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.

  • Companies: Organizations and account details

This flexibility makes Attio perfect for:
  • Complex sales pipeline management
  • Detailed customer relationship tracking
  • Custom workflow automation
  • Advanced reporting and analytics
