How do I automatically share leads to channels or users?
Step 1: Think about what companies you want to send to Slack. You can use these questions to get a clear view on what companies are interesting for you.
- What company characteristics does an interesting company have?
Do you focus on specific branches or specific sizes? - What kind of behaviour do they need to show?
Think about the number of pages, or what pages an interesting company needs to visit.
Step 2: Based on the questions in step 1 you can start setting up your trigger. Navigate to “Triggers” and create a new trigger.
Step 3: Determine the rules a company needs to meet in order to be sent over to Slack. In the example below we only want to send over companies from the UK, with more than 5 employees and who have visited our pricing page.
Step 4: Under “Action” select Slack and determine what you want to do:
- In what channel or to which users you want to send the message to
- In what language you want to send the message
- How often you'd like to send the message per unique company
Step 5: Make sure you save the trigger by switching the toggle in the top right corner and click “Save”.
