Overview

Keap is a customer relationship management and business automation platform for small businesses. It combines contact records, sales pipelines, email and text messaging, appointments, payments, invoices, landing pages and reporting.

Keap supports integrations through Zapier, an open API and webhooks. Its mobile applications provide access to contacts, appointments, tasks, communications and invoices on supported devices.
