Integration via Reply’s Chrome Extension

The Chrome extension integration syncs individual contacts and contact lists from Copper CRM to Reply.

Syncing Individual Contacts

Reply’s Chrome Extension supports all basic and custom contact fields, however, these fields should be correctly mapped and have the same field type in Copper.

If a contact is not synced yet, Chrome Extension will prompt you to create and save them to Reply. If a contact is already saved to Reply, Chrome Extension will open the contact profile and enrich it with the available data from Copper.

There are two types of integration profiles: “Default” and “Custom.”

The “Default” profile allows you to start using the integration out of the box. The “Custom” profile allows you to set up custom field mapping or filters between Copper and Reply.

A note on email addresses:

While there may be multiple emails for each People record in Copper, for example two “Work Emails” and one “Personal Email”, Reply has one “Email” field that corresponds to the Person’s primary email. By default, Reply will use the Person’s first “Work Email” as the contact’s email.

If a Person does not have a “Work Email” Reply will use their “Personal Email” as the primary email address.

If there is no “Personal Email” assigned to the People record in Copper, Reply will use the “Other Email” as the primary email.

  2. Click “Add new rule”.

  3. In the “Select Copper” field drop down list, select the “Country” field.
