How to Connect HomeAdvisor Leads to Smith.ai Outreach Campaigns

Our Zapier integration helps business owners save time by automating processes that are typically done manually.

This guide will walk you through how to connect HomeAdvisor and Smith.ai via Zapier.

In doing so, leads generated through your HomeAdvisor account will receive a call back through Smith.ai's outreach campaign services.

Prerequisites

To use Zapier to connect HomeAdvisor and Smith.ai, you will need:

Add a Lead from HomeAdvisor to Smith.ai Outreach Campaign for Sales Outreach

  1. Sign up for a premium Zapier account. If you already have one, log in.
  2. Click "Create Zap" in the upper left corner.
  3. Name your Zap. An example could be "Connect HomeAdvisor to Smith.ai."
  4. In the App event search bar, type in "Webhooks" and select "Webhooks by Zapier" from the drop-down.
  5. For the trigger event, choose "Catch Hook."
  6. Leave blank the field titled "Pick off a Child Key." Just click continue.
  7. Your webhook URL will be produced. Copy that webhook URL.
  8. Open up your email.
  9. Send an email to CRMintegrations@angi.com. Make sure you include your name, your business name, your phone number, the copied webhook URL, and ask that they send all of your HomeAdvisor leads to that webhook URL. (FYI, you may need to save the Zap and come back to this when they reply.)
    Yes, this is the correct email address for HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor is owned by Angi. (formerly Angi's List).
  10. Once a HomeAdvisor representative confirms that your leads have been pointed to the webhook URL, go ahead and click on "Test trigger."
  11. The test should pull in recent lead information. Verify the information. Then click "Continue."
  12. Next, add an Action titled "Formatted by Zapier." (This will allow you to separate the first and last name of your HomeAdvisor lead, so the information is sent to Smith.ai in the right format.)
  13. For the event, select "Text." Then click "Continue."
  14. Under the Transform field, select "Split Text."
    1. Under the Input field, select "Name."
    2. Under the Separator field, type [:space:].
    3. Under the Segment Index field, select "All (as Separate Fields)."
    4. Click the "Continue" button to move forward.
  15. Verify the names have been split successfully.
  16. Click "Continue" again.
  17. Click Action. In the App event search bar, type in "Smith.ai." Click the option with the orange logo.
  18. For the trigger Event, click "Call Someone (Outreach Campaign Only)."
  19. Connect your Zapier account to your Smith.ai account.
    1. You'll need to add your API key when prompted.
  20. Select "Yes, Continue" after inserting your API Key.
  21. Under Set up action, map your contact fields by pairing data with what is being sent from the webhook by HomeAdvisor.
    1. In the "What should we do?" required field, include instructions for the Smith.ai agents who will be making the call. You can simply write "Follow instructions in account" if you want Smith.ai to follow default directions.
    2. In the "What if they don't answer" field, include instructions for the Smith.ai agents for if the customer doesn't pick up the phone. You can simply write "Follow instructions in account" if you want Smith.ai to follow default directions.
    3. Complete the final required field "When would you like us to call back?" This can be based on your Smith.ai default settings, or you can choose the option for 24/7 (i.e. whatever time the lead comes through).
  22. Once you finish mapping your fields, select "Continue."
  23. In the "Test action" section, select "Skip test." (That will avoid Smith.ai from calling this test lead!)
  24. Once you have confirmed all of the Zap details, publish your Zap and turn it on.

All your HomeAdvisor leads will now be called back by Smith.ai Outreach Campaign agents and logged in your Smith.ai account.

If it's your first time building a Zap, review the basics of creating Zaps to get started. You're not limited to a single action. Try using filters, formatting, and other advanced Zapier actions.
