Booth and conference leads that make it into Google Contacts

Badge scans arrive days later in a spreadsheet, and business cards get typed up by whoever has time. With Textiful, visitors give you their details by text and they’re in your CRM before they reach the next booth.

  • On your phone before you leave

    New contacts sync to your phone and Gmail, so you can follow up from the car on the way home.

  • A keyword or a QR code

    Say “text DEMO to 33777” from the front of the room, or put a QR code where people can scan it. Either one starts your capture flow.

  • Qualifying questions by text

    A capture flow asks for company, role, or timeline one text at a time, and each answer becomes a field your reps can sort by.
