Papo Global Tutorial – CRM and Service Center

> ---

## Tutorial goals

* **Centralize** all channels and customer data.

* **Organize** leads, people, companies, opportunities, tasks and notes.

* **Automate** classifications and messages by funnel stage.

> Pillars highlighted in the video: **centralization, organization and automation**.

---

## Prerequisites

1. Access to **Papo Global** with administrator permission for the workspace/organization.

2. Access to the **CRM** module.

3. (Optional) A **Google** account to connect **Calendar** and **Email**.

---

## Overview (what you will see)

* **Multi-agent service center**: brings all your inboxes together in one place.

* **CRM**: core objects (People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes) + custom objects.

* **Funnel** in **Kanban** or **Table** view, with **tags** and **stages**.

* **Webhooks** and automatic messages when **moving cards** between columns.

* **Workflows** (e.g., when a lead is added manually, send a form and create a Company/Person).

* **AI Calendar/Self-scheduling** and **Google Calendar integration**.

* **Members and Roles** (Admin vs. Member) and invitations by link or email.

---

## Step by step

### 1) Multi-agent service center

1. Open the **Multi-agent service center**.

2. **Add/manage your inboxes** (e.g., the channels you use).

3. Check that everything shows up in the same panel – this **centralizes service** and history.

> Benefit: a single view to distribute conversations and feed the CRM.

---

### 2) CRM structure

1. Open **CRM** → review the **People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes** objects.

2. Go to **Data Model** to **create extra objects** if needed (e.g., *Surveys*).

3. Adjust the **fields** to match your process. You can **show/hide** and reorder fields.

> Tip: define field and stage names from the start to avoid rework.

---

### 3) Lead qualification (AI or manual)

1. In the **CRM**, turn on **Artificial Intelligence** to **automatically categorize** your leads (e.g., to identify *hot customers*).

2. Alternatively, **categorize them manually**.

3. Use **Tags** to mark context (source, priority, persona, stage, etc.).

> Important: keep tags/stages **consistent** – as mentioned in the video, certain values must be **exactly the same** as the names used in the funnel ("the same hashtag is the column value").

---

### 4) Funnel in Kanban (or Table)

1. In the **Opportunities** module, choose the **Kanban** or **Table** view.

2. **Drag cards from left to right** to reflect progress in your process.

3. Set up the **text/message** that should be sent **when the card is moved** (see Step 5 – Webhook).

> Common practice: *New → Contacted → Proposal → Closing*, adapting the names to your own stages.

---

### 5) Automation when moving stages (Kanban General Webhook)

**Goal**: when you move a card to the next column, **send an automatic message** and **update data**.

1. On the **Kanban** screen, copy the **General Webhook** provided.

2. Go to **CRM → Settings → Webhook**.

3. Click **Create** (even if one already exists, create a sample one for testing) and **paste the webhook URL**.

4. **Set the event** related to **stage movement** (when the card is dragged).

5. Configure the **predefined message** that should be sent when the card moves forward.

6. Make sure the **values/hashtags** used in the webhook **match exactly** the **column names** in your Kanban.

7. Save and **test** by moving a card **from left to right** – the message should be sent.

> If it does not fire: check the URL, the selected event, permissions and **whether the column/hashtag value is 100% identical** to the Kanban.

---

### 6) Visible fields and useful shortcuts

1. Customize the **visible fields** in Opportunities (e.g., remove *Company* or *Close Date* if they do not make sense for you).

2. In **Hidden Fields**, add a **shortcut field** such as **"Link to Chat"**.

3. Result: when you **click** it, the chat related to that lead/customer **opens instantly**.

---

### 7) Ongoing campaigns and priority

1. Keep your **campaigns running 24/7** for lead capture and nurturing.

2. With **AI + tags**, identify **who is hot** and prioritize contact.

3. **Guide the sales team** with views/filters that make **the next steps** clear.

---

### 8) Tasks, Attachments and Notifications

1. In **Tasks**, click **Add Task** (e.g., *Meeting*).

2. **Assign an owner** (e.g., *Marcos*). The owner receives a **notification**.

3. **Attach files** relevant to the task.

4. Track in **Tasks** what is due, completed and pending.

5. Use **Notes** to record learnings and decisions.

---

### 9) Calendar and AI Self-scheduling

1. In the **Companies** module (and/or in the system calendar), **connect your Google Calendar**.

2. Turn on **AI Self-scheduling** (the system suggests and books time slots automatically).

3. With the Calendar connected, appointments **show up automatically** in the CRM.

> Remember to authorize access to your Google account during the connection.

---

### 10) Workflows (practical example from the video)

Create a flow like the one demonstrated:

1. **Trigger**: new **manual lead**.

2. **Action**: **send a form** to the lead.

3. **Action**: **create a Company** for this lead.

4. **Action**: **create a Person** linked to the Company.

5. **Adjust** the next steps to your operation (sending a proposal, tasks, etc.).

> You can orchestrate this through **Workflows** and/or with **n8n** via API, as shown.

---

### 11) Profile and Experience settings

1. In **Profile**, update your **photo, name, email and password**.

2. In **Experience**, adjust the **theme (light/dark)**, **time zone** and **language**.

---

### 12) Accounts and Email

1. In **Accounts**, **sign in with Google**.

2. Complete the **email connection** so messages **arrive directly** in the system.

---

### 13) Members, Roles and Permissions

1. In **Members**, click **Invite** to generate an **invitation link** or send it by **email**.

2. Set **Roles**: **Administrator** (broad access) or **Member** (restricted access).

3. Adjust the **rules/permissions** for what each profile **can** or **cannot** do.

---

## Best practices

* **Name Kanban columns/stages** carefully and **standardize** them.

* Keep **tags short and consistent** (source, segment, priority, stage).

* **Test webhooks** in a sample environment before going live.

* **Use hidden fields** for shortcuts (e.g., opening the chat) and auxiliary data.

* Keep **campaigns always-on** and **filter hot leads** for quick action.

* Centralize all communication in Papo for a **complete history**.

---

## Troubleshooting (quick FAQ)

**Message not sent when moving a card in the Kanban?**

* Check the **webhook URL**, the **event** and **permissions**.

* Confirm that the stage **value/hashtag** is **identical** to the column name.

**Tag not categorizing correctly?**

* Check **spelling** and **upper/lower case**. Align it with the funnel standard.

**Calendar not syncing?**

* Reconnect **Google Calendar** and make sure permissions are granted.

**Owner did not receive the task notification?**

* Confirm the **owner**, the registered **email** and the role's **permissions**.

**Emails not showing up in the CRM?**

* Sign in with **Google** again in **Accounts** and review the access authorizations.
