What makes 1stContact.ai the best HubSpot alternative?

Voice AI agents capture and qualify leads around the clock, automated follow-up responds to inbound inquiries within the critical first five minutes, and built-in business coaching helps you speed your go-to-market—all inside one dark-mode dashboard.

Yes. We synchronize your entire digital footprint with native, enterprise-grade local listings synchronization powered by Uberall, so your hours, address, and map listings stay accurate across directories—and you stop losing local customers to competitors.

Who is 1stContact.ai built for?

B2B agencies managing multiple locations, high-growth SMBs scaling outbound without a large in-house sales team, and non-profits maximizing outreach on a lean budget.

1stContact.ai Announces Upcoming Integration with SKOOP

July 19, 20262 min readBy 1stContact.ai

July 18, 2026

1stContact.ai is thrilled to announce an upcoming integration withSKOOP— a video creation and relationship-building app for LinkedIn, Gmail, Instagram, and other platforms.SKOOPis a Chrome extension and dashboard that helps professionals increase booked meetings with hyper-personalized video messages, convert more sales with a simple CRM, and build their brand through AI-assisted social content.

Create Videos Right Inside 1stContact.ai

Once the integration goes live, 1stContact.ai users will be able to record, personalize, and send video messages without ever leaving the 1stContact.ai platform. Whether you're following up with a lead, nurturing a relationship, or prospecting on LinkedIn, SKOOP-powered video will be available directly inside your 1stContact.ai account.

Build Relationships Across LinkedIn and Beyond

SKOOP helps you turn static connections into real conversations by showing prospects you're a real person — not automation. Paired with 1stContact.ai's unified inbox, CRM, and automation, the integration will let you:

Create and send personalized video messages to leads and contacts from a single workspace
Engage prospects on LinkedIn with candid, face-to-face outreach that stands out in the feed
Use AI-assisted replies to respond instantly to LinkedIn posts, comments, emails, and DMs
Track every interaction inside your CRM so no relationship falls through the cracks
Automate follow-ups so the right video reaches the right person at the right time

Why This Matters

People buy from people. In a world of automated text and templated emails, a short, authentic video cuts through the noise and builds human rapport faster than text alone. By bringing SKOOP's video and relationship-building tools inside 1stContact.ai, we're making it effortless for sales, support, and marketing teams to connect on a human level — at scale.

About SKOOP

SKOOP was created to solve a real sales, marketing, and communication problem: the rise of spam, automation, and bots on LinkedIn and other platforms has dramatically reduced reply rates. SKOOP lets people know you're real — and that you took the time to send a personalized, personable video. It works seamlessly with LinkedIn, Gmail, Microsoft 365, Instagram, X (Twitter), and most other platforms.

What's Next

The SKOOP integration is currently in development and will roll out to 1stContact.ai plans in the coming weeks. Existing customers will get access automatically — no migration or extra setup required.
