How long does it take to connect Keap to Thoughtly?

Most teams have a working Keap integration in under 15 minutes. The OAuth handshake takes seconds; the rest is mapping your fields and choosing which events should trigger a Thoughtly call. No engineering work required.

Is the Keap integration bidirectional?

Yes. Thoughtly reads from Keap (to know who to call and what context to use) and writes back to Keap after every call (transcript, summary, outcome, structured fields). Updates land in real time, while the call is still on or seconds after hangup.

Does Thoughtly cost extra to use with Keap?

No. The Keap integration is included on every Thoughtly plan, including the Starter tier. You pay for usage (per-minute on calls) — there's no per-seat or per-record fee for connecting your CRM.

Will Thoughtly create duplicates in Keap?

No. Thoughtly always tries to match on phone, email, and external ID before creating a new record. When a match exists, it updates instead of inserting. You can also force an "update only" mode if you'd rather Thoughtly never create new records.

Can I trigger calls from custom Keap fields or workflows?

Yes. Any Keap field, workflow step, or webhook can trigger a Thoughtly call. Common patterns: "form submitted on a specific landing page," "deal stage changed to X," "score crossed Y threshold." Filtering rules live in Thoughtly so non-engineers can edit them.

Is the integration secure and compliant?

Thoughtly is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA-ready. The Keap connection uses scoped OAuth tokens that you can revoke at any time from your Keap admin panel. Call recordings, transcripts, and any data passed to Keap are encrypted in transit and at rest.

CRM

Keap + Thoughtly

Run Thoughtly as your front-line voice for Keap campaigns and tag-based automations.

Book a demo Setup docs

Keap is built around tags, campaigns, and automation sequences — Thoughtly fits in like a missing piece. The integration listens to Keap tags and campaign goals, dials contacts when the right signal fires, captures the conversation, and tags or sequences them based on what was said. No human in the loop until the lead is qualified.

Small businesses running Keap use Thoughtly to scale outreach without hiring. A single owner-operator can have Thoughtly call every new lead, run requalification on the dormant list, follow up on missed appointments, and book demos — all on autopilot, all written back to Keap as activity.

The integration honors Keap's strengths: tag logic, campaign builder, e-commerce orders, and Pipeline. Whatever automations you've built in Keap, Thoughtly slots into them as a voice action. No re-engineering required.

Auto-tag contacts based on call outcome

Why connect Keap to Thoughtly

The integration is bidirectional, real-time, and runs on every Thoughtly plan. Here's what teams using Keap get out of the box.

Sub-60-second response on every lead
Thoughtly dials new Keap leads the second they hit the system. No queue, no rep ramp, no business hours.
Bidirectional, real-time sync
Thoughtly reads from Keap and writes back to Keap during the call. Reps see live updates on their pipeline view as the agent works.
100% coverage of the bottom 90%
Reps still take the high-fit demos. Thoughtly works the rest — the leads your team would otherwise never call.
No-code setup, marketer-owned
Connect Keap, map your fields, write your script in plain English. Engineering doesn't have to be in the loop.

Triggers and actions

Wire Keap into Thoughtly's autonomous flows. Triggers start a call from a Keap event; actions let Thoughtly do work inside Keap without leaving the call.

TriggersEvents that start a call

New lead created in KeapThe instant a lead lands in Keap — from a form, a paid ad, an import, anywhere — Thoughtly dials them. Average time-to-call is under 60 seconds.
Lead status or stage changesStage moves to "Attempting Contact"? Thoughtly takes the queue. No more "I'll get to it tomorrow" — the agent works it now.
Lead score crosses a thresholdA lead score crosses your threshold and Thoughtly handles the outreach so reps stay focused on warm pipeline.
Stale lead — no activity for N daysRe-engage the dormant cohort. Thoughtly auto-revives leads that have gone quiet, with messaging tuned to the time since last touch.
Workflow / sequence stepDrop Thoughtly into your existing Keap workflows as a "voice step." Triggered like any other step in a sequence.

ActionsWhat Thoughtly does in Keap

Update lead / contact recordPush every captured field — appointment time, budget, intent, qualifying answers — back to the Keap record while the call is still on.
Move stage / change statusOutcome from the call drives the stage transition. Booked = Meeting Scheduled. Not interested = Disqualified. No manual disposition.
Log call activity with full transcriptEvery call is logged as a Keap call activity with the recording, full transcript, and AI-generated summary attached.
Create or update opportunity / dealWhen intent is qualified, Thoughtly opens a deal and pre-fills it from the conversation — close size, pain points, decision criteria.
Add to list / sequence / campaignPut leads into the right downstream sequence based on what was said. Different paths for "callback later," "hot now," "send the form again."
Notify the right repOwner assignment, @mentions, task creation — Thoughtly drives the rep handoff so the right human picks up where the agent left off.
