Apptivo integration overview

Overview

Apptivo is a cloud-based business management suite offering CRM, project management, invoicing, and other tools designed for small to mid-sized businesses to manage customers and operations in one place. Persona's Apptivo integration enables automated contact and opportunity management directly from your workflows — creating and updating records with identity-verified data so your sales and operations teams always have accurate, current information.

Benefits

Eliminate Manual Data Entry: Automatically create or update Apptivo contact and opportunity records when Persona completes an identity check, removing duplicate data entry between your identity and CRM platforms.

Accelerate Sales Pipeline: Create Apptivo opportunities automatically when a high-value user passes verification, ensuring verified leads enter the pipeline immediately without manual handoff.

Keep CRM Records Accurate: Populate Apptivo with structured, verified data — name, email, phone, address, job title, and custom attributes — sourced from Persona rather than self-reported forms.

Support SMB Compliance Workflows: For small and mid-sized businesses using Apptivo as their primary CRM, this integration ensures compliance and identity review outcomes are reflected in customer records without additional tools.

Search Before You Create: Use the List Contacts and List Opportunities actions with advanced filters to check for existing records before creating new ones, keeping your CRM clean.

Can I manage Apptivo cases or invoices from Persona?

The current integration supports contacts and opportunities. Cases, invoices, and other Apptivo apps are not supported at this time.
