Attio Setup
Overview
Attio is the modern programmable CRM. Unlike HubSpot (unified suite) or Salesforce (enterprise customizability), Attio is built for teams that want a CRM that works like a database — flexible objects, real-time collaboration, and API-first architecture. Best for startups and growth-stage B2B SaaS that find HubSpot too rigid and Salesforce too heavy.

When to Use
- "Set up Attio for our sales team"
- "Configure Attio objects and pipelines"
- "Build Attio workflows"
- "Migrate to Attio from HubSpot/Salesforce"
- "Set up enrichment in Attio"
Step-by-Step Process
Load crm-toolkit first — crm-selection, contacts-vs-leads (Attio has no Lead object
— use status on People + lists as SDR queues), and attio-blueprint.
Phase 1: Object Model
Attio is object-based. Standard: Companies, People, Deals. Custom objects for anything: Subscriptions, Customer Success Plans, Partner relationships.
Contacts vs leads: No Lead object and no conversion step. Inbound → Person
with status=inbound; SDR list filters the queue; qualified → create Deal.
See crm-toolkit → contacts-vs-leads reference.
Key difference vs Salesforce: No rigid Lead→Account→Contact hierarchy. Everything is a flat object that can be linked. A Person can belong to multiple Companies. A Deal can involve multiple People.
Phase 2: Lists and Views
Lists are Attio's killer feature. Create dynamic lists based on any attribute: "Companies in my ICP with no open deals," "Deals stalled >14 days," "Contacts with unverified emails."
Views: kanban, table, timeline, list. Each view filters a list. Share views with the team. Save frequently-used views.
Phase 3: Workflows
Attio's automation engine. Triggers: record created/updated/deleted, list membership changed, date reached. Actions: update record, create task, send Slack notification, call webhook.
Key workflows:
- New deal created → assign rep, create onboarding task
- Deal stalled >14 days → Slack alert to manager
- Company added to ICP list → auto-enrich via webhook
- Contact email unverified → flag for verification
Phase 4: Enrichment Integration
Attio's API-first design makes enrichment integration clean:
- Webhook on record create → external enrichment → write back to Attio
- Scheduled list-based enrichment: "enrich all companies added this week"
- Real-time enrichment via Zapier/Make triggers
Phase 5: Collaboration
Attio's real-time collaboration: multiple team members editing the same record simultaneously. Notes, comments, mentions. Slack integration for notifications on deal changes, new assignments, and stalled deals.
Output Format
Attio configuration document with: object model design, list/views catalog, workflow automation map, enrichment integration setup, and team collaboration guidelines.
Quality Check
- Object model: Companies, People, Deals configured with custom attributes
- Key Lists created (ICP companies, stalled deals, unverified contacts)
- Workflows automating repetitive tasks
- Enrichment integration via webhooks active
- Team views shared and adopted
Common Pitfalls
-
Over-building objects. Start with Companies, People, Deals. Add custom objects only when these three can't represent what you need.
-
No lists. Lists are Attio's superpower. Without them, it's just a spreadsheet. Build lists for every segment and workflow trigger.
-
HubSpot migration without cleanup. Moving bad data to Attio is just bad data in a better tool. Clean your data before migrating.
-
API-first without API use. Attio's API is the differentiator. Use it for enrichment, automation, and custom integrations.
Execution Artifacts
references/framework-notes.md— named frameworks, citation anchors, and operating assumptionstemplates/output-template.md— copy-paste deliverable structure for the userscripts/check-output.py— local checklist validator for required sections This skill includes lightweight artifacts the agent can load on demand: Use the artifacts when the user asks for an implementation-ready deliverable, a repeatable workflow, or a quality check rather than generic advice.
