## In short

- Without a CRM a bot collects leads but does not close them: managers re-enter data by hand and lose the conversation history.
- Across Darobots projects, integration cuts request handling time by 70-90% and lifts lead-to-customer conversion by 25-40%.
- Managers spend 50% less time on routine work and lost leads drop to a minimum.
- Darobots integrates bots with KeyCRM, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Google Sheets, and writes an API connector for custom systems.

## Why a Bot Without a CRM Is Only Half a Solution

A chatbot collects leads. A [CRM](/crm) helps convert them. When the two systems work separately, a manager manually transfers data, forgets about requests, and can't see the conversation history. When they're connected, sales get automated from the first message all the way to closing the deal.

## How the Integration Works

When a customer messages the bot, the system automatically creates a card in the CRM. The card already has the name, contact details, the request, and the full conversation history. The manager doesn't waste time figuring out the context - they see immediately what the customer needs.

Main integration scenarios:

- automatic lead creation - every new bot user becomes a lead in the CRM;
- deal status updates - when a customer confirms a booking or payment, the CRM updates automatically;
- trigger messages - if a lead gets stuck at a stage, the bot sends a follow-up message;
- segmentation - the bot tags customers by interest, and the CRM builds automatic funnels.

## Which CRMs Darobots Integrates With

Darobots has experience integrating with the main CRM systems used by Ukrainian businesses:

- KeyCRM - popular among e-commerce and service companies;
- HubSpot - for companies with international clients;
- Pipedrive - for small sales teams;
- Google Sheets - for microbusinesses that haven't adopted a CRM yet.

> If you use an atypical CRM, Darobots will build a custom connector through its API.

## What It Delivers for Business, in Numbers

Based on Darobots' project experience, [integrating](/automations) a bot with a CRM delivers the following results:

- **70-90%** less time to process a request
- **25-40%** lead-to-customer conversion growth
- **-50%** manager time on routine tasks

Separately, the number of "lost" leads drops to a minimum: a request can't disappear, because the card is created automatically.

## When to Start

> **Cheaper to Build In from the Start**
>
> If you already have a bot but leads are getting lost or processed slowly, now is the time to add CRM integration. If you're still planning a bot, build the integration in from the start. It's cheaper than adding it later.

> **Conclusion**
>
> CRM integration turns a [chatbot](/chatbots) from an "auto-responder" into a full-fledged sales tool. The bot collects leads, the CRM helps close them - and it all happens without manual work.
