Inbound Calls, Straight Into Close

Marlie AI answers every inbound call, qualifies the prospect, and creates a fully populated Lead in Close — with the call summary, transcript, and follow-up task ready for your reps.

Built for inside-sales teams that live in Close

Built for inside-sales teams that live in Close

Inside-sales teams that use Close are obsessed with speed-to-lead and activity volume. Calls that miss Close don't get followed up, don't generate metrics, and don't drive revenue.

Marlie AI fills the gap. Every inbound call is answered and qualified, then pushed into Close as a Lead and Activity in real time. The full transcript, summary, and recording link are attached, and a follow-up Task is created so your reps can pick up where Marlie left off.

What You Get with Marlie + Close

Auto-Create Leads

Each inbound call creates a Close Lead with company, contact, phone, email, and qualification data captured by Marlie.

Call Activity Logging

Every call appears in Close as a Call Activity with transcript and outcome — perfect for activity reporting.

Custom Field Mapping

Map qualifying questions and call data to any Close custom field — fits whatever sales process you've built.

Smart Deduplication

Returning callers update existing Close Leads instead of creating duplicates, keeping your data clean.

Built for Real Scenarios

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

B2B Inside Sales

Scenario

A SaaS team has 5 SDRs that take inbound demo requests by phone — and lose half of them to voicemail.

Outcome

Marlie answers every demo request, qualifies budget and use case, and creates a Lead in Close with a booked discovery call.

Outbound Callback Coverage

Scenario

Prospects from outbound campaigns call back at random times. Reps miss them.

Outcome

Marlie answers the callback, identifies the matching outbound Lead in Close, and logs the conversation directly to that record.

Trial-to-Paid Conversion

Scenario

Trial users call with pre-purchase questions, but those conversations never make it into Close.

Outcome

Marlie matches the caller to their Close Lead, captures their objection, and assigns a Task to the AE — accelerating conversion.

How does Marlie connect to Close?

Marlie connects via the Close API. You paste your API key into the Marlie dashboard and pick your default Lead status — that's it.

Transcripts and summaries are written to the Close Activity. Full recordings stay in Marlie and are linked from the activity.

Can Marlie create Opportunities in Close?
