Attio

Highly customizable, modern CRM platform

​
Overview

Attio is a modern, highly customizable CRM platform that helps businesses manage customer relationships, track deals, and organize data in a flexible way. This guide will walk you through connecting your Hypermode agent to Attio for automated CRM operations.

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting Attio to Hypermode, you’ll need:
  1. An Attio workspace
  2. Admin permissions to generate API credentials
  3. A Hypermode workspace

​
Getting started with Attio

​
Step 1: Sign up for Attio

If you don’t have an Attio account yet, you’ll need to create one first. Visit the Attio homepage to get started: Attio Homepage Click “Sign up” to create your new Attio workspace. You’ll need admin access to generate the API credentials required for the Hypermode integration.

​
Step 2: Note your workspace domain

Your Attio workspace URL will be in the format https://[workspace-name].attio.com. Make note of your workspace name as you’ll authenticate through Attio when adding the connection to Hypermode.

​
Creating your Attio agent

​
Step 1: Create a new agent

From the Hypermode interface, create a new agent:
  1. Click the agent dropdown menu
  2. Select “Create new Agent”
Navigate to create agent

​
Step 2: Configure agent settings

Use these recommended settings for your Attio CRM agent:
  • Agent Name: CRMAgent
  • Agent Title: Attio CRM Manager
  • Description: Manages customer relationships and deal tracking in Attio CRM
  • Instructions: You have a connection to Attio CRM. You can create and update companies and deals, search for existing records, manage deal pipelines, and track customer interactions. Always confirm data before making changes and provide clear summaries of actions taken.
  • Model: GPT-4.1 - Default - Optionally, use Claude for best results
Create agent modal

​
Step 3: View your agent profile

Once created, navigate to your agent’s settings page: Agent profile

​
Connecting to Attio

​
Step 1: Add the Attio connection

Navigate to the Connections tab and add Attio:
  1. Click “Add connection”
  2. Search for “Attio” in the available connections
Add Attio connection

​
Step 2: Configure connection with OAuth

When you select Attio, you’ll be prompted to authenticate via OAuth. This will redirect you to Attio’s authorization page: Attio App Request Follow the OAuth flow to grant Hypermode access to your Attio workspace. This secure process ensures your credentials are never directly stored in Hypermode.
The OAuth flow ensures secure authentication without exposing your API credentials. You’ll be redirected back to Hypermode once authorization is complete.

​

Attio uses a flexible data model that includes:
  • Companies: Organizations and account details
  • Deals: Sales opportunities and their progress through pipelines
  • Custom Objects: Any custom data types you’ve created
  • Lists: Collections of records with shared characteristics
  • Attributes: Custom fields that can be added to any object type
This flexibility makes Attio perfect for:
  • Complex sales pipeline management
  • Detailed customer relationship tracking
  • Custom workflow automation
  • Advanced reporting and analytics

​
Testing the connection

​
Test 1: Search for existing companies

Start a new thread with your agent and test the connection: 
Can you show me the first 10 companies in our Attio CRM?
Search companies result

​
Test 2: Create a new company

Try adding a new company to your CRM: 
Introspect the workspace and create a new company in Attio with the following details:

- Stage: Discovery
Create deal

​
Test 4: Update deal status

Move the deal through your pipeline: 
Add a note about the "Enterprise Software License - TechCorp" deal that the demo completed yesterday.
Add note
