Create territories using any of the 5 methods described in Territories overview – and Mapsly will be automatically assigning your CRM records to them based on records’ location.
You may also activate auto-saving of the assigned territories back to your CRM records. If you’re using a CRM that syncs data to Mapsly in real time, like HubSpot, or using Mapsly API to push data to Mapsly, you may expect to see the assigned territories in your newly created CRM record within 10-20 seconds. Once set up, the assignment process is entirely automatic.
You may select:
objects whose records need to be assigned to territories,
and territory groups whose territories should participate in auto-assignment.
For every object that you select for auto-assignment you can select the field to which Mapsly should save the assigned territories, which can be any standard or custom one.
Territory assignment requires Pro or Enterprise plan, both of which include auto-assignment to up to 100 territories. This limit can be raised for an additional fee.
