Once you have established a connection between BotPenguin and Close CRM, and the mapping is complete, you are ready to go for your first test lead. You can test your integration setup by creating a dummy lead on the bot. This lead should appear in your BotPenguin dashboard as well as in the Close CRM that you have integrated.
If you are not getting dummy lead from your Bot to Close CRM, it may be due to the multiple reasons:
Wrong Authorization Details added- You will be required to check and see if all the authorization credentials such as API Token, API key, and/or URL has been entered correctly.
Wrong Mapping Set up - Your mapping with BotPenguin Question and CRM parameter is either incorrect or you haven’t added any mandatory parameter.
Free plan- You are not subscribed to the paid plan on BotPenguin as integration works only in paid plan.
