Lead Capture & Routing

Q: How does the system know which rep should get each lead?

The automation applies consistent rules based on territory, product expertise, current workload, and historical conversion rates. This eliminates guesswork and ensures balanced assignment across your team.

Q: Will duplicate leads still be created?

No. The system searches the CRM for matching records by name, email, and company before creating a new contact.

Q: What if a lead is missing information?

The automation enriches incomplete records with company data from public sources, filling in industry, company size, and other details that help score and route the lead accurately.

Q: Can I customize the routing rules for my team?

Yes. You define the routing criteria that matter most to your business, such as territory, product line, or rep specialization.

Every inbound lead reaches the right rep within minutes, with context already attached, so no opportunity slips through a busy inbox.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Lead Submitted via Web Formtrigger

A prospect completes the web form on the company website. The form submission is captured and triggers the automation workflow.

2. Extract and Enrich Lead Data

The automation extracts the lead's name, email, company, and inquiry from the form. It enriches the record with company size, industry, and location data from public sources.

3. Check for Duplicate

The automation searches for an existing contact with the same email or company. If a duplicate is found, it updates the existing record instead of creating a new one.

4. Score and Qualify Lead

The automation evaluates the lead against company criteria such as company size, industry, budget signals, and inquiry type. It assigns a quality score and flags high-priority leads.

5. Route to Best-Fit Rep

The automation assigns the lead to the sales rep with the best match based on territory, product expertise, and current workload. Assignment rules are predefined and consistent.

6. Create Lead Record

The automation creates or updates the contact and lead record with all captured and enriched data, including the assigned rep and quality score.

7. Notify Assigned Rep

The automation sends an instant notification to the assigned rep with the lead name, company, inquiry summary, and a direct link. The rep can begin outreach immediately.
