Pipeline Synchronization
Select the pipeline and status where new deals from Umnico will be directed. If you send inquiries directly to the main pipeline stage, the system will automatically add tags to deals: integration channel (e.g., Telegram), message type (message or comment). If you choose the "Send to 'Unsorted' of the main pipeline" option, tags and the work phone will not be added.
Access Settings
To connect, you need to authorize in amoCRM and confirm permissions for integration with Umnico. This ensures correct data transfer between platforms.
Reach out first
You can start a conversation with a client from a deal in amoCRM — even if they haven't messaged you yet. This feature is available only for WhatsApp and Telegram Personal, provided the client's number is already in the contact card.
Deal Settings
Configure the logic for handling repeat inquiries: create a new deal or add the message to the last closed one. This helps avoid duplication and keeps the entire communication history with the client in one place.
Once everything is set, click "Save" to apply the changes.
- After completing the integration setup in Umnico, go to amoCRM.
In the left side menu, select the "AmoMarket" section. Then open the "Installed" tab — Umnico will appear in the list of installed applications. Click on Umnico to open the integration description page.
Click the "Save" button.
- Done! The integration is now fully set up and ready for use.
In the amoCRM side menu, the Umnico widget will be displayed. It offers extended capabilities for interacting with clients. For more details on its functions, read the "Umnico Widget in amoCRM" guide to make the most of the integration.
Working with Telegram Inquiries in amoCRM
Integrating Telegram with amoCRM allows you to establish a clear and manageable process for handling inquiries. All conversations are displayed within the CRM, simplifying communication control, increasing response speed, and improving service quality.
💬 New Telegram Inquiry = New Deal
When a potential client first messages you on Telegram, a new deal is automatically created in the selected sales pipeline in amoCRM. The deal will be tagged "Telegram" and contain user data, including the conversation, name, and, if available, phone number. This allows you to start working on the request immediately without manual data entry.
🔗 Linking Inquiries to Existing Clients
If the client's Telegram account is already registered in the amoCRM database (e.g., by phone number), the new conversation will automatically be linked to the existing contact or previous deal. This helps maintain interaction history and avoid duplicating clients in the CRM.
📨 Initiating Conversations with Clients
With amoCRM, managers can reach out to customers first via Telegram Personal or WhatsApp (including both web and business accounts) — all you need is the customer's phone number. This feature comes in handy for reengaging warm leads, sending reminders, discussing terms, or sharing documents.
By integrating with Umnico, communication channels expand even further. Through the Umnico widget within amoCRM, it's possible to reach out first across Telegram Personal, WhatsApp, Email, and WhatsApp Business API. This ensures efficient interaction with clients.
🔄 Continuing Conversations in Closed Deals
If a client messages again after a deal is closed, you can choose where to direct the message: to the last closed deal or create a new one. This helps retain the context of the inquiry and saves the user's time, especially in long-term or cyclical sales.
👥 Manual and Automatic Routing
Using built-in amoCRM tools or integrations with Umnico, you can assign deal responsibilities manually or automatically — for example, based on inquiry type, time of day, or user workload. This increases response speed and helps meet SLAs.
📊 Source Analytics
In amoCRM, you can track how many deals came through Telegram, at what stage they stall, how many sales are made, and how much time users spend responding. Thanks to tags and reports, you'll easily understand how effective this communication channel is.
