An AI chatbot CRM integration connects your website chatbot to your CRM, so each chat updates the customer record. A CRM chatbot creates or updates contacts when a visitor shares an email, logs the conversation transcript on the contact, and shows CRM context to your agents. BubblaV connects to HubSpot and Attio as CRMs, to Zendesk and Zoho Desk for support tickets, and to other CRMs through Zapier.
What Is a CRM Chatbot?
A CRM chatbot is a chatbot that reads from or writes to your customer relationship management system. A standalone chatbot answers a question and the chat ends there. A chatbot for CRM keeps a record of who the visitor is and what they asked, in the tool your sales and support teams already use.
In BubblaV, a connected CRM can do four things:
Contacts
A contact is created or updated when a visitor gives an email address in chat.
Transcripts
The conversation is saved as a note on the contact record.
Leads
Leads from chat and website forms reach the CRM with their source data.
Tickets
With HubSpot, Zendesk, or Zoho Desk, tickets sync with the BubblaV Live Support inbox.
AI Chatbot CRM Integrations: What Syncs With Each CRM
This list shows what each BubblaV integration does today. BubblaV has no native Salesforce or Zoho CRM integration. Use Zapier for those (see below).
HubSpot (CRM and tickets)
- Creates a HubSpot contact when the visitor gives an email (on by default). The default lifecycle stage is
lead, and you can change it. - Sets a second lifecycle stage when a live-support escalation is created (default
opportunity). - Saves the latest conversation snippet as a note on the contact, and on the ticket when one exists.
- Enrolls a contact in a HubSpot workflow when a conversation tag or detected intent matches a rule you set.
- Syncs HubSpot tickets and conversation threads into the Live Support inbox in about 2 minutes. Agent replies go back into the HubSpot thread.
- Shows contact properties, activity timeline, page views, and deal status to agents.
- Lets visitors book meetings with your HubSpot Meetings links.
Attio (CRM contacts)
- Creates or updates a Person record when the visitor gives an email. If the email exists, BubblaV updates that Person.
- Syncs leads from newsletter and contact forms with UTM parameters and source data.
- Saves the full transcript as a Note on the Person when the conversation is resolved.
- Maps visitor and form fields to your own Attio attributes.
- Syncs changes to name, job title, company, phone, and description in Attio back to the BubblaV visitor profile.
- Does not sync tickets. Attio has no ticketing API.
Zendesk and Zoho Desk (support tickets)
These are help desks, not sales CRMs. When the AI cannot help, it creates a ticket with the conversation context. Tickets and replies sync both ways with the Live Support inbox, and ticket status changes sync too. Zendesk also shows ticket history to agents in the visitor panel. Zoho Desk checks for changed tickets every couple of minutes. Zendesk | Zoho Desk
Any other CRM, through Zapier
The BubblaV Zapier app has a Lead Captured trigger that fires when a visitor submits contact information, plus triggers for new conversations, new visitors, and handoff requests. Triggers fire through webhooks. Pair them with the Zapier action for your CRM, for example Salesforce. The BubblaV Zapier integration needs the Pro plan. Zapier integration
How to Connect an AI Chatbot to Your CRM
These steps use HubSpot. Attio, Zendesk, and Zoho Desk follow the same pattern from the Integrations page.
Pick a plan that includes the integration
HubSpot, Attio, Zendesk, and Zoho Desk are Pro-plan integrations. See pricing.
Open the integration
Go to Dashboard, then Integrations, then HubSpot. Browse all options on the integrations page.
Connect with OAuth
Click Connect HubSpot, choose the HubSpot account, and grant the permissions. You return to BubblaV with your Portal ID and connection status.
Set contact sync defaults
Keep Sync Lead on, and choose the lifecycle stage for new contacts, the stage after escalation, and an optional default owner.
Add workflow triggers (optional)
Add rules that match a conversation tag or intent to a HubSpot workflow ID, then save the HubSpot settings.
Test with a real chat
Chat on your site, give an email address, and check that the contact and the transcript note appear in HubSpot.
CRM Chatbot Lead Capture and Qualification
Lead capture starts when a visitor gives an email in chat, or submits a newsletter or contact form on your site. BubblaV then creates the contact in your CRM. With Attio, the record includes UTM parameters, company, job title, phone, and website when provided.
Qualification in the CRM is rule-based, not automatic scoring. In HubSpot, you tag conversations or use detected intents (for example sales-qualified) to enroll the contact in a HubSpot workflow, and escalations move the contact to the lifecycle stage you choose. Your HubSpot workflow then does the follow-up, such as owner assignment. For more on forms, read AI chatbot lead generation forms.
