We will only send data to Close when you have connected a company. You can either connect a company manually or automatically. Follow the below steps to automatically send leads to Close.

Step 1: Think about what companies you want to send to Close. 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?

  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 toy our CRM. 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.

• Create new companies - Leadinfo will immediately create a new company within your CRM system.
