Sierra Processes That Create New Sisu Transactions

Logging Call Outcomes

When you log a call outcome in a Sierra Lead Profile, this creates a new transaction in Sisu.

⚠️ *IMPORTANT*: Logging a call outcome only creates a new transaction in Sisu if an admin enables the configuration setting Create Transactions from Call Outcomes.

--Action in Sierra--

  1. In Sierra, go to Leads > Leads Dashboard.

  2. In the Leads Dashboard, click the name of a lead to open the Lead Profile.

  3. Click the Log Call tab.

  4. Click on one of the following call outcomes:

    • Talked to Lead and Scheduled a Buyer Appt

    • Talked to Lead and Scheduled a Listing Appt

  5. Click the Log Call button. (You might need to scroll down a little to see it.)

--Results in Sisu--

  • A new transaction appears under Transactions > Transactions with a status of Appointment Set.

  • +1 to the Buyer Appointments Set (or Listing Appointments Set) pacer circle on the Dashboard

  • +1 to the Sierra Call Activity

  • The 1st Time Appt Set field (added to a form in Sisu) shows the date you clicked the Log Call button.

Adding a Pipeline Tag

By adding the integration tag (B) Pipeline or (S) Pipeline to a Lead Profile in Sierra, you can create a new transaction in Sisu.

ℹ️ Note: Tags can have either parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ].

--Action in Sierra--

  1. In Sierra, go to Leads > Leads Dashboard.

  2. In the Leads Dashboard, click the name of a lead to open the Lead Profile.

  3. On the right side of the Lead Profile, click the + icon in the Tags section.

  4. Click the checkbox for the Pipeline tag you'd like to add.

  5. Click Apply.

--Results in Sisu--

  • A new transaction appears under Transactions > Transactions with a status of Pipeline.

Sierra Integration Tags and Their Effect on Sisu Transactions

The Sierra Interactive integration with Sisu is driven by Sierra tags. By assigning these tags to a lead in Sierra, you can cause certain actions to take place in Sisu. You can...

  • Create transactions

  • Make those transactions advance from one status to the next

  • Give conversation credit to the agent

  • Create transactions that already have the "Appt Set By (ISA)" field filled out and assigned to the agent

This is a full list of all possible integration tags. Some might not appear for you if they weren't set up by an admin.

ℹ️ Note: Tags below are listed with parentheses ( ), but depending on your team's setup, you might see either parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ].

ℹ️ Note: The individual who gets the credit in Sisu is the one who is assigned as the agent, not the one who assigns the tags.

Sierra Processes That Are Tracked As Sisu Activities

Syncing Non-Integration Tags

If this feature is enabled, non-integration tags can sync from Sierra to Sisu and from Sisu to Sierra. So what is a non-integration tag? A non-integration tag is any tag that isn't in our list of integration tags. In other words, non-integration tags are unique to your team and your processes.

In this section, we're going to look at what has to happen for non-integration tags to sync. Below, choose the direction you'd like your tags to sync:

Sierra to Sisu

As soon as you apply a non-integration tag to a Lead Profile in Sierra, the tag is added to the corresponding Sisu transaction.

⚠️ *IMPORTANT*: Non-integration tags will only sync from Sierra to Sisu if an admin enables the configuration setting Sync Sierra Tags to Sisu.

--Action in Sierra--

  1. In Sierra, go to Leads > Leads Dashboard.

  2. In the Leads Dashboard, click the name of a lead to open the Lead Profile.

  3. On the right side of the Lead Profile, click the + icon in the Tags section.

  4. Click the checkbox for a non-integration tag you'd like to add.

  5. Click Apply.

--Results in Sisu--

  • The tag is immediately added to the transaction in Sisu.

Sisu to Sierra

When you apply a non-integration tag to a Sisu transaction, the tag is added to the Lead Profile in Sierra.

⚠️ *IMPORTANT*: Non-integration tags will only sync from Sisu to Sierra if an admin enables the configuration setting Sync Sisu Tags to Sierra.

--Action in Sisu--

  1. In Sisu, go to Transactions > Transactions.

  2. Click in-line with a transaction to open it.

  3. In the menu on the left, select a form that has the Tags field.

  4. Click the Tags field and select a tag from the list.

  5. Scroll to the bottom of the form and click the Update button.

  6. Update any field in the form and click the Update button.

--Results in Sisu--

  • The tag is immediately added to the Lead Profile in Sierra.

Using the Sisu "Contact URL" Field to Open Sierra Lead Profiles

As soon as the Sierra Interactive integration is enabled, a new field called Sierra Contact URL will become available and admins will be able to add it to any form. Agents can open a Sisu transaction that originated from Sierra and then use this field to open the corresponding Sierra Lead Profile in another tab.

After this field is added to a form in Sisu, you can use it by doing the following:

  1. Open a transaction in Sisu that originated from Sierra.

  2. In the menu on the left, select a form that contains the Sierra Contact URL field.

  3. Scroll down to the field. You'll see a URL in the field. Click the button to the right of the field, and the contact's Sierra Lead Profile will open in another tab.
