How do I automatically send/connect leads to Salesforce?

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

Step 1: Think about what companies you want to send to Salesforce. You can use these questions to get a clear view of 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 your 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.

Step 4: Under "Action", select the CRM system you've installed in step 1 and determine what you want to do:

• Create new companies - Leadinfo will immediately create a new company within your CRM system.
• Connect with existing companies - Leadinfo will only connect the website visitors to an existing company within your CRM
• Create new or connect with existing companies  - Leadinfo will either create a new company or, if the company already exists, connect the company to the existing company within your CRM. 
  
  
  

 

Step 5: Select who should be the company owner within your CRM system and enable the action. 

Step 6: Make sure you save the trigger by switching the toggle in the top right corner and clicking “Save”.

For example, say we want to create a new company when it is a new lead or connect the company to an existing company within your CRM. By doing so, future website visits will be shared as a note within your CRM system.
