<Example of JANDI Message Templates>

In the JANDI webhook message, Only contents in the first square speech bubble can be searched. Therefore, please insert the data you want to search at JANDI in the section of ‘ Messeage (required)‘. I usually search for business contacts by name and company. So I put two attributes of data in the first speech bubble.

 

2-10) Last, click the [TEST & CONTINUE] button to test for JANDI webhook messages.

 

Please make sure to turn Zap [On] at the top right screen. Only when Zap is on, you can get JANDI notifications.

 

 

4. Search Google Contacts in JANDI

Now search the Google Contacts information in JANDI! A search keyword is a ‘name’ or ‘company’ name of the contacts. When you click on the search result, you will directly move to the message. That’s why you can easily find additional contact information such as job titles, emails and phone numbers on the JANDI. You can also search for JANDI messages on mobile.
