Create Capsule CRM opportunities for new CMap projects (AEC Edition)
New jobs are often set up in CMap by the person putting the fee proposal together, and unless someone remembers to raise the matching opportunity in Capsule CRM the sales pipeline understates what the practice is actually bidding for. This integration runs whenever a new project is created in CMap, pulls back the full project record along with its linked contact and company, and creates a matching opportunity in Capsule CRM against the right client contact, carrying across the project title and owner. Your pipeline reflects every live job as soon as it is set up, so the team can forecast accurately without anyone entering the same opportunity twice.
*Notes: Step 5 needs a Pipeline value, which Capsule does not receive from CMap. Either set it to a fixed pipeline if all new work follows the same process, or map it from a CMap field if you track it there.
The Contact field on step 5 is mapped from the first and last name returned by step 3. That person must already exist in Capsule as a contact, so run the contact and organisation templates first or use "Add search step" to find or create them.
Steps 2, 3 and 4 look the project, contact and company up by ID so the opportunity is attached to the right client. If a project in CMap has no contact or company against it, those steps will not return a record and the Zap will stop.
Optional Capsule fields such as Description, Expected Close Date, Currency, Track and Tags can be mapped from the CMap project if you hold that detail, and left blank if not.
This template sends data from CMap to Capsule, the opposite direction to the Capsule opportunity templates. If you run both directions at once, scope them so an opportunity created by one Zap does not trigger the other and create a duplicate.*
