Turn text messages into CRM actions

You're walking out of a client meeting when they mention their new email address. You're grabbing coffee and remember you need to follow up with that prospect from last week. You're stuck in traffic when a contact texts you their updated phone number.

These moments happen constantly throughout your day, but acting on them requires getting back to your computer, logging into systems, and remembering what needed to be updated. By the time you have a free moment, half the details are already fuzzy.

The gap between knowing and doing

Important business information flows through casual conversations, quick phone calls, and informal interactions. But turning that information into proper business actions requires dedicated time and multiple system logins.

You make mental notes to update contact records later, create follow-up tasks when you're back at your desk, and send that promised email when you have a chance to draft it properly. The gap between learning something and acting on it creates opportunities for details to slip through.

Text messaging bridges this gap by turning informal updates into structured business actions without requiring you to change contexts or open multiple applications.

What this looks like in practice

Quick contact update while commuting:

"Just got off the phone with Sarah Chen. She got promoted to VP of Operations and moved to the Austin office. New email is sarah.chen@company.com"

Result:Sarah's contact record updates with her new title, location, and email address. A congratulatory follow-up email appears for your review.

Task creation between meetings:

"Need to send proposal to Jennifer at TechStart by Thursday. She wants pricing for both the basic and premium packages"

Result: Task appears with Thursday deadline, and a calendar reminder sets for Wednesday to prepare the proposal materials.

Meeting scheduling on the go:

"Set up call with David Kim next Tuesday afternoon to review the Q2 projections. Include Lisa from our finance team"

Result: Meeting schedules for Tuesday afternoon with both David and Lisa invited, agenda includes Q2 projection review.

Opportunity tracking from anywhere:

"Coffee with Marcus went great. He mentioned they're expanding to Seattle next year and might need our consulting services. Follow up in Q1"

Result:New opportunity appears for Seattle expansion consulting, follow-up task schedules for January.

Why texting works better than other methods

It's already in your workflow.

You're already texting throughout the day for personal and business communication. Adding Quin to this flow requires no new habits or apps to remember.

Speed beats perfection.

Text messages can be informal and abbreviated. You don't need to format instructions or worry about grammar - just capture the essential information while it's fresh.

No context switching required.

You don't need to stop what you're doing, open your laptop, or navigate through multiple applications. Send the text and move on with your day.

Works everywhere.

Whether you have strong internet, weak WiFi, or you're in areas with limited connectivity, text messages process when connectivity improves.

Beyond basic text processing

Quin understands context and relationships in your text messages. When you mention "Jennifer at TechStart," it knows which Jennifer you mean and connects the information to the right contact record. When you say "follow up next week," it calculates appropriate timing based on your calendar.

Voice messages work through texting too. If typing isn't convenient, send a voice memo via text and it processes just like written messages.

The feature also learns your texting patterns and preferences. If you typically want certain types of tasks assigned to specific team members, or prefer particular follow-up timing, these preferences apply to future text-based instructions.

Starting with text-based workflow

Add Quin's number to your contacts and start sending updates as they occur to you. Include relevant details like names, companies, deadlines, and any specific instructions about what needs to happen.

The more context you provide in your texts, the more accurately Quin can route information and create appropriate actions. But even brief messages like "Update John's phone to 555-0123" process correctly.

Text messaging works best as a complement to your other communication methods with Quin - use it for quick updates and urgent items, while saving longer instructions for email or the in-app chat.
