Features
CoreCNX is a CRM (a shared database of your contacts and your history with them). Its contacts, pipeline (a board of stages showing where each contact stands), email, tasks, reports and enrichment are all built around one timeline. Every door knock, text and chatbot lead appears on the same contact record in date order, labeled with the product that recorded it.
What is included
The unified timeline is what sets CoreCNX apart. The other five features are the basics every CRM needs, done well and sharing one contact record.
/01, FLAGSHIP
Door knocks, text replies, chatbot leads, email opens and manual entries for each contact, in date order, each marked with a colored dot for the product it came from.
/02, Move
Drag contacts between stages you name to fit your work, such as donor tier, lead score or sales stage. Each change is recorded on the timeline.
/03, Send
Write an email, choose who receives it, and send it. SendGrid reports opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes through webhooks (automatic messages one system sends to another), and they appear on the timeline like any other event.
/04, Do
Follow-ups for each contact, with an owner and a due date. Your team adds them from the contact record or the task list.
/05, Read
Activity by source, the number of contacts in each stage and how long they stay, built around the questions a director asks at the Monday meeting.
/06, Find
Find missing phone numbers and email addresses, look up who owns a phone number, add demographic details, check that email addresses work, and check numbers against Do Not Call lists. Every paid plan includes lookup credits, and you can buy more as you go.
/01 Unified timeline
Maria Santos has been a contact since April. Volunteers have knocked on her door twice, and she has replied to two text requests, talked with Alma and opened three emails.
/A, THE CONTACT VIEW
Because CoreCNX matches records by phone number first, then by email address, Beacon, CampaignCNX+ and Alma all add to the same contact record. You see one timeline instead of three duplicate entries in three tools.
Texts are sent through CampaignCNX+, and each text, reply and opt-out is added to the person's timeline. See how CoreCNX works as a CRM with text messaging.
The color system in practice
Each product in the suite has its own color. Every timeline row, pipeline entry and report line carries the dot of the product that recorded it, so you can read a contact's history at a glance.
The same six colors appear everywhere: teal for Beacon, blue for CampaignCNX+, purple for Alma, green for email, gray for manual entries and indigo for CoreCNX.
/02, Pipeline
Set up the stages that fit your work, such as donor levels, lead temperature, the path from volunteer to organizer, or sales deal stages. When you drag a contact to a new column, the change appears on that contact's timeline.
/03, Email
Opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes appear on the contact's timeline like a door knock or text reply, so you do not need another tool to see whether Maria opened an email.
/04, Tasks
Your team adds tasks from the contact record or the task list, and gives each one an owner, a due date and a priority.
/05, Reports
Reports cover activity by source, the number of contacts in each stage, and how long contacts stay in each stage.
/06, Enrichment
Lookup results are added as fields on the contact record, and each lookup is recorded on the timeline.
How it works
Beacon, CampaignCNX+ and Alma send their events to one ingest endpoint (the single web address where CoreCNX receives activity from the suite). Each event gets the same security check and matching rules, and goes to the same timeline. Email opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes come from SendGrid, and contacts you import are recorded on the timeline as well.
/01
The suite product sends the event to POST /api/activity/ingest, naming the source, the contact (by phone or email) and what happened. The request carries a private key that only the suite products hold, so CoreCNX accepts only genuine messages.
/02
CoreCNX looks for the contact by phone number, then by email address, and creates one if neither matches. Sources that report the same person with the same phone number or email address add to one timeline.
/03
Before saving, CoreCNX checks the event's unique source record ID. If the same event arrives twice, for example after a network retry or a resend, it is recorded only once.
/04
Within seconds, the event appears on the timeline and in dashboards, reports and segments (saved groups of contacts). Events are handled as they arrive, not in later batches.
Try it on your data
Sign up and import a CSV file of your contacts, and each contact's timeline starts with the import. Connect a suite product when you are ready, and its activity appears on the same timelines.
