GeminiWe set up folk for real clients, not just in theory.
Most folk trainings are run by people who read the docs the night before. At Hack'celeration it's the opposite: pipeline structuring, folkX capture, sequences, API wired into Make and n8n, that's our daily agency work. Everything we teach you, we practice on shipped projects. We know the traps (the base imported as a mess, the duplicates that pile up, the pipeline that doesn't match the sales cycle) because we've already solved them.
- We set up folk CRMs for real clients every week, not just in theory
- 1-on-1 format: the trainer adapts to your level, beginner or seasoned sales rep
- We tell you when folk isn't the right call (sometimes Attio or HubSpot fit better at volume)
- We start from your real workspace and your actual contacts, not a dummy example
Four pillars so your folk CRM works for you.
A badly configured folk means duplicate contacts, a pipeline that reflects nothing and forgotten follow-ups. Most of the trouble comes from the config, not the tool. We pick up your real workspace and work through the four pillars together.
- Contacts, groups, pipelines
A clean base, and a pipeline that moves
We structure your data in folk: contacts, custom fields, groups by segment, and pipelines in columns (deal stages) that match your real sales cycle. The classic trap is a CRM where everything ends up dumped in one list. We set up your filtered views, your statuses and your rules so nothing slips through the cracks.
Structure my base - Enrichment and folkX
Capture your leads from LinkedIn in one click
folkX, folk's Chrome extension, grabs a LinkedIn profile (or a web page) and pushes it straight into your CRM, already filled in. We set up the extension, configure automatic enrichment (email, role, company) and avoid duplicates. You stop copy-pasting records by hand that folk can fill on its own.
See folkX and enrichment - Templates, sequences, outreach
Personalized emails, sent at the right moment
We build your templates with variables (first name, company), your multi-step follow-up sequences, and reply tracking right inside folk. You send from your connected inbox (Gmail, Outlook), you see who replied, and you follow up without forgetting anyone. You practice on your real contacts, not a dummy example.
See the outreach - Integrations and API
Plug folk into Make, n8n and your stack
folk has an API and connects to Make, n8n and Zapier. We automate what wastes your time: create a contact from a form, sync with Airtable, alert Slack when a deal changes column. Your contacts update on their own, on the right trigger, with no manual entry.

Drop your email. We get back to you to connect you with a Hack'celeration-certified trainer: we look at your folk workspace, spot what's blocking your pipelines, and tell you where to start. No commitment, even if you don't take the training.
- A diagnosis of your folk workspace (contacts, groups, pipelines)
- The first fixes to make, in priority order
- The right 1-on-1 format for your level and base size
- An honest take: folk or Attio for your case
Your folk program, step by step.
Five steps, no skipping. Each one on your real workspace, with a clear deliverable. From the first session we go after what's blocking your pipelines. By the end, you run your CRM and your follow-ups without us.
- Step 1 · Workspace audit
We open your real folk and spot what's broken
First session, we share your screen and look at your workspace together. Are your contacts full of duplicates? Do your pipelines match your real sales cycle? Are your groups useful or is it a mess? We list the real reasons you lose leads or waste time. You leave with a clear diagnosis and the list of fixes, in priority order. No theory, your real account.
- Step 2 · Base and pipelines first
Clean contacts, useful groups, pipelines that move
We tackle the foundation: the data. We clean up duplicates, set your custom fields, build groups by segment that actually make sense, and build your pipelines in columns mapped to your real process. We set your filtered views so you find a contact in two clicks. By the end, your base is clean and every deal knows which column it lives in.
- Step 3 · Enrichment and outreach
folkX, enrichment, templates and sequences on your real cases
We install folkX and capture your first contacts from LinkedIn, already enriched. Then we build your outreach: templates with variables, multi-step follow-up sequences, reply tracking from your connected inbox. You practice on your own contacts, not a dummy example. You finish with capture that works and follow-ups that go out on their own.
- Step 4 · Integrations and automation
We plug folk into Make and n8n
This is where folk gets powerful. We connect your CRM to Make or n8n through the API: create a contact from a form, sync with Airtable, alert Slack when a deal changes column, follow up if there's no reply after 5 days. We build the workflows together and test them on your real scenarios so nothing breaks in production.
- Step 5 · Autonomy
You run your CRM and your follow-ups without us
The number one goal: you become autonomous. By the end of the program, you know how to structure a base, build a pipeline, capture with folkX, launch a sequence and automate your tasks on Make or n8n. You no longer need an agency to run your CRM. And if you want to delegate later, we also run a folk agency, but that's not the point here.

The questions we get the most.
What is a 1-on-1 folk training?
An individual program with a folk expert, not a class of 100 people. We open your real workspace, look at your config, and work through your actual cases: contacts, pipelines, enrichment, sequences. You ask your questions live, the trainer adapts the pace to your level. We schedule sessions around your availability, and you leave with concrete actions every time. That's what makes the difference when it comes to shaping a CRM around your own sales process.How much does the folk training cost?
There is no single price. We connect you with a trainer certified by Hack'celeration, matched to your need and your level. It varies from one trainer to another, based on their profile and the format that fits your project.folk or Attio: which one to pick?
It depends on your need. folk is lighter and faster to get going, built for relationship management and networking, with folkX to capture from LinkedIn. Attio is more powerful and data-centric, built for teams that want a highly customizable CRM and structured data at scale. If you want a simple CRM that fits your process without the overkill, folk. If you run volume with a real revops team, look at Attio. During the training, we help you decide based on your real case.Can folk be integrated with Make or n8n?
Yes, and it's one of the big parts of the training. folk exposes an API and connects to Make, n8n and Zapier. You can create or update a contact from any trigger: a form response, a new Airtable row, a Stripe payment, a custom webhook. We build full workflows together: data sync, Slack alerts when a deal moves, automatic follow-ups. No code required if you go through Make or n8n.Do I need to be technical to take the folk training?
No, not at all. folk is known precisely for its simple interface: contacts, groups and pipelines are managed by click, no jargon. To go further (API, Make or n8n automations), a bit of logic helps, but the 1-on-1 format is built for that: we start from your exact level. Beginner, we go step by step. Comfortable with tools, we jump straight to enrichment, sequences and the API. You can run folk without ever touching code.What is folkX and what's it for?
folkX is folk's Chrome extension. It captures a LinkedIn profile, a web page or an email signature and creates the contact record straight in your CRM, already filled in. You browse LinkedIn, you click, the contact lands in the right group with their role and company. That's what saves you the manual copy-paste of records. In training, we install folkX, set up automatic enrichment and configure your rules to avoid duplicates.Does folk handle emails and follow-ups?
Yes. folk connects your inbox (Gmail or Outlook) and lets you send personalized emails with variables (first name, company) straight from the CRM. You build multi-step follow-up sequences, you see who opened and replied, and you follow up without forgetting anyone. It's not a high-volume cold email tool like a Lemlist, but for targeted outreach and sales follow-up it's exactly what you need. We set all that up on your real contacts in the training.Can you migrate from another CRM or a spreadsheet to folk?
Yes, and it takes prep. You have to export your base (CSV from HubSpot, Pipedrive, Notion or your Google Sheet), clean up duplicates, map the fields to folk, and rebuild your pipelines and groups. The classic trap: importing a dirty file and ending up with a messy CRM from day one. We've handled several migrations like this, we know the snags. In 1-on-1, we walk through your import step by step and check the data before switching over for good.How long until my folk CRM is up and running?
folk is quick to set up: a clean workspace with contacts, groups and a first pipeline comes together in one or two sessions. Importing and cleaning an existing base takes a bit more depending on volume and the state of the file. Outreach and Make or n8n automations come after, once the foundation is set. We always prioritize the base and pipelines from the first session so you're operational fast, then we scale up.Is the training online or in person?
100% online, over video, 1-on-1. You join the sessions from anywhere, we share your screen and your folk workspace live. Sessions are recorded if you want to revisit them. The individual format means real interaction: you're not a number in a webinar of 100, the trainer answers your questions about your setup. That's what makes learning concrete on a CRM you'll use every day.
