Freshworks CRM
· #306 most-usedThe sales CRM where your agent closes the gap
Freshworks CRM (Freshsales) is a full-stack sales platform covering contacts, deals, accounts, appointments, tasks, and AI lead scoring — all in one place. Connect it to Actionist and your agent can create contacts from inbound forms, move deals between pipeline stages, log call notes, and react to lead-score spikes without a rep lifting a finger. The result: reps spend their time on conversations, not on CRM data entry.
Eliminates manual work. Automation eliminates the manual cycle of logging call notes, updating deal stages after each interaction, and chasing reps to complete overdue CRM tasks.
What your Freshworks CRM agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Freshworks CRM × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Inbound email to deal in 60 seconds
When a prospect emails your sales address, your agent reads the message, finds or creates the matching contact in Freshsales, opens a deal at the right pipeline stage based on the email intent, posts a summary card to the assigned rep in Slack, and books a discovery call on Google Calendar — all before a human has read the subject line. Reps walk in each morning with a pre-populated pipeline, not a list of emails to process manually.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
