Integration Overview
Conversica Integrates with VinSolutions Connect using a Conversica Assistant CRM Profile. When you enable this profile in your CRM, it will enable a two-way transmission of data from VinSolutions to Conversica. Here's how it works:
- VinSolutions lead data will be automatically transmitted to your Conversica dashboard so your assistant can engage new leads as they arrive. The assistant will also take the appropriate actions when lead status updates are received.
- When your assistant engages a lead, the conversation history will be pushed back to the Lead Profile in VinSolutions.
This integration enables you to monitor your Revenue Digital Assistantâ„¢ 's conversations without leaving your CRM.

To set up the integration, you must meet the following requirements:
- You must have an active VinSolutions CRM instance

FAQs
Q: How often does Conversica receive lead data?
A: Conversica receives lead data from VinSolutions approximately every 15-18 minutes.
Q: What happens when a lead is merged in VinSolutions?
A: Conversica does not currently support merged leads. When a lead is merged with an existing lead profile in VinSolutions, the lead reference ID that Conversica uses to receive status updates is changed. This causes Conversica to no longer be able to identify status changes or other updates made in the CRM. As a result, there is the risk of the lead receiving inconsistent messages from the assistant. To prevent this, you can log in to Conversica's dashboard to manually stop messaging the lead.
Q: How long do we receive lead status updates for this CRM?
A: Conversica will receive updates for 7 days from the lead insertion date (Custom Integration).
