We've split the setup process into parts to make it easier to do. Complete each section in this article one at a time in order to set up the Follow Up Boss integration.
Before you begin...
Make sure your users in Follow Up Boss have matching user names and emails in Sisu. The actions of users that don't have matching information aren't recognized by the integration.
Part 1: Get the FUB API Key
1. Log into Follow Up Boss as the account owner.
❗️Please Note:
You must use the OWNER account, not just an admin. This is critical, an admin account will not work for the integration!
2. Click Admin in the top toolbar.
3. Scroll down to the Integrations section, and click on API Keys & Lead Email.
4. Click the Create API Key button.
5. In the Name field, enter Sisu FUB Integration. Then click Create API Key.
6. Copy the API key and paste it somewhere you can easily find it. You'll need this key later on in the setup process.
Part 2: Choose Your Settings and Finalize Setup
1. In Sisu, navigate to Admin > Integration Hub.
2. Click the Follow Up Boss tile. This opens the integration setup window.
3. Click Next (bottom-right corner). This takes you to Configuration setup.
4. In the API Key field, paste the API key from part 1.
Activity Settings
5. Scroll down to the first setting: Sync Follow Up Boss Activities to Sisu. Click the toggle to enable or disable the setting. (green = enabled)
About This Setting
About This Setting
This setting is enabled by default. It allows FUB actions (like calls, emails, and texts) to be tracked in Sisu as Activities. If you don't want Activities tracked in Sisu, disable this setting.
6. For the next setting, Count conversations based off of call length, click the toggle to enable or disable the setting. (green = enabled) Then click the Conversation Call Length field and enter a number in seconds to specify a call length.
About These Settings
About These Settings
Count conversations based off of call length: Enable this setting if you want Follow Up Boss dialer calls to count as Sisu Conversations. When this setting is enabled, calls are counted as Conversations only if the call is longer than the length specified in the setting below.
Conversation Call Length: This setting lets you specify the call length in seconds. This setting only works if the "Count conversations..." setting is enabled.
8. If desired, enable the setting Count All Call Logs as Sisu Conversations. (green = enabled)
About This Setting
About This Setting
Enable this setting if you want the manually logged calls in FUB to count as Sisu Conversations.
❗️Please Note: Calls marked as "Bad Number," "Voicemail," or "Left Message" will not count as a Conversation.
Transaction Settings
9. If desired, enable the setting Sync Transactions from Follow Up Boss to Sisu. (green = enabled)
Then use the Buyer/Seller Transaction Stages to Track settings to specify when in the life of a transaction the integration should pass information between Follow Up Boss and Sisu.
About These Settings
About These Settings
Sync Transactions from Follow Up Boss to Sisu: If enabled, the integration will create a Sisu transaction when a Follow Up Boss deal is created or updated.
Buyer/Seller Transaction Stages to Track: Click the "Value" drop-down to select a stage. Information will be passed between FUB and Sisu for any stages selected here. If you want to track additional stages, click the "Add Value" button.
❗️The Pending and Closed stages are not included here because they are required.
10. If desired, enable the setting Create Sisu Transactions from FUB Appointments. (green = enabled)
About This Setting
About This Setting
When this setting is enabled, if you set an appointment for a FUB contact, the integration creates a transaction in Sisu with a status of Appointment Set. A corresponding FUB Deal is also created.
It's also important to note that for seller transactions, Sisu pulls the FUB contact's address into the new transaction regardless of whether or not it's entered into the deal.
11. If desired, enable the setting Ignore Updates from follow up boss after Sisu transaction status. (green = enabled) Then click the Ignore Updates After Sisu Status field and select a status.
About These Settings
About These Settings
Ignore Updates from follow up boss after Sisu transaction status: If you enable this setting, the following occurs. When a Sisu transaction reaches the status specified in the setting "Ignore Updates After Sisu Status," the transaction will no longer be updated when changes are made to the corresponding FUB deal card.
Once the Sisu transaction reaches the specified status, the FUB deal card will be updated with any changes made to the corresponding Sisu transaction.
This is especially helpful if Sisu is where your entire workflow for signed clients or pending clients is. This setting allows you to make sure that the agent isn't making changes to the deal card that you're unaware of.
Ignore Updates After Sisu Status: This setting allows you to specify the status that determines when FUB updates are ignored. This setting only works if the "Ignore Updates from follow up boss..." setting is enabled.
12. If desired, enable the setting Sync Commission Info from the Follow Up Boss Deal Card to the Sisu Transaction. (green = enabled)
About This Setting
About This Setting
When this setting is enabled, the following commission information is sent from the FUB deal card to the corresponding Sisu transaction:
Information in the FUB "Commission" field is sent to the Sisu "GCI" field
FUB "agent split" information is sent to Sisu's "Gross Agent(s) Paid Income" field
Lead Source Settings
13. If desired, enable the setting Add new leads to Lead Source Count report. (green = enabled)
About This Setting
About This Setting
If you want to track FUB lead source activity in Sisu, enable this setting. As you add deals with lead sources in FUB, this increments the lead source counts and At Bats in Sisu.
For example...let's assume a lead comes into the integration that was created in FUB on June 23, 2023. If this setting is enabled, we add a lead count to the Counts and Expenses page (found by going to Admin > Lead Sources) of the corresponding lead source for June 2023.
14. If desired, enable the setting Count Pond Activity towards at-bats. (green = enabled)
About This Setting
About This Setting
When this setting is enabled, if you are the lead agent in a FUB pond and a lead get assigned to the pond, your "at bat" count in Sisu goes up by 1.
15. Click the Next button. This takes you to Activity Stages setup.
Activity Stages Setup
16. For those who want to track Activities in Sisu, you can further specify if you only want Activities tracked during certain stages of the deal. Complete the following steps to define the stages that will allow Activity tracking.
a. Click the Add Value button. This makes a drop-down field appear.
b. Click the drop-down and either choose a single stage, select "All," or select "None."
c. Repeat these steps if you want multiple stages (but not all stages) to allow Activity tracking.
About Activity Stages Setup
About Activity Stages Setup
If the setting Sync Follow Up Boss Activities to Sisu is enabled, certain actions in FUB (like calls, emails, and texts) will be tracked in Sisu as Activities. But what if you only want Activities tracked when deals are in certain stages? This part of the integration setup allows you to specify which stages allow for Activities to be tracked in Sisu.
Track during all stages: If you want FUB actions tracked as Sisu Activities during all stages of a deal, select "All" from the drop-down.
Don't track at all: If you don't want Activities tracked in Sisu, select "None" from the drop-down.
Track certain stages: If you’d like to track Activities for only certain stages of the deal, you can choose a select number of stages. Use the "Add Value" button to add more stages.
❗️Important Note: If you don't choose "all," be aware that your Sisu Dashboard's Activity numbers and Follow Up Boss call/text/email accountability reports will NOT match since the integration will be only tracking Activities in Sisu during the stages you selected in this setting.
17. Click the Next button. This takes you to Transaction Form setup.
Transaction Form Setup
18. If you want the deal card in FUB to link to a Sisu form, do the following:
a. Click the Add Value button. This makes a drop-down field appear.
b. Click the drop-down and choose one of your Sisu forms from the list.
c. Repeat these steps if you want to link to multiple forms.
d. Click the trash can icon to delete a row.
❗️Please Note:
This feature adds a link to the specified form right on the deal card. This is meant to give agents quick access to their most important forms. We recommend keeping the number of linked forms to a minimum.
It's also important to note that links to buyer-side forms will only appear on buyer deal cards and seller-side forms will only appear on seller deal cards.
19. Click the Next button when finished to move on to Transaction Field setup.
Transaction Field Setup
20. If you don't want to customize the Sisu fields on your deal card, keep this setting enabled (green = enabled) and skip to step 22. If you do want to customize the Sisu fields on your deal card, disable this setting and move on to step 21.
About This Setting
About This Setting
When you enable this integration, default Sisu fields are added to the deal card:
1st Time Appt Set
1st Time Appt Met
Signed Date
MLS Live Date
1st Showing Date
1st Offer Date
Under Contract Date
Address Line 1
City
State
Postal Code
Forecasted Close Date
These fields sync with existing fields in Sisu. For example, if you enter a date into the 1st Time Appt Set field on the deal card, the 1st Time Appt Set field in Sisu will automatically be updated accordingly.
If you disable this setting, you're telling the integration that you want more or less fields than what's listed above. Only the fields specified in the next step will appear on the deal card.
21. If you do want to customize the Sisu fields on the deal card, do the following:
a. Click the Add Value button. This makes a drop-down field appear.
b. Click the drop-down and choose a Sisu field from the list.
c. Repeat these steps for every field you want to add. Make sure to add pipeline fields like "1st Time Appt Set" in addition to any new fields you want to see.
d. Click the trash can icon to remove a field.
About This Setting
About This Setting
This is where you specify which fields appear on the deal card. Only fields that are currently on at least 1 of your sisu forms will show up in the drop-downs. Vendor fields are the exception and cannot be added as a custom field. We recommend adding these fields first:
1st Time Appt Set
1st Time Appt Met
Signed Date
MLS Live Date
1st Showing Date
1st Offer Date
Under Contract Date
Address Line 1
City
State
Postal Code
Forecasted Close Date
Then choose up to 10 additional fields to add.
❗️Important Notes
❗️Important Notes
❗️The following fields are not available to select because data automatically syncs to these fields from other areas of the FUB lead/deal card:
Transaction Amount
First Name
Last Name
Closed Settlement Date
GCI
Gross Agent(s) Paid Income
Contact Email
Mobile Phone Number
Lead Source
❗️A character limit exists in FUB, due to this reason the Notes field is not available as a selection.
❗️Every word in the FUB deal card field must begin with a capital letter. The rest of the letters within the field name will be lowercase. Ex: 'Mls Id' - if this is edited to 'MLS ID' or any other variation it will result in integration errors.
22. Click Finish when you're done adjusting settings. The integration is now on and ready to use!
❗️ Important Note:
After you turn on the integration, 2 pipelines (Sisu Sellers and Sisu Buyers) are added automatically to FUB. These pipelines are a key part of the integration. Please do NOT rename the Sisu pipelines or the associated stages! This will result in integration errors.
23. Communicate your specific configuration preferences to your team.
How to Use the Sisu "Contact URL" Field to Open FUB Lead Profiles
As soon as you enable the Follow Up Boss integration, you can add a field called Follow Up Boss Contact URL to any form. This field isn't added to your Sisu forms by default. Agents can open a Sisu transaction that is linked to Follow Up Boss and then click the button in this field to open the corresponding FUB Lead Profile.
