Before We Begin

Integrating SlickText and Drip requires you to have an account with both platforms. It’s also important to note that SlickText has a minimum contact requirement of a mobile phone number, while Drip requires an email address. In order to sync contacts from SlickText to Drip, you must first ensure that your contacts in SlickText have an associated email address. 

Connecting your SlickText And Drip Accounts

Before you can sync contacts from your SlickText to your Drip account, you’ll need to give SlickText permission to access your Drip account. Here’s how:

1. From the Dashboard, click on your name in the bottom left corner and choose Settings. 
2. On the Settings page, click on Integrations.
3. Scroll through the list of integrations and click on Drip.
4. In the top right corner of the page, click the Install button, then click Install again to confirm.
5. If you have Drip open in another tab, you will be prompted to authorize SlickText to access your drip account. Click “Authorize”. If not, you will be prompted to log in to Drip.
6. After you authorize SlickText to access Drip the Drip install will be confirmed in SlickText.
7. If the integration is successful, you’ll be brought back to SlickText to configure the contact fields to sync.

Syncing Contact Data from SlickText to Drip

Once you have the integration installed, SlickText will automatically map the following fields to Drip if the fields are populated with data in SlickText:

• Address
• City
• Country
• Email
• First Name 
• Last Name
• Mobile Number
• Postal code
• State/Province

After you click Save, these SlickText fields will start syncing with Drip.  

Syncing Additional Contact Fields

In addition to syncing the default SlickText fields that automatically map to Drip fields, you can sync more contact fields, including Custom Fields you create in SlickText. To sync additional contact fields:

1. Click +Add Contact Field.
2. Select a SlickText field.
3. Select the Drip field you want to sync with it.

If you don’t see a field you need to sync in SlickText:

1. Open up another browser tab and create a Custom Field.
2. Go back to your Drip integration settings and click Refresh Fields.
3. Select the new custom field and the Drip field you want to sync it to. 

If you don’t see a field you need to sync in Drip, contact the Drip support team for assistance.
