Monica CRM is an open-source personal relationship manager that tracks the people who matter — contacts, conversations, activities, reminders, gifts, and key dates — in one searchable place. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can log calls automatically, fire reminders on birthdays and anniversaries, surface relationship history before every meeting, and keep every task and note current — so your team never walks into a conversation cold.

Eliminates manual work. Automating manual activity logging, reminder creation, and note-taking eliminates the CRM data-entry burden that pulls reps and managers away from the conversations themselves.

Client check-in, logged before you hang up

When an inbound email from a known client hits the monitored inbox, the agent retrieves the sender's full Monica CRM contact — past activities, open tasks, and conversation history — and surfaces a brief for the CSM before they pick up the phone. After the call, it logs a new activity with the outcome, appends a message to the open conversation thread, and drops a follow-up reminder on the calendar — all before the CSM has typed a single word.

FAQs

Questions about Monica CRM + Actionist

How do I connect Monica CRM to Actionist?
Open the Apps tab, find Monica CRM, and click Connect. MCP is the default and fastest path — you authorise via your Monica instance and the agent gains access to contacts, activities, notes, reminders, and conversations without any token management. If you're self-hosted, enter your instance domain during setup. For API token auth, generate a Personal Access Token in Monica Settings → API and paste it into the credential field.
What permissions does the agent need on my Monica CRM account?
The agent needs read and write access to the objects it operates on — contacts, activities, calls, notes, reminders, conversations, tasks, journal entries, and tags. MCP scopes permissions to only what the agent requests; API token access is full-account by default, so create a dedicated token if you want to limit surface area. No admin-level permissions are required for standard operations.
Can the agent work across both cloud-hosted and self-hosted Monica instances?
Yes. For Monica Cloud (monicahq.com), the MCP path or API token both work out of the box. For self-hosted Monica, enter your instance domain (e.g. https://crm.yourcompany.com) during credential setup and provide an API token generated on that instance. There is no difference in available actions — all 52 operations work against either deployment.
Which Monica CRM objects can the agent read and write?
The agent covers activities, calls, contacts, contact fields, contact tags, conversations, conversation messages, journal entries, notes, reminders, tags, and tasks — 52 operations in total across all 12 object types. It cannot currently access Monica's relationship graph (who knows whom), debt tracking, or document attachments, as those are not exposed via the API.
How does the agent avoid creating duplicate contacts?
Before creating a contact, configure the workflow to first call Retrieve all contacts and filter by email. If a match exists, the agent updates the existing contact rather than creating a new one. You can also add a 'needs-review' tag to suspected duplicates for a human to confirm before any merge action. The Monica CRM trigger 'Contact created' can also fire a deduplication check automatically.
Can I set up automated birthday and anniversary reminders?
Yes — this is one of Monica CRM's strongest agent use cases. The 'Important date approaching' trigger fires a configurable number of days before any birthday or anniversary stored on a contact. The agent then retrieves the contact's profile, drafts a personalised message using notes and past activities, and queues it for your review. No manual calendar monitoring required.
Will automated activity logging cause duplicate entries if I also log manually?
Only if both the agent and the rep log the same event. To prevent this, set a convention: the agent logs activities immediately (within seconds of a trigger), and reps are instructed not to log the same event manually. Alternatively, the agent can check Retrieve all activities before creating one, comparing the contact ID and date — if an activity from today already exists, it updates rather than creates.
How do I handle data erasure requests for a Monica CRM contact?
Build an erasure workflow that calls Delete a contact (which cascades to most associated records in Monica) after first exporting the contact's data for the 30-day retention window required by most privacy regulations. Log each deletion to a compliance sheet via Google Sheets. If you need selective deletion — removing only certain notes or calls — use the individual delete actions for those object types before deleting the contact itself.
