Settings overview — account configuration in HoopAI
Configure your business profile, team and permissions, email services, phone system, integrations, custom fields, custom values, scoring, domains, tags, audit logs, objects, WhatsApp, external tracking, and webhooks.
The Settings section is the central hub for configuring every aspect of the HoopAI Platform to match your business. From your business profile and staff permissions to phone numbers, integrations, and custom data fields — all platform-level configuration lives here.
Go to Settings → Business Profile and fill in your company name, address, logo, and timezone. This information is used across invoices, emails, and automation templates throughout the platform.
2
Add your team members
Navigate to Settings → My Staff and invite the people on your team. Assign each person a role that controls which sections and actions they can access.
3
Set up your communication channels
Configure your email sending domain under Settings → Email Services and purchase or import phone numbers under Settings → Phone System. If you plan to send SMS at volume, complete A2P 10DLC registration in Settings → Trust Center.
4
Connect your integrations
Go to Settings → Integrations and connect the external tools your business uses — Google Workspace, Facebook, Stripe, and any others. Integrations unlock features across the platform such as calendar sync, ad reporting, and payment processing.
5
Set up custom fields and custom values
Under Settings → Custom Fields, add any data fields your team needs that are not in the default contact or opportunity records. Under Settings → Custom Values, store reusable values (like your company phone number or brand color hex code) that can be dropped into any template.
Changes made in Settings apply account-wide and affect all users. Some settings — such as custom fields and custom values — are also accessible from inside specific modules. Changes made in either place are reflected everywhere.
What is the difference between custom fields and custom values?
Custom fields are data fields that appear on individual records — for example, a “Preferred Location” field on a contact record. Each record has its own value for that field. Custom values are account-level constants — for example, your brand name or support phone number — that you store once and reference using a merge tag in any template or automation. Custom fields hold per-record data; custom values hold global account data.
What is the difference between integrations and private integrations?
Integrations are pre-built connectors to popular platforms like Google, Facebook, and Stripe — you authenticate and the connection is configured for you. Private integrations are custom API connections you build yourself using HoopAI’s developer tools, used when connecting to platforms that do not have a pre-built integration.
What is A2P 10DLC and why do I need to register?
A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person, 10-digit long code) is the US carrier standard for business SMS. If you send SMS messages in the United States at any volume, carrier regulations require you to register your business and messaging use case. Unregistered SMS traffic is blocked or filtered. Complete registration in Settings → Trust Center before running SMS campaigns.
What is the difference between external tracking and the analytics dashboard?
External tracking is where you add third-party scripts — such as a Google Analytics tag or a Facebook Pixel — that run on your published pages and send data to those external platforms. The analytics dashboard built into HoopAI shows you first-party data about your pages and funnels within the platform itself. The two are complementary and independent.
Can I control what each team member can see and do?
Yes. Roles in Settings → My Staff determine which navigation items and actions each user can access. You can also configure user-level permissions for specific features like calendars and pipelines. Reach out to your account admin if you need a role with a custom permission set.
What do webhooks do and when should I use them?
Webhooks send a real-time HTTP POST request to a URL of your choice whenever a specific event occurs in HoopAI — for example, when a contact is created, a form is submitted, or an opportunity changes stage. Use webhooks to push data into external tools (like a custom database, a BI platform, or a third-party automation tool) that are not covered by a pre-built integration.
