs, billable hours, deadlines, and other client information.

When integrated with Intaker, any lead that comes through the chat will get automatically added to your Google Sheets. This system allows for seamless lead management. Intaker also integrates with nearly all CRMs. Using CRMs to manage client relationships and Google Sheets to handle lead information is a common strategy among lawyers.

Slack for instant notifications

Slack is a messaging program used to communicate with team members online. It is an excellent alternative to email, allowing for instant messaging between colleagues. When sound is enabled, a notification chime will sound whenever a new message comes through on a laptop or smartphone.

When it comes to integrating Slack with Intaker, you'll get notified in Slack of any new leads. Receiving notifications is a convenient way to know when someone has inquired on your site, allowing for a prompt response.

Mailchimp

Another commonly used integration is Mailchimp, a marketing automation and email platform. It allows you to customize emails with your law firm's branding and send mass messages to clients and leads.

Integrating Intaker with Mailchimp will instantly add each new lead's information to your mailing list. You can create different groups to send emails--for example, leads, current clients, and past clients. You can keep in touch with emails targeted at each group. When it comes to past clients, in particular, this can be a powerful tool for gaining referrals.
