SPOTIO allows you to configure Custom Activities and Activity Results under the Workflow section of Settings. Activities are shared across all data objects. Custom Activities and Results allow you to track your team's interactions in the field specific to the activity they are executing. With Custom Activities and Results, sales teams are able to gain visibility into the outcomes of any scheduled sales activity including Visits, Appointments, Calls/Texts, and more!

Configuring Custom Activities and Results

Configuring custom activities and results can only be completed by an Account Admin on the web app.

To configure custom activities and results:

  1. Tap Settings in the bottom left corner.
  2. Click Workflow.
  3. Under the What activities do you want to track, click Configure.

Default Activity Types

SPOTIO provides default activities for you to use and customize. You can customize the results of these activities. The names of default activities are not presently customizable. 

  • Visit - Visits are a special kind of activity. They can be logged without creating a calendar event for that activity and allow you to track Face-to-Face interactions from your team in the field. Visit Results are used by many teams to track door knocks and results, or any other type of face-to-face prospecting activity. 
  • Call - Call Results appear after a call from a SPOTIO Number has been completed. The user placing or receiving a call can provide a result for that communication here, as well as any notes from the call. Reps can also create and log a Call Activity manually and choose from the same list of results.
  • Text - Text Results are automatically logged after a text message has been sent or received by a SPOTIO Number. 
  • Email - Email Results are automatically logged after an email has been sent from an integrated email address. 
  • Appointment - Appointment Results can be used to disposition an appointment that has been created. They are typically used by Closers to mark what happened at an appointment to provide visibility of results to Appointment Setters, Managers, and Admins.
  • Other Default Activity Types:
    • These include: Qualify, Investigate and Estimate, Make a Proposal, and Get Feedback.
    • You can customize the results for these too, or suspend them from use.

The Default Duration is the amount of time that will be blocked by default on the assigned user’s calendar for the activity when it is scheduled. 

The user scheduling an activity can modify the duration of the activity when they schedule it.
