Importing permissions must be turned on by your site administrator. Please contact your site administrator if you do not have this function available.
This import guide will show you the steps to take to import records if you are a site administrator or have been extended import privileges.
Required or mandatory fields are set by your site administrator and are marked with an asterisk (*) visible in the Edit View of records.
Below are the templates for the standard fields. Please note, these do not include any custom fields.
Filters can be created on most AMPED modules including Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Calendar, and Campaigns. To add a new filter, click the filter button displaying your current filter, then find “Add New” at the bottom of your filter list.
Follow along with this support video to create a new filter.
Only users with administrative access can add email templates to your site. To have a template loaded, email your site administrator the template and provide them with a name for the template and a subject line.
If you are a site administrator, adding a template to your site can be done through the ‘E-Mail Templates’ section of the Admin Settings. View the Amped Administrative Guide for further instruction on loading a template.
To apply a template to your email, select “Add Template” in the email compose window.
How do I create a Campaign and run a mass email through it?
Creating a campaign is similar to creating a record. Simply access the Campaigns module and click ‘Add New’ at the top or bottom of the list. If you are unsure of how to create a record, please refer to the video tutorial on Creating a Record. Once the Campaign has been created, you can start to add various metrics and add Leads or Contacts that you are marketing to. To add Leads and/or Contacts to the campaign, locate the Lead or Contact section and select ‘Load List’ in the desired section. Then select your filter to load the records. If there are a high number of records, give the system a few minutes to load.
If you do not have a filter created, please view the video on Creating Smart View Filters. Individual Leads and Contacts can also be selected by choosing the ‘Find Existing’ button in the appropriate Lead or Contact section. To create Leads or Contacts on the fly to add to a campaign, select the 'Add New' button in the desired Lead or Contact section.
To send the mass email to the entire filter, click ‘Select Action’ and choose ‘Send Email’. If you wish to send the email to a selection or page of records from the list, do so by checking the left-most box next to the page or individual records. View these short videos for more instruction on creating Campaigns.
To see your Activities for the current week, you must create a filter on your Calendar module. For help creating a filter, view this video on Creating Filters.
For this specific filter, you will need to scroll to the ‘Standard Filters’ section of the filter edit mode. Select ‘Calendar – Start Date’ and ‘Current Week’ as your column and duration, respectively. The filter is dynamic and will update weekly.
Note* if you are seeing other users Activities in your list, it means you are above them in the Role Hierarchy constructed by your site administrator. To remove those Activities from your list, edit your filter and scroll down to the Advanced Filters section. Once there, you should select these filter criteria: “Owner – Equals – ‘Your AMPED user account email address’”. *Note: When selecting Owner' as a filtering criteria, the user must type the value as the username and not First Name Last Name to be filtered upon. The reason for this is that First Name Last Name, is not always unique (ex. each company may have several John Smiths), but username is always unique.
Change Ownership permissions must be granted by the site administrator. If the 'Change Owner' button is not readily available to the user in the ‘Select Actions’ dropdown on any sales module, please contact your site administrator to have them extend Change Ownership permissions.
If you are a Site Administrator or have Change Ownership permissions, watch this short video to see how to Change Ownership.
Can I add a signature to the emails I send out of amped?
The user can specify either a primary signature or alternative signatures for outgoing emails through the User Preferences.
From the User Preferences window, scroll down to the ‘User Signature’ section and select ‘Create/Edit a Signature.
If you are seeing other users’ records in your list view, it could be one of two reasons:
To see only your records in a list view, you can create a filter to do so. If you need help creating a filter, watch this short video on how to Create a Filter.
Unless you have deleted your records, they still exist in AMPED. Below are some reasons as to why you may not be seeing your records.
AMPED works best with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Make sure your browser settings are up-to-date. If you experience any irregularities from normal use, try clearing the Cache and Cookies in your browser. Here are some documents to help with clearing the cache, How to Clear Cache.
AMPED allows you to configure your outgoing email server to send directly out of the application. AMPED does not place any restrictions on how many emails you can send per day. You will need to check with your email service provider about any daily limitations.
When sending mass emails, AMPED recommends you limit your batches to 5,000 recipients and spread batches by 30 minutes.
AMPED support can be reached via email at support@amped.ai.
Our support staff can also be reached via phone from 9:00am-5:30pm EST Monday-Friday at 267-756-1180.
Below are some of the reasons why your emails are being detected as spam:
The site administrator has the ability to extend edit and delete permissions through the ‘Profiles’ section of the Admin Settings. If these permissions are not extended for a given module, users will not be able to edit or delete records. If you are a standard user, contact your site administrator to let them know you cannot edit or delete your records. If you are a site administrator, view the Amped Administrative Guide for further instruction of Profile permissions.
Additionally, the record may have ‘View’ permissions extended through the sharing rules admin setting, but not ‘edit.’ This will allow you to view other users’ records, but not edit or delete the records. If you are a standard user, contact your site administrator to see if any sharing rules have been implemented. If you are a site administrator, view the Amped Administrative Guide for further instruction of Sharing permissions.
Records can be sorted in list views of a module alphabetically by clicking on the column header. For example, if you want to sort your list of Leads alphabetically by last name, click the ‘Last Name’ header once to sort from A-Z. Click ‘Last Name’ again to sort from Z-A.
There are two ways to search for records or information in AMPED:
There are a couple of ways to get your login credentials.
If you cannot remember your username or password, you will need to contact your site administrator for your login information.
There is not a way in AMPED to convert Contacts, Accounts, or Opportunities back to Leads. We recommend the following.
After Lead Conversion, a new Contact, Account and Opportunity are created. You will need to review the information from the new records and re-consolidate those records back into a Lead. Use the Lead Import Template for the format and re-import the Leads. Once the new Leads have been successfully re-imported, go back to the Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities that were accidentally converted and delete them from AMPED.
In AMPED, a Module refers to the various left menu items, including Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, etc. as well as any admin settings, Users, Profiles, Custom Fields, etc. Module names have the ability to be customized via the Menu and Module Organizer admin setting. If you are and administrative user, follow the Amped Administrative Guide for further instruction.
All new users need to be created by an administrator user. If you do not have administrator access, you will need to contact your site administrator to add any new users. Follow the Amped Administrative Guide for further instruction on adding new users.
Dependent on your AMPED package, you may have reached your user limit and will need to upgrade for more users.
Only an existing administrator can give administrative access to another user. If the user already exists, go to the User Preferences for the desired username in the ‘Users’ section of the admin settings. Then, edit the user, check the box next to ‘Admin’ and save.
If you are creating a new user, simply check that same box next to ‘Admin’ to turn on administrator privileges. See the Amped Administrative Guide for more instruction of creating a new user.
Most standard information from a Lead record (Address Information, First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone Number, etc.) is automatically mapped over to the new Contact, Account and Opportunity when a Lead is converted in AMPED.
Any custom fields that need to be mapped to the new Contact, Account or Opportunity upon Lead conversion can be set by a site administrator through the ‘Custom Fields’ section of the admin settings. See the Amped Administrative Guide for more instruction with custom field mapping.
AMPED allows site administrators to setup an outgoing email service to send emails out of AMPED including Gmail. Any email sent out of AMPED will be saved in the ‘Emails’ section of the record. See the AMPED Administrator Outgoing Server Configurations guide for more instruction on setting up your outgoing email server in AMPED.
Emails sent out of a personal email can still be saved to a record in AMPED via the email archive service.
Standard users can use this guide for more instruction on how the AMPED email archive service works. Standard User Email Archive Service Guide.
Administrative users can use this guide for more instruction with setting up your archive email settings. Amped Administrative Guide
