Customize the Lead Type

  • (D) Lead Type - Enter the name of the new, custom Lead Type. After saving your work, this Lead Type will appear in the list of active Lead Types and be available for selection on Lead Cards. One example of how some clients use custom lead types is to differentiate between Web Reservations from Agent Reservations. This allows you to assign a different

    follow

    Follow-up workflow depending on where the Reservation was generated.

  • (E) Workflow

    Rule dropdown

    Rule - As a default, all Lead Types are set to follow the workflow set at the location level (Location Default). If you would like this Lead Type to use a different follow-up workflow, click the dropdown to assign the workflow. For more information on workflows, click here.

  • (F) Management Software

    dropdown

    - Click this dropdown to select your Property Management Software (PMS).

  • (G) Transmission

    Type dropdown

    Type - Based on the PMS selected, you will be able to select from a unique list of available transmission types (Inquiry, Reservation, etc). The transmission type dictates how the Lead is saved in your PMS.

    it is sent at all, to your PMS.

     
    Note: Depending on your PMS, you may see an option of None

    from the available options. Selecting this transmission type allows you to save a Lead

    which means the Lead Type will be saved in CallPotential but not

    transmit the Lead to your PMS. You will be unable to move a Lead in with this

    transmitted/saved in your PMS. This is an option if your PMS does not allow you to save Leads selecting a unit size that has no availability.

  • (H) CallPotential Default - There can only be one Default set for each transmission type (Inquiry, Reservation, etc). When Leads are created within CallPotential, they will be assigned the Lead Type that has been set as the default for that transmission type.

    If this box is checked,

    a newly created

    this Lead Type will automatically be

    classified as a specific Lead type. While a user can change the Lead type to something else, this can be useful if a large majority of Leads are typically assigned a specific Lead type. This helps reduce user effort and cut down on errors. This also helps when Leads are sent from your property management software to ensure they are automatically associated with the appropriate Lead type and workflow.
