How to Setup QuickFire Connect in your System
Shape’s QuickFire Connect alerts users via phone popup to make a call. QuickFire Connect is used primarily in distribution rules, but can also be used to ensure records are followed up within a timely fashion and callback appointments are made on time and never forgotten.
When users are alerted via QuickFire Connect, all users eligible to receive the notification will be alerted of the available record by an on-screen popup to accept and call the customer, or ignore.
1.
Go to Settings > Quickfire Connect
Start by clicking Settings in the top navigation bar and clicking the “Phone Settings” drop down to find the “Quickfire Connect” settings page.
2.
Create a new Quickfire connect rule
If you choose to add a new QuickFire Connect rule, it will ask you for rule specifications in the dropdown options. The receiver options are the individual(s) eligible to receive the QuickFire connect popup, and the push options include either round robin or first come first serve.
First Come, First Serve (FCFS): In this approach, all users receive simultaneous notifications, and the user who takes action first secures the record.
Round Robin: With this method, if a user rejects a notification, it is then passed on to the next user in the predefined list.
Assigning your Quickfire Connect Rule to your Distribution Rules
Quickfire Connect can be executed in two ways:
Triggers: These are events or conditions that trigger the display of a QF notification to users.
Distribution Rules: These rules determine how QF notifications are distributed among users.
1.
Enabling Quickfire Connect in Distribution Rules
To enable QuickFire Connect in distribution rules, navigate to Settings > Distribution Rules. Edit a rule by clicking the pencil icon or create a new rule by clicking on the “Create New Rule” button at the top of the page.

Select “QuickFire Connect” for the “Distribution Method” in the area that says “Distribution Rule” and choose the desired QuickFire Connect rule in the “Recipient Options” dropdown.

By switching to this distribution rule instead of “Round Robin” your users will be required to claim leads by clicking on the QuickFire Connect popup, which will immediately start calling the lead, enhancing your speed to contact metrics.

Frequently asked questions
My Quickfire notification is coming in blank.+
This happens when the information isn’t provided by the lead provider to pull into the popup notification template. You can update your template from the Manage Notification Templates settings page.
Can I set the Quickfire popup for a specific team or department?+
Absolutely! Your options for the Quickfire Connect recipients can be set to user, team, department, all available users, or assigned user.
Can I set Quickfire Connect during business hours and have records Round Robin after hours?+
Absolutely! This is set by adding a run schedule to your distribution rule: one rule for Quickfire during business hours, and another for Round Robin after hours.
What will happen if I have a redistribution rule in place?+
If a redistribution rule is in place, the Quickfire popup will automatically close when the redistribution rule is applied.
How long will the popup remain on my screen?+
If the Quickfire alert popup isn’t interacted with after 30 seconds, it disappears. Triggered Quickfire Connect popups are an exception and stay on screen until claimed or closed.
When I click to accept a lead, what happens?+
When a user presses “Accept and Connect” on a Quickfire popup, it automatically closes for other users. If a new alert is generated while one is already displayed and not interacted with or closed, the new alert won’t pop up, to avoid multiple active dialogs.
What will happen if I am on a call when the notification comes through?+
If a user is engaged in a call, we don’t display a Quickfire popup, to avoid interrupting the conversation.
