CRM-to-project transition
Create a protected identity when an opportunity converts into delivery work.
Insightly CRM-to-project protection ✨
Protect Client Contacts Through Insightly Project Handoffs
Let delivery teams communicate after an opportunity becomes a project without automatically giving every project participant the original client email address.
Insightly permissions, workflow automation, and project access remain responsible for CRM data. ProxiedMail adds a custom routable identity layer.

The protected email path
Let the team use the relationship without exposing the original address
The protected identity becomes the employee-facing destination. ProxiedMail translates and routes messages while the real contact remains in an authorized system.
- 1Authorized sourceReal contact held with appropriate CRM or system access
- 2Masked identitydell-10452@company.com is mapped to the customer
- 3Employee workflowStaff use the protected address from corporate email
- 4Controlled routingSender authorization and routing rules are applied
- 5Normal customer emailThe customer sees the configured company sender identity
Company sender identity is a deployment outcome, not a one-click promise
Preserving manager@company.com as the visible sender may require company-domain DNS, sender authorization, inbound rewriting, and mail-provider routing. ProxiedMail confirms these requirements for each deployment. Customer replies are then routed back through the configured authorization workflow.
The Insightly access problem
The opportunity-to-project handoff changes who needs customer access
Insightly connects contacts, organizations, opportunities, and projects. Sales may need full relationship data, while a broader project team often needs only enough access to deliver and communicate.
Project-team boundaries
Give project staff a working address without exposing every underlying relationship detail.
Delivery reassignment
Move communication authorization as project managers and resources change.
Direct answers for CRM teams
How to protect contact email in Insightly
These are the practical access, masking, and communication questions this workflow is designed to address.
insightly hide contact email
Insightly can retain the original email for authorized sales users while project teams receive a protected identity at handoff. API or workflow events can create and update the mapping as project assignments change.
insightly restrict client contact visibility
Use Insightly permissions for CRM and project visibility, then use ProxiedMail authorization for the communication path. Existing notes, activities, exports, and historical emails are not rewritten.
How ProxiedMail can work with Insightly
The implementation is scoped around your CRM, email provider, access model, and company-domain routing requirements.
Step 1
Define the conversion event
Choose the opportunity stage, project creation, owner change, or workflow condition that begins protected access.
Step 2
Create the project-facing identity
Use Insightly’s API or workflow webhook to request a ProxiedMail mapping tied to the contact and project.
Step 3
Manage the delivery team
Authorize current project participants and revoke or reassign access when staffing and project status change.
Operational benefits
Protect contacts without replacing the way your team works
Bulk contact masking
Create protected identities for selected contact sets through the REST API or a controlled migration.
Company-domain identity
Use a company-owned domain or dedicated subdomain so the protected address fits your business identity.
Outlook and Gmail workflows
Keep employees in familiar corporate email clients when the provider and routing design support the deployment.
Two-way communication
Route employee messages to the real customer and return replies through the configured protected workflow.
Revocable team access
Reassign or disable routes when an employee, contractor, owner, or account team changes.
API-driven automation
Connect record, lifecycle, assignment, and offboarding events through REST APIs and webhooks.
Reduced contact exposure
Give routine users a usable communication route without unnecessarily exposing the original address.
No mandatory new inbox
Add a routing layer without requiring the whole team to migrate to another email application.
Custom integration approach
Join Insightly workflow events to ProxiedMail mappings
Insightly provides a REST API for contacts, organizations, opportunities, projects, and other objects. Its workflow automation can send webhooks when defined criteria are met. A custom service can turn those events into protected identity and authorization updates.
- Retain Insightly contact, organization, opportunity, and project IDs with each mapping.
- Write the protected address to a field visible to the delivery team or provide it through an authorized interface.
- Use project status and assignment events to update or disable routing.

Insightly workflows worth protecting
Opportunity conversion

Clear answers
Insightly integration FAQ
Can an Insightly workflow trigger masking?
Yes. Insightly documents workflow webhooks and a REST API. The relevant plan, permissions, event criteria, and integration endpoint must be confirmed.
Does the project team need the original Contact Email?
Not necessarily. A deployment can keep the original in an appropriately restricted CRM context and give the delivery team a separate protected identity.
Is a native ProxiedMail Insightly app available?
No native app is claimed. The page describes a custom API and webhook integration.
Can employees email customers without seeing their original addresses?
Yes, when Insightly, the source record, and the email-routing workflow are configured so ordinary employees receive only the protected identity. ProxiedMail does not remove copies exposed elsewhere.
Will customers see ProxiedMail?
In a deployment configured to preserve the company sender identity, the customer sees the authorized employee’s company address rather than a ProxiedMail-branded sender. This requires appropriate sender-domain, DNS, authorization, inbound rewriting, and provider routing configuration.
Can existing contacts be masked in bulk?
Yes. A controlled migration can create mappings through the ProxiedMail API and retain Insightly record identifiers. Batch limits, duplicate handling, failures, and permissions need a migration plan.
Can employees keep using Outlook or Gmail?
Usually, yes. No migration to a separate email client is mandatory, but the customer’s mail provider, sender domain, authentication, routing, and CRM email-capture behavior must support the chosen design.
What happens when an employee leaves?
The offboarding workflow can revoke that sender’s authorization and reassign the protected route. CRM, identity-provider, mailbox, export, and device access must also be removed through the company’s normal controls.
Does this require modifying existing CRM records?
Not always. The protected identity can be stored in a dedicated field, a related object, middleware, or an authorized internal interface. The best option depends on how Insightly identifies contacts and drives automation.
Is the integration already available?
This page does not claim a native or official Insightly application. ProxiedMail’s email infrastructure, REST API, and webhooks exist today; the CRM connection described here would be custom-scoped and configured.
What happens to existing email history and automations?
Existing Insightly emails, notes, links, project records, exports, and activity history are not rewritten. Earlier copies of original contact data remain governed by Insightly permissions and retention settings.
Does ProxiedMail prevent every kind of client-data leakage?
No. It reduces exposure of real email addresses in the configured workflow. It cannot protect addresses already present in exports, notes, messages, attachments, phone records, spreadsheets, browser history, or other systems.
