Tips for Best Results
- 1.Replace all [BRACKETS] with your actual numbers and platform names before submitting. Vague inputs produce generic outputs—be specific about your CRM, current metrics, and challenges.
- 2.If you don't know your current conversion rate or engagement numbers, run a quick audit first. The AI will tailor recommendations based on your baseline performance.
- 3.Ask follow-up questions about specific integrations or workflows. For example: 'How would you modify this pipeline if we use Marketo instead of HubSpot?' to get tool-specific guidance.
- 4.Use the output as a strategic blueprint, not a final implementation plan. Share it with your marketing ops and sales teams to validate assumptions and identify technical constraints before building.
Example Output
## Social Media to CRM Pipeline Architecture
### 1. Lead Capture Strategy
**LinkedIn**: Implement lead magnets in sponsored content and organic posts. Use LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to capture contact info directly without requiring users to leave the platform. Target job titles and industries matching your ICP.
**Instagram**: Deploy link-in-bio landing pages with UTM parameters. Use Instagram Stories with swipe-up links (if available) or QR codes directing to lead capture forms. Engage with comments on high-performing posts to identify warm prospects.
**TikTok**: Create educational content with CTAs directing to landing pages. Use TikTok's Shop feature or link-in-bio tools. Engage with trending sounds relevant to your industry.
### 2. Data Integration Points
Use Zapier or Make.com to create automated workflows:
- LinkedIn form submissions → HubSpot contacts (within 5 minutes)
- Instagram DM inquiries → Salesforce leads with "Social - Instagram" source tag
- Form completions → Auto-populate lead source, campaign, and UTM data
- Implement webhook connections for real-time data sync
