Why Close CRM + iMessage?
Close CRM is built for inside sales teams that move fast. With Sendblue's native iMessage integration, you add the highest-response-rate messaging channel directly into the CRM your team already uses every day.
The response rate advantage: Email open rates average 20-30%. SMS sits around 5-10%. iMessage response rates consistently hit 30-45%. For sales teams using Close to manage high-velocity pipelines, iMessage is the channel that actually gets replies.
Because this is a native integration, setup takes minutes — not hours of Zapier configuration. Messages sync to Close contact records automatically, so your team has complete visibility into every conversation. No switching between tabs, no lost context.
Pair Close CRM's pipeline management with Sendblue's iMessage delivery to build outreach sequences that combine email, calls, and blue bubble messages. See how other CRMs connect with Sendblue: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive.
