Best practices

  • Start with the one KakaoTalk (Korea) event your team acts on most, send only that into HelloGrowthCRM, and check a week of records before adding more.
  • Pick one matching key for KakaoTalk (Korea) records — usually work email or phone — so an event updates the existing lead instead of creating a duplicate.
  • Name an owner for the KakaoTalk (Korea) connection: whoever set up the webhook or Zap should also be the person who notices when it stops.
