Create New Teams and Users

The first step in the process is to create a team with your desired user groups, including yourself.  Teams allow you to add users and control app permissions and sharing rules.  Watch this video to help walk you through creating your first Teams.

Create New and Share Existing Email Templates

Now that your first Team is setup, you can create the email templates that you want people to have in their toolkit and that you can incorporate by default as email steps into your Plays.  Watch this quick video to help you create your email template library.

Create New and Share Existing Plays

With your email templates ready, you can now build out your entire Play framework to include a series of steps to accomplish an objective.  Plays can include phone calls, emails, and even LinkedIn steps.  We’ve even included a few Play templates that you can use below to help you get started.  Just be sure to customize them to your needs and business so that your team will want to use them!  Watch this quick video to guide you through importing one of these templates or creating a new play on your own.

Decide Record Enrollment Strategy

The last thing you’ll want to determine before rolling Playbooks out to your team is the strategy that will dictate who and when your reps should add records into Playbooks.  Check out this quick video for some ideas and tips and be sure to share your recommendations with your team.

Test Your CRM Integration As The Admin

As with any technology, it’s a good idea to do some basic testing before rolling it out to ensure everything is working properly and you didn’t miss anything.  The main thing we want to validate is that information is flowing back and forth as expected between Playbooks and your CRM.

Add Your Team Members

Now it’s time to go back to your Team setup page.  You’ll want to add one user first and have them test the CRM integration using their level of permissions.  Once testing is successful, you can go ahead and add the other users to the team.  They will get an email invite which will walk them through the initial setup.
