TL;DR: Put Instantly’s Website Visitors data inside your CRM so reps act on real buying intent the moment it happens. Install the pixel, create a high-intent “Website Visitor view,” and connect alerts plus a simple automation to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive. Score visits to pricing, demo, and docs, push priority accounts to reps, and log outcomes for audit-ready forecasting.

You can see which companies are on your pricing page right now, with that intent data landing in your CRM as tasks, fields, and alerts. This runbook shows you exactly how to set it up with Instantly’s Website Visitors so your team stops chasing cold lists and starts working warm, identified accounts.

What is website visitor data and why sales leaders need it

Website visitor data turns anonymous sessions into sales signals you can work. With a small script on your site, Instantly identifies U.S. visitors, enriches company and contact details, and records page-level behavior that correlates with buying intent. You can add the Website Visitors pixel in your site header or tag manager.

Why this matters:

• Most B2B sites convert only 1 to 3 percent by form. In B2B SaaS, a 2025 benchmark shows a 1.1 percent conversion, so roughly 98 percent leave without raising a hand. See the B2B conversion benchmark.
• Buyers have limited vendor face time. Gartner reports they spend only 17 percent of buying time with suppliers, so timing and relevance win. See the Gartner report.
• Buyers want early contact. Research shows 88 percent of B2B buyers welcome vendor outreach during the research phase. See the B2B buyer statistics.

Beyond basic analytics: identifying warm leads from website traffic

Analytics count visits. Visitor identification shows who is visiting and what they viewed. Instantly’s pixel focuses on U.S. traffic, enriches company details, and can include business emails where available, then lets you filter and route those visitors into outreach and alerts. Read the Website Visitors getting started guide.

• Install the pixel once in your site header or tag manager.
• Build a Website Visitor view that filters for high-intent pages and ICP fit.
• Send hot visits to a Slack channel for immediate action with Slack alerts.

Teams routinely find more qualified accounts via identification than forms alone, because most qualified visitors do not convert on-page. See the B2B conversion benchmark.

Strategic value: boosting sales efficiency with visitor insights

• Shorten time to first touch. Real-time Slack alerts and CRM tasks help reps reach prospects during the research window. Buyers are open to outreach at this stage.
• Improve account coverage. Technology purchases usually involve several stakeholders, so account-level signals matter more than single form fills. See the B2B buyer statistics.
• Forecast with proof. When opportunities reference specific visit events and pages, leaders can audit pipeline sources and intent tiers in CRM reviews using the Salesforce and HubSpot integration via OutboundSync.

Checklist: benefits for sales leaders

• Bold prioritization based on live behavior
• Repeatable routing and tasks for reps
• Fewer cold touches, more relevant outreach
• Audit-ready source attribution and conversion tracking
• Slack alerts for hot visits only
• Less tool sprawl and fewer rogue automations

• Identification scope and filters
  • U.S. traffic coverage, page-level filters, and ICP filters
  • Clear guidance on verification before outreach
• CRM integration patterns

Helping sales: prioritizing leads with CRM-integrated visitor data

Keep the scoring rules simple and auditable. Rank both behavior and fit.

Scoring framework (example weights)

• High-intent pages: Pricing, demo, ROI calculator in last 3 days (+50)

Integrating with HubSpot

You have three reliable patterns. Pick one now and add others later.

Pattern A. Real-time alerts plus manual record creation for the hottest accounts

1. Create a “Website Visitor view” in Instantly. Filter by URL contains /pricing or /demo, plus ICP fit.
   Done when: View returns only high-intent visitors. See importing Website Visitors into a campaign.
2. Connect Slack alerts to that view using an incoming webhook.
   Done when: A test visit posts to your Slack channel. Set up Slack alerts.
3. In HubSpot, create Companies and Contacts from those Slack alerts.
   Done when: A test pricing-page visit appears as a Company with Last Visit and Last Page fields filled.

Pros: Fast and simple for hot accounts. Con: Manual for volume.

Pattern B. Daily import to Companies and Contacts

1. Export identified visitors daily from Instantly or add them to a campaign view for batching.
   Done when: CSV shows domain, last page, last visit, and score. See importing Website Visitors into a campaign.
2. HubSpot import wizard: Create or update Companies by domain. Then import Contacts.
   Done when: Imports show new or updated records with mapped fields.

Pros: Clean mapping at scale. Con: Not instant.

Pattern C. Automation via partner or iPaaS for ongoing attribution and routing

1. Connect OutboundSync to HubSpot and Instantly to log outbound activity and tie replies and statuses back to CRM.
   Done when: Instantly events appear on timelines and in reports. See Salesforce and HubSpot integration via OutboundSync.
2. Add a Zapier or Make scenario to create HubSpot records when a lead crosses a threshold in your “Website Visitor view” workflow, such as when a rep marks a lead as Interested.
   Done when: A test Interested event creates a HubSpot Contact with mapped fields. See the Zapier recipe.

Notes: OutboundSync handles ongoing campaign attribution and block-list logic. Pair it with your visitor routing so sales sees the full funnel. See OutboundSync for Instantly + HubSpot.

Integrating with Salesforce

Use the same three patterns, adapted to Salesforce objects.

Pattern A. Real-time alerts plus manual record creation

1. “Website Visitor view” + Slack alerts for hot traffic.
   Done when: Slack alert fires on a test pricing visit. See importing Website Visitors into a campaign.
2. Create an Account by domain. If contact email exists, create a Lead or Contact.
   Done when: Account shows Visitor Score, Last Visit, Last Page.

Pattern B. Daily import to Accounts and Leads

1. Export daily CSV of identified visitors.
   Done when: CSV contains domain and behavior fields.
2. Data Import Wizard: Upsert Accounts by Website domain, create Leads for contacts.
   Done when: Test row produces one Account and one Lead without duplicates.

Pattern C. Automation via partner or iPaaS

1. Connect OutboundSync to Salesforce and Instantly to log activities and statuses for full-funnel reporting.
   Done when: Events appear on Leads or Accounts/Contacts with metadata. See OutboundSync for Instantly + Salesforce.
2. Add a Make or Zapier flow to create Salesforce Leads when a visitor becomes “Interested” in your Instantly workflow.
   Done when: Test event creates a Lead with domain, score, last page, and last visit. See how to use webhooks.

Integrating with Pipedrive

Pattern A. Real-time alerts plus manual record creation

1. “Website Visitor view” + Slack alerts for hot visits.
   Done when: Test visit posts to Slack. See importing Website Visitors into a campaign.
2. Create Organization by domain and a Person when an email exists.
   Done when: Organization shows custom fields for score, last visit, and last page.

Pattern B. Daily import to Organizations and Deals

1. Export daily CSV and import into Pipedrive.
   Done when: Organizations update by domain without duplicates.

Pattern C. iPaaS automation on status change

1. A Zapier recipe can create a Pipedrive lead or deal when a lead is marked Interested in an Instantly campaign fed by your “Website Visitor view.”
   Done when: Test Interested event creates a Pipedrive Lead. See Integrations collection.

Post-integration best practices and troubleshooting

• Field audit
  • Verify Visit URL, Last Visit, Last Page, and Score write correctly on each record.
• SLA and routing
  • Hot lead SLA: 1 business day. Warm: 2 business days. Track overdue tasks weekly.
• Meeting hygiene
  • Associate meetings to the originating record for attribution.
• Data drift
  • If fields stop updating, re-auth integrations, check iPaaS logs, and confirm API limits.
• Duplicate creep
  • Dedupe Companies/Accounts by domain and Contacts by email.
• Alert fatigue
  • Post only hot visits to Slack. Route warm to queues.

Quick fixes

• No records created: Check pixel install status and that the test IP is U.S. and consenting. See the pixel install guide.
• Missing fields: Revisit field mappings and object permissions.
• Too many low-value alerts: Tighten your visitor view to pricing, demo, and docs.
