· #100 most-usedCall, email, and close — your agent handles the paperwork
Close is the sales CRM built for high-velocity teams — with calling, SMS, and email built in so reps never leave the app to communicate. Connect Close to Actionist and your agent can create leads the moment a form fires, update opportunity stages after every call, send follow-up emails from the rep's inbox, and pull pipeline reports on demand — all without your reps touching the keyboard. The result: reps spend time selling, not logging.
Eliminates manual work. Automating lead creation, call logging, follow-up email drafting, and pipeline reporting eliminates the manual CRM hygiene that consumes 60–90 minutes per rep per day.
What your Close agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Close × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Inbound email to onboarded lead in 90 seconds
When a prospect emails your sales address, your agent reads the message, pulls up any existing Close lead for that domain, creates a new contact and opportunity if none exists, logs the inbound email as a Close activity, and pings the assigned rep in Slack with the prospect's context and a direct link to the lead — all before the rep has seen the notification. The entire intake sequence that used to take 15 minutes of manual CRM work completes in under 90 seconds, and no lead ever falls through the inbox gap.
