This article explains how information flows between Sierra and Sisu, including which actions trigger updates, how integration tags affect transactions, and what activities can be tracked through the integration.

How Sierra Tags Affect Sisu

The Sierra integration uses tags to automate actions in Sisu. Depending on the tag applied, tags can:

  • Create transactions

  • Update transaction statuses

  • Award conversation credit

  • Create transactions with the Appt Set By (ISA) field automatically populated

The tables below list all available integration tags and their corresponding actions in Sisu. Some tags may not be available if they have not been configured by an admin.

ℹ️ Note:

  • Tags are shown with parentheses ( ), but your team may use brackets [ ] instead.

  • Credit in Sisu is given to the agent assigned to the lead, not the user who applies the tag.

Syncing Non-Integration Tags

If enabled, non-integration tags can sync between Sierra and Sisu.

A non-integration tag is any tag that is not part of the Sierra integration tag list. These tags are unique to your team's processes and workflows.

Tag Added In

Result

Sierra

The tag is added to the corresponding Sisu transaction.

Sisu

The tag is added to the corresponding Sierra Lead Profile.

⚠️ Important: Tags only sync in the directions that have been enabled by an admin.

  • Sync Sierra Tags to Sisu must be enabled for tags to sync from Sierra to Sisu.

    • If a lead in Sierra Interactive is associated to 2 transactions in Sisu (a buyer and a seller), we won't know which transaction the tag should apply to. In this case, we can't sync the tags.

  • Sync Sisu Tags to Sierra must be enabled for tags to sync from Sisu to Sierra.

    • For this setting to work, the non-integration tag lists in Sierra and Sisu must match exactly. Tag names, spelling, and spacing must be identical in both systems.

Once enabled, non-integration tags sync automatically when they are added or updated in either system.
