Capture leads automatically from web forms, email, and phone submissions
Extract and standardize lead data without manual typing

1. Lead Submitted via Form or Emailtrigger
A new lead submits a web form, sends an email inquiry, or is logged from a phone call. The automation is triggered by the form submission or email arrival.
2. Extract Lead Data and Normalize
The automation reads the form submission or email, extracts name, phone, address, property type, and service request, and standardizes the data format.
3. Validate Service Area
The automation checks the lead's address against a list of service areas stored. If the address is outside the service area, the lead is marked ineligible.
4. Is Lead Qualified?
The automation checks if the lead meets service area, property type, and budget criteria. Qualified leads proceed to CRM entry; ineligible leads are logged and archived.
5. Create Lead Record
A qualified lead is automatically created as a new contact with all extracted details, property information, and service request.
6. Assign to Installer and Notify
The automation selects the best available installer based on service area and workload, then sends them a notification with the lead details.
7. Send Welcome Email to Lead
An automated welcome email is sent to the lead confirming receipt of their inquiry and setting expectations for follow-up.
8. Log Interaction and Schedule Follow-up
The automation logs the lead source and interaction timestamp and schedules an automated follow-up task for the assigned installer in 2 days.
Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
Ineligible leads are automatically marked as such in the CRM and archived, so your team can focus on qualified prospects. You can review them later if your service area expands.
