📋 Overview of each step in the Recipe for adding new messages as Contact notes


1. Trigger: New SMS in RingCentral:

This is the starting point of the automation. It gets triggered whenever a new SMS message is received in RingCentral.

2. Actions:

  • Monitor step:

    It helps in monitoring the following actions for errors. This makes the automation more reliable.

  • Search Contacts:

    This will search the Recruit CRM database for a contact by their Phone number.

  • IF Condition:

    Checks whether a contact record is found with the same phone number and :

    • If yes, it continues to the next step, which is adding a note for the Contact record in Recruit CRM.

    • If no, then no further action is taken.

  • Error Handler:

    If something fails within the Monitor block, then this step is triggered. The Retry Logic ensures that if the errors match those specified (429, 500–504), it retries the monitored actions up to 3 times. If the error continues after 3 retries, or if the error doesn’t match the handled types, the automation stops.

That's it! I hope this helps.
