Combining HootSuite-s extensive social monitoring and publishing capabilities and Nimble-s customer engagement and social selling tools will enable business teams to pinpoint and connect with key prospects and existing customers with increased relevance.
The Nimble integration adds context to your contacts by clearly displaying useful Nimble contact information, such as additional social profiles, background info, location, phone number, email, and most importantly, date of last contact. This information is pulled directly from Nimble-s contact record and conveniently displayed in your HootSuite dashboard.
If the contacts you-re engaging with in HootSuite do not already exist as Nimble records, they can be easily imported.
