CRM integration options for the Presence® Platform

How to choose between Direct Integration and Zapier Integration when connecting your CRM to Luxury Presence.

Overview

Luxury Presence supports two primary integration methods — Direct Integration and Zapier Integration. The right choice depends on your CRM, how much customization you need, and your technical comfort level.

Even if a direct integration is available for your CRM, Zapier may still be used for enhanced flexibility and customization.

Direct Integration

Direct integration connects your CRM using an API key, email, or unique ID. Once connected, lead data syncs automatically with no manual entry required.

Supported CRMs: Follow Up Boss, MoxiWorks, Christie's, Compass, SendGrid, Rechat, and Lofty.

Best for: Simple, reliable lead syncing with minimal setup and maintenance.

Limitations:

  • Only works with the seven supported CRMs listed above
  • Limited tagging and filtering capabilities
  • Not all backend data fields can be transferred

Zapier Integration

Zapier acts as a flexible bridge between your CRM and Luxury Presence, enabling customized workflows — ideal for CRMs not on the direct integration list or when you need advanced routing logic.

Best for: Custom tagging, lead filtering, multi-step workflows, and CRMs not directly supported.

Advanced use cases:

  • Assign leads via round robin (requires Follow Up Boss or Zapier Paths)
  • Tag leads by form type (e.g., Schedule a Showing)
  • Filter leads by behavior or source
  • Route leads to different teams
  • Integrate with platforms like Mailchimp, Salesforce, and more

Limitations:

  • Requires more setup time and some technical knowledge
  • Most custom integrations require a paid Zapier plan
  • Zapier needs access to connected tools — consider security implications
  • Debugging takes more time than direct integrations

Setup requirements:

  • Luxury Presence Platform login credentials
  • Zapier account credentials
  • CRM account credentials

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) during setup

Some CRMs require Two-Factor Authentication, which means the account owner must be available during setup to provide verification codes. CRMs with 2FA include:

GoHighLevel, Lofty, Salesforce, Follow Up Boss, Compass, HubSpot, CINC, MoxiWorks, and others.

FAQs

Can I use Zapier even if my CRM is already supported by direct integration?

Yes. Zapier can be used alongside or instead of direct integration when you need custom tags, filters, or more advanced workflow logic. See [Direct vs. Zapier integration with Follow Up Boss in Presence®] for a detailed FUB-specific comparison.

Which integration method should I start with?

If your CRM is on the supported direct integration list and you don't need custom tagging or routing, start with direct integration — it's faster and lower maintenance. If you need more control, use Zapier.
