Update Capsule CRM opportunities when new CMap projects are updated
Once a job is live in CMap the details keep moving as the fee is revised or dates shift, and unless someone repeats each change in Capsule CRM the pipeline shows figures the delivery team stopped using weeks ago. This integration triggers automatically whenever a project is updated in CMap, retrieves the full project record, finds the linked opportunity in Capsule CRM using the Capsule opportunity ID stored against the project, and writes the latest name, value, close date and stage back to it. Your CRM reflects what is actually happening on the work without anyone maintaining the same detail in two systems, so sales and delivery forecast from the same numbers.
Note: This template matches on the Capsule opportunity ID held in a custom field on the CMap project. The "Create CMap projects for new Capsule CRM opportunities" template writes that ID when it runs, so set that Zap up and let it run first. If the field is empty there is nothing to look up and this Zap will stop. Matching on the stored ID rather than the opportunity name means the update still lands on the right record when a job is renamed. CMap custom fields only appear in the Zap editor once you have connected a live CMap account, so connect CMap first and then refresh the step if the field holding the Capsule opportunity ID is not listed. Projects that existed before this pairing was set up will not have a Capsule opportunity ID stored. Backfill the field for those records, or match them manually, so they are picked up by this Zap. 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 update made by one Zap does not trigger the other and cause the pair to loop. This template works for both the Consulting and AEC editions of CMap, as both use projects. Pair it with whichever create template matches your edition, "Create CMap projects for new Capsule CRM opportunities" being the source of the stored Capsule opportunity ID either way.
