SMB CRM Integration

Turn Every Call Into An Act! Contact And Activity

Marlie AI answers your calls, qualifies leads, and creates Contacts, Histories, and Activities in Act! — so your follow-up cadence runs without manual data entry.

A modern phone front-door for the original SMB CRM

Act! has been the workhorse CRM for small businesses for decades. The data lives in Act! — Contacts, Histories, Activities, and Opportunities — but most phone leads never get logged because the calls happen in the field, after hours, or while the team is heads-down on work.

Marlie AI changes that. Inbound calls are answered, qualified, and pushed into Act! as Contacts with the right Group, Activity, and History. Your existing Act! follow-up process kicks off the moment the call ends — no manual entry, no missed leads.

What You Get with Marlie + Act!

Everything you need to connect your phone calls with Act! — fully automated, zero manual work.

Auto-Create Contacts

Every inbound caller is added to Act! as a Contact with name, phone, email, and the qualifying details Marlie collected.

History Logging

Every call appears as an Act! History entry on the Contact with summary, transcript, and a link to the recording.

Activity Scheduling

Marlie schedules follow-up Activities on the Contact so your reps know exactly when and why to call back.

Group & Tag Routing

Apply Act! Groups and tags based on call intent so the right segments and reports stay accurate.

Smart Deduplication

Returning callers update existing Act! Contacts instead of creating duplicates, preserving History and Opportunities.

Real-Time Sync

Contacts, Histories, and Activities appear in Act! within seconds of the call ending — your CRM is always current.

Built for Real Scenarios

See how businesses use Marlie + Act! to capture more leads and streamline operations.

Insurance Agencies On Act!

Scenario

An insurance agency uses Act! to manage policy holders and prospects but misses calls during quoting work.

Outcome

Marlie qualifies each call, creates or updates the Act! Contact, schedules a follow-up Activity, and writes the History — agents see clean records ready for quote follow-up.

Local Service Businesses

Scenario

A small services business runs Act! and wants every inbound lead routed into a follow-up Activity.

Outcome

Marlie qualifies the lead, creates the Contact in the right Group, and schedules the next-step Activity automatically.

Consultants & Advisors

Scenario

A consultant uses Act! to track prospects but takes most discovery calls between client meetings.

Outcome

Marlie handles the discovery call, captures fit, creates a Contact with notes, and schedules a callback Activity at the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Marlie AI + Act! integration.

Which Act! editions are supported?

Marlie works with Act! Premium Cloud and supported on-premise deployments that have the Act! Web API enabled. Your Act! admin can authorize Marlie from the Marlie dashboard.

Can Marlie schedule Activities in Act! automatically?

Yes. Marlie can schedule follow-up Activities on the Contact based on call intent — for example, a callback in two days for a quote request.

Will Marlie create duplicate Contacts in Act!?

No. Marlie matches callers to existing Act! Contacts by phone and email and updates the existing record instead of creating duplicates.

Can Marlie populate Act! custom fields?

Yes. Map any call data point — service type, urgency, source — into any Act! custom field from the Marlie dashboard.

Does this work with on-premise Act! deployments?

Marlie can connect to on-premise Act! deployments that expose the Act! Web API. If your Act! is fully offline, we can still sync via CSV exports as a fallback.

Are call recordings stored in Act!?

Transcripts and summaries are written to the Act! History on the Contact. Full recordings stay in Marlie and are linked from the History.
