A blank CRM doesn't answer leads

A flexible CRM starts empty. Until the stages, fields and automations are built, new inquiries still wait for you to reply.

How it works

A customer messages you
From your website chat or WhatsApp, at any hour. CustomerFlows notes which ad or page they came from.
The AI replies in seconds
The first reply arrives in seconds. It answers questions from what you've told it about your business.
It asks your questions
The job, the place, how soon: whatever you need to know before you call back.
The lead is ready for you
The conversation and the answers wait in your inbox, and the lead sits in your pipeline, tied to its source.

Where Salesforce is the better fit

When you run several divisions, need deep links to accounting or ERP systems, or already use Salesforce elsewhere, its customization and ecosystem are hard to match. Plan for an admin or partner to run it.

Where CustomerFlows is the better fit

No setup project. Your pipeline and qualifying questions come from your industry template, so the team works leads on day one.

Why speed decides who gets the work

In a study of more than 2,000 companies, businesses that tried to contact a new lead within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify it as those that waited longer.

Questions

When is Salesforce the better choice?

When you need deep customization, many divisions or links to large accounting and ERP systems, and have someone to run it. CustomerFlows is for answering and tracking leads without that setup.

How fast does the AI reply?

The AI's first reply to a new inquiry arrives in seconds, at any hour, on your website chat and on WhatsApp.

Can I bring my contacts from Salesforce?

Yes. Export your contacts from Salesforce as a CSV file and import them into CustomerFlows. Every plan includes unlimited contacts.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new workspace gets 14 days free on the Growth plan, with every feature. No credit card is needed to start. Before the trial ends, you add a card and choose your plan; nothing is charged unless you do. If you choose Starter, everything you set up is kept and your automations pause until you move to Growth or Scale.
