CRM Opportunity Syncing

Learn about how ScopeStack syncs opportunities from our supported CRMs

ScopeStack supports syncing opportunities from common CRM tools to provide an easy way to get high-level customer information into the platform.

Once you have enabled CRM Opportunity Syncing on your account, you can find your opportunities under the drop-down menu on either a new project or the Project Overview page of an existing project.

Revenue Information Syncing from ScopeStack back to your CRM

We support syncing back the projected revenue to the opportunity in your CRM. To complete this update, press the Update CRM button next to the project name on an approved project.

We also automatically update the revenue when a project is submitted for approval in ScopeStack. In most CRMs, you have the option to skip this automated update if you would like. You can check this option in the Connected App settings area for your CRM.

Syncing Frequency

Due to API rate limits on most common CRMs, we sync opportunities every hour at half past the hour:

  • At the half-hour (10:30 am, 11:30 am, etc.), we sync open/closed opportunities.

Opportunity State

  • Open Opportunities: Each platform has a different way to indicate that an opportunity is “open.” This could be a boolean flag (true/false) or a status. We query the CRM for opportunities that match the criteria and then iterate over the results. If we have not previously seen an opportunity returned from the CRM, we create a local record for it. If we have previously seen it, then we update any details that changed.

  • Closed Opportunities (literally, "Not Open" Opportunities): We query the CRM and ask for “opportunities that are not in the open state.” Any opportunity that is returned from the CRM has a “closed” flag set in ScopeStack. When that’s set, it will no longer appear in the “CRM Opportunity” drop-down.

We also support the customer specifying statuses of their choice that indicate “open.” Based on how an account defines “open," this can change the closed status definition. For example, it may mean “the closed flag is set” or “opportunity status is not one of the open statuses.”
