Insightly keeps working after the deal closes: projects, milestones, delivery. The calls keep coming too. When a client rings mid-project, Abby answers, takes the details, and the call lands as a record linked to the project itself, not floating in a general inbox.

The project manager sees the question next to the work it affects, with a task already created if a callback was promised.

The Lead Arrives With Its Story

On the sales side, a first phone call is the best-qualified moment a lead ever has, and usually the least recorded. Abby's receptionists take that call, and the lead appears in Insightly with the conversation attached as call notes: who they are, what they need, how soon, and how they found you.

By the time your rep calls back, the qualifying is half done. And when you convert the lead to an opportunity, those first-call notes stay on the record.

Won: the opportunity converts, the project kicks off, and the call history rides along on linked records

2 · THE HANDOFFWhen you win the work and spin up the project, the first-call notes are already attached; delivery starts informed.

3 · ON THE PROJECTDelivery-side calls land linked to the project, so the team sees each question next to the milestone it affects.

Selling It, Then Shipping It

New-business callsEvery inquiry is answered live and lands as a lead with source and call notes; nothing rides on a voicemail.

Mid-project questionsClients call about schedules and specifics; the call is linked to the project with a task for whoever owns the answer.

Handoffs that hold upWhen sales hands work to delivery, the first-call notes are already on the linked records, no re-telling the story.

FAQs

Does Abby's virtual receptionist integrate with Insightly?

Yes, natively. Calls are answered by live receptionists and land in Insightly automatically: leads and contacts on the sales side, linked records on projects for active work.

How do calls get linked to the right project?

Abby identifies the caller, and your matching rules do the rest; your onboarding team configures how each client's calls attach to their project.

What exactly shows up in Insightly?

Caller, number, time, duration, a summary of the conversation, and the outcome, as call notes on the lead or contact, or as a linked record on the project.

Can I use Abby's AI receptionist with Insightly?

Yes. Live receptionists, the AI receptionist, or a mix (AI after hours is a common setup). The records in Insightly look the same either way.

We use a different CRM for sales and Insightly just for projects. Can you support both?

Yes. Abby integrates across our catalog, and if a tool of yours isn't there yet, we build the integration during onboarding at no charge.
