Understanding Leads & Conversations in Texto

Texto does not use “Contacts” the way CRMs do. Instead, Texto is built around two core objects:

Leads

A lead is any customer added into Texto.

A lead always requires:

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Phone number

Leads can enter Texto through:

  • Zapier

  • CSV upload

Leads are the people your AI Agent will message.

Conversations

A conversation is the message thread between your Texto AI Agent and a lead.

A conversation begins when:

  • A lead is added through Zapier

  • A CSV lead is uploaded

And Texto will immediately:

  • Read the lead’s query

  • Send the first message

  • Display the entire thread in your Inbox

Every lead has exactly one conversation thread.
