General Principle of CRM Integration with adsfox via Make
Integration Structure
- Trigger (Watch Event) – Make listens for changes in the CRM (e.g., creation or update of a sales opportunity / lead)
- Input Data (field mapping) – from CRM to Make, the fields are passed:
This integration pattern powers adsfox lead generation optimization for CRMs without a native connector.
○ Tel. → contact phone number (if no email)
○ Email. → contact email address
○ Value. → lead / transaction value (numeric)
3. Action (Send Conversion Event) – Make sends this data to adsfox via the adsfox module → Send Conversion Event.
Integration Logic
● The system always looks for the latest match by email or phone number.
● If the lead already has an assigned value, the integration does not overwrite this value.
● If the lead has no value, the system fills it according to the sent data.
● Value 0 = unqualified lead.
● Value > 0 = qualified lead with the given value.
● If the CRM does not have a dedicated “Value” field, you can use any numeric field or create a new one j it’s important that the client knows to enter the lead value in this field.
Data Validation and Update Rules
● During import, the system checks for duplicates in the key column (i.e., email or phone number).
● If it finds two identical records, it updates only one – the latest (according to modification time).
● If the contact already has a value, it is not updated.
● The integration does not modify historical events – it works solely based on the latest event.
Practical Implementation Tips
● Each CRM (Pipedrive, Zoho, Livespace, etc.) requires assigning fields: email, phone, value – names must be consistent with those recognized by adsfox.
● In Make, it’s best to set a trigger type “Watch Modified Deals”
● For clients who do not have a “Value” field – add it in the CRM and indicate it in the integration as the value source.
● It’s worth describing each Make scenario:
[CRM Name] → adsfox | sending lead values
What’s next?
Once the configuration described above is complete, the next step is to consistently and deliberately tag your leads, regardless of whether they come from Meta, Google, or other acquisition channels. The way leads are qualified and labeled directly impacts how advertising algorithms learn and optimize campaigns toward real business value — not just form submissions.
