What is Ask Propel?

Ask Propel answers questions about your team's places, visits, readings, contacts, reports and tasks, and links to the records behind each answer.

On the web

  1. Select Ask Propel in the top bar. A side panel opens.

  3. Read the answer and open the linked records to check them.

On the phone

  1. Tap Ask on the Map tab, on a place’s page or on a visit.
  2. Type or dictate your question.

What it can look up

Your team’s places, visits and field notes, metric readings and metric types, contacts, accounts, reports and tasks, and your own activity.

Good to know

  • Ask Propel needs a connection.
  • A question can be up to 2,000 characters.
  • It searches what your team has recorded. A visit still waiting on someone’s phone becomes searchable once it uploads.
  • It finds and summarizes records. It does not diagnose a problem or replace a visit. Check the source before you use an answer in a report.
  • Accounts made from the sign-up page without checkout can ask 10 questions a month.
  • If you see Ask Propel is not turned on for this team., contact support.
