7. Decide on Deal Creation:
You have the option to auto-generate new deals within the 'Deals' app each time a new lead is integrated. If you wish to auto-generate deals, select 'Yes, Create New Deals' and proceed to the next step. If not, select 'No, Don’t Create New Deals' and skip to step number 9.
8. Specify Deal Pipeline and Stage:
If 'Yes, Create New Deals' is selected, a new menu will load, asking you to choose a Pipeline and the Deal stage for your new lead. After making your choices, proceed to the next step.
Note: Pipelines and Deal Stages need to be created in the 'Deals' app before.
9. Set Sales Rep Distribution:
Select the Sales Representatives from your team that you want to assign to new leads. If you select multiple individuals, the system will alternate lead assignments between them. After this, select a phone number for SMS notifications (to be sent to the reps).
Note: Notifications will only be sent to the reps if you choose the option in the following step.
10. Setting up Email Notifications
The 'From' field displays the name of the sender in the email. You can select the name from the dropdown menu.
In the 'Reply To' field, input the desired email for receiving responses.
The 'Subject' field should contain the topic of your email, like “New Lead from X Campaign,” for instance.
An open text field is provided for the body of your message with no character limit.
Attachments must not exceed a total file size of 20MB, although there's no cap on the number of files, provided the size limit isn't exceeded.
'Personalize' helps you to automatically input lead-associated or team member-related data.
Use the 'Use Template' option to expedite message setup using a predefined template from our Templates app.
After setting up the email notification, validate it by sending a test email. Once satisfied, click 'Continue'.
11. Setting up SMS Notifications
The SMS notification setup is similar to the email process, excluding a Subject field and support for attachments. You can still personalize your message or use an SMS template.
Note: SMS notifications incur charges per credit, where one credit equals 160 characters. Test messages also cost credits.
