Feature Snapshot

Summary:
Thumbtack integration automates the capture of leads submitted via Thumbtack negotiations and seamlessly pushes them into your lead management system or CRM—ensuring an efficient, error-reduced lead acquisition process.

How does the Thumbtack integration work?

The integration connects your Thumbtack account with your lead management platform by utilizing the Thumbtack API to retrieve negotiation submissions. Once connected, the submitted data — such as name, email, phone number, and custom form fields — is automatically mapped to corresponding lead fields within your system. Custom routing rules can then be applied to qualify leads before they hit your CRM, eliminating manual intervention and enhancing overall data accuracy.
