Membrain Guide

Being able to collaborate and communicate with colleagues about important events is critical when working with complex sales, and with Membrain Guide you can do this easily and from one central place.

Membrain Guide is a collaborative platform for the entire sales team. Comments and mentions appear here where you can respond directly to keep the conversation going and be aware of everything that happens in your pipeline or with your prospects. 

Membrain Guide also adds intelligence to your day-to-day business ensuring that you never miss a beat in your sales efforts. Upcoming appointment reminders, prospect/sales project health warnings, and email tracking are all found here allowing you to stay focused on the important things.

How it works

Membrain Guide is found all along the right-hand side of Membrain. It is always visible, though can be minimized to give you more screen width when needed.

Actions Available

  • Alerts are grouped by type to help you manage them
  • Icons at the top allow you to jump directly to a group
  • Hover over any alert to see its information
  • Click on an alert to get further information
  • Click on the icon beside an alert to see options available
  • Drag or swipe left or right on your touch screen to dismiss an alert

Icons in the example here show:

  • A task with a reminder set for today. Blue coloring indicates it is due now
  • A comment on a sales project/prospect where you have been mentioned
  • An overdue task
  • A red flag on a Sales Project
  • A yellow flag on a Sales Project
  • A red flag on a Prospect

Prospect/Sales Project/Account Growth Project alerts and messages

Any events that happen on Projects can show up as a notification in Membrain Guide. For example Yellow or Red flags, either about your own Projects or other alerts that have been configured by your Admin. 

You can quickly schedule a Follow-up Task, snooze the reminder or dismiss the notification.  

NOTE: Dismissing the notification does not dismiss the alert on the prospect or sales project itself. 

Email Notifications

Here you will be informed when the recipient has opened your email or even clicked on a link included in the email. You can choose to open the email or dismiss the alert. 

Task Management

Tasks due today, overdue tasks, and tasks assigned to you are shown here, ready for you to action. Hover over the alert to see its details or mark it as complete. Click on the alert to go directly to the task itself. 

Or click on the  more icon to see options such as Open Task, Reschedule, Delete, Mark as Complete, or Dismiss.

Mentions and Comments

This is where you will see any comments you have been mentioned in by a colleague or by your Sales Manager.  

From here you can reply to the comment or choose to go to the Sales Project to take a further look, or directly at the comment itself.

Membrain Beacon Notifications

It is now possible for you who own a Prospect, a Sales Project, or an Account Growth Project to receive notifications from Membrain Beacon about any website visitors' activities or form conversions/changes. The notification is triggered when a Stakeholder in any of the projects you own visits a web page and the Beacon logs it. If they visit another page after, the notification will get updated.

For more information about what Membrain Beacon is and how to set it up, check this article The Beacon - How it works. Detailed instructions for the installation are found in this article The Beacon - Documentation.

Integrations Notifications

  • Oneflow Agreement Updates

You, who own a Prospect, Sales Project, and/or Account Growth Project and use Oneflow to send contract agreements to your customers via Membrain, will receive a notification when a participant has opened the contract for the first time and when they have signed.

  • Marketing integrations issues

When a marketing integration you have set up in Membrain does not work properly, an error message will be created in Membrain Guide for every user with admin rights. 

This message will be triggered if, for some reason, no progress has been made in any of the sub syncs of the integration for at least 1 full day and/or the remote server has stopped working.

At the moment, this message is only provided for the HubSpot, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign & Constant Contact integrations.
