Click the “Users” tab in the left hand sidebar. you can click on an existing user to edit their profile information, or click the red plus to add new users. The user form will pop up on the right side of your screen.

wether editing a user or adding a new one the first step is to add a name, email, mobile number and select a role.

seen in the bottom right are used to determine a users availability and how they will be notified when sent a lead.

In the Add tag field you can add tags to the user. More on tags later

Note: click the green check to save, the grey arrow to revert changes and the red trash can to delete a user

Finally you can set locations by opening the locatrions map

 

 

To add a location for a user open the locations map. Enter an address and select an operating Area Radius.

Users with locations matching a lead will be more likely to receive that lead. 

Change the weighting of the the location in settings

 

Tags and Lead Routing

Tags are a powerful tool to differentiate incoming leads and determine what agents qualify. Visit the tags tab in the left sidebar to begin.

Click on an existing tag to edit or the red plus in the bottom right to add a new tag.

For basic tag functions,  add a tag name and assign the tag to the users you want to receive those leads. 

You can assign tags to users by using the add tag field on the users form, by clicking the “+ ADD TAG TO MULTIPLE AGENTS” button, or click “Apply to all users”

Our intelligent lead parser will search incoming leads for your tag names and give preference to users that match those tags.

Click the green check to save, the grey arrow to revert changes or the red trash can to delete the tag

 

For more complex tag functions you can implement exclusive tags, required tags, and change tag weighting.

Exclusive Tags – Agents must match with at least one Exclusive Tag to be eligible for the lead.

Required Tags – Agents must match ALL required tags to be considered for the lead.

Increasing tag weighting will make matches for that tag more important

Note: Think of Exclusive Tags as “OR” functions and Required Tags as “AND” functions.

  • If a lead comes in with multiple Exclusive Tags, the system identifies agents who match with “Exclusive Tag 1” OR “Exclusive Tag 2”.
  • If a lead comes in with multiple Required Tags, then the system identifies agents who match with “Required Tag 1” AND “Required Tag 2.”

Range tags can be used to identify leads qualities that fall into a specific range, like price range or zip code range. 

Range tags names should begin with “Range: “. to set a tag that should be triggered between $200,000 and $300,000 use the format “Range: $200000-$300000”.

Note the $ should be included to avoid mistaking phone numbers as $ values.

 

The Lead Assign platform offers the capability to adjust agents’ pecking order by adding a “PK” tag. This way, the administrator can configure leads to flow to agents by pecking order, before by keyword.

To set a PK tag use the format PK_#, replacing # with the desired Pecking value. And assign the tag to users of that pecking status.

Higher numbers will be offered leads before lower numbers.

Billable Tags

In some instances you may want to charge the recipient that accepts your leads. The best way to do this is with billable tags

To get started you must first set up a Stripe account. Go to the billing tab in the left sidebar, and click “STRIPE CONNECT”.

Fill out the form with the banking information of the account that will be collecting the funds from these recipients, and connect the account to Lead Assign

Now that you have set up Stripe Connect we are ready to create billable tags!

Go to the “Billable Tags” tab in the left sidebar. click “+ ADD A BILLABLE TAG” select an existing tag from the dropdown and set the cost to accept a lead.

Click the check to save and the x to exit. On existing billable tags, click the pencil to edit and the trash to delete

Common Settings

Adding Leads!

Now that our company is set to our likings its time to start sending leads to our sales team!

There are three ways to add leads. The first and most common is the email endpoint. Yours can be found by visiting the Integrations Tab on the left sidebar, under Email Endpoints.

This email address can be added to forms so leads are posted automatically when a form is submitted. You can also send emails to this address to add leads manually.

 

The Second method is using the “Add New Lead” form. Go to the Leads tab, click the red plus in the bottom corner, and add lead details manually.

Any extra lead fields you want to include can be included in the details section.

To manually add many leads at the same time you can import a CSV at the bottom of the “Add New Lead” form.
