Capture Console
Overview
The Capture Console gives Clari Admins more visibility into the contacts created and enriched by Capture and Capture contact sync configurations.
Note that only contact sync configurations are available to Clari Admin users via the Capture Console today. You must submit a support ticket to manage activity sync configuration options.
Clari Admins can also view any errors that occur during contact syncing.
Clari Admin Permissions
The Capture Console is for Clari Admins, and is typically only available to Advanced Ops Admin users to access and edit. Basic Ops and Read-Only Ops Admin users can also access the Capture Console, but can't edit the configuration.
Data exported from the Capture Console (i.e. net new contacts added) is valuable to many people on your revenue teams.
Advanced Ops Admin users can perform the following actions in the Capture Console:
- Make configuration changes and see the results to ensure that Capture is configured in the way that works best for your organization.
- Change between Preview Mode and Write to CRM Mode so that you can experiment with different configurations without affecting contacts in CRM.
- View how many contacts are syncing per week to verify whether or not configuration changes are needed and monitor the health of your sales processes.
- Export contact sync data for further analysis.
- Easily spot and troubleshoot errors that occur when importing contacts.
