Import a Single Lead, Contact, or Account in Outreach from a CRM

Purpose: 

The purpose of this article is to provide direction to Outreach users in creating a Lead, Contact, or Account in Outreach from a CRM. 

Note: Organizations operating multiple Plugins connected to a single instance (i.e. a Production instance and Sandbox CRM instance) will only be able to pull records from the first instance connected.

Adding a single lead, contact, or account from your CRM only takes a few clicks within the Outreach platform. The steps are outlined below.

Note: If you're using Salesforce and adding multiple Leads, Contacts or Accounts at once, we recommend creating and importing a Salesforce report.
