Use Case - Building a Properties Management Customer Service with Nimbus, Teams, and HubSpot

Build a properties management customer service with Nimbus, Teams, and Hubspot for various use cases.

Consider, we are a property management company. We have the following use cases:

When a NEW customer calls,

  • ... the new contact needs to be created in Hubspot
  • ... any agent can respond to the call
  • ... the agent needs to complete the contact form of the customer 

When a KNOWN customer calls,

  • ... and the customer has a property viewing booked, they wants to speak to the person they will meet at the property.
  • ... and the customer has no active tasks in the CRM, any agency agent can respond.
  • ... the CRM contact page of the customer needs to pop-up when the call gets distributed to the agent.

PRECONDITIONS

💡 For visualization we use Hubspot as example CRM. You can of course substitute this lookup with any other CRM of your own preference. 

 

 Show Icon Legend

💡 = A hint to signal learnings, improvements or useful information in context. 🔍 = Info points out essential notes or related page in context.
☝ = Notifies you about fallacies and tricky parts that help avoid problems. 🤔 = Asks and answers common questions and troubleshooting points.
❌ = Warns you of actions with irreversible / data-destructive consequence. ✅ = Intructs you to perform a certain (prerequired) action to complete a related step.
 
 

Build the caller identification power automate flow

Build the flow as described in Use Case - Looking up caller information in HubSpot

Extend the Nimbus configuration

First, we need to create two new Parameters in Nimbus:

  • Parameter 1: Name= PreferredAgent; Value=Empty
  • Parameter 2: Name= hasbookings; Value=false

Then we change the existing workflow to the following:

 Workflow Overview

 
 
Description
 Screenshot

The "Check Parameter" activity verifies if the customer has an active property viewing booked in the CRM using the hasBookings parameter that will be set by the power Automate flow.

 

 

The "Transfer" activity will transfer to the preferred agent if the customer has an active property viewing booked in the CRM:
