Background

Challenges
MindCypress faced several challenges in managing their leads, prospects, and communications effectively. They needed a CRM solution that could:
- Efficiently track and manage leads.
- Automate email notifications.
- Seamlessly integrate with their custom portal.
- Implement a structured process for managing lead statuses.
- Streamline the creation and management of prospects and deals.
- Automate the transfer of interview records to the leads module.
- Handle webinar leads with automated email workflows.
Solutions Implemented
To address these challenges, we customized the Zoho CRM for MindCypress with the following solutions:
1. Customized Leads Module:
- Lead Management: We customized the Leads module to record information about individuals interested in enrolling in MindCypress courses.
- Blueprint Activities: We created blueprints that outline the activities (calls, meetings, etc.) required at each stage of the lead’s journey.
- Email Notifications: Automated email notifications are triggered upon the creation of a new lead.
- Data Integration: Lead data is inserted into a custom portal via a webhook.
- API Integration for Lead Import: We developed a page that allows the import of leads from the custom portal into Zoho CRM using API integration. This ensures that all lead data is centralized and easily accessible.
- Blueprint for Lead Status: We set up a blueprint for the Leads module focused on the Lead Status field. This blueprint automates actions based on changes in the lead status, ensuring a consistent and structured follow-up process.
2. Prospects Module:
- Module Creation: A new “Prospects” module was created to manage potential clients more effectively.
- Blueprint Integration: When a prospect is created, it enters a blueprint that guides the process flow, eventually creating a deal in the Deals module for the prospect
3. Custom App Module:
- A custom APP module was developed with specific fields. When the Interview Status is marked as “Interested,” a custom function automatically transfers that record to the Leads module, ensuring no interested candidate is overlooked.
4. WebinarLead Module:
- Module Creation: A custom WebinarLead module was created with tailored fields to manage webinar-related leads.
- Workflow Automation: A workflow was set up to send email notifications to leads whenever the webinar status is updated, keeping potential customers informed and engaged.
5. Workflows and Functions:

6. Telephony Integration with Twilio:
- Incoming and Outgoing Calls: Integrated Twilio with Zoho CRM to handle incoming and outgoing calls. This integration allows for call logging, recording, and automated call notifications, ensuring efficient communication management.
