Lead Distribution Settings

Enable automatic lead distribution

When turned on leads will be automatically distributed using Assignment Rules only. This feature is separate and independent from any other lead distribution features (i.e. the "Distribute Lead" action in Automation) in Lead Liaison.  If a lead cannot be distributed then the lead will be sent to the Hopper.

1. Distribute leads that demonstrate this many buy signals. Buy Signals are specified in the adjacent tab called "Buy Signals". When the defined threshold value is hit the lead will be distributed.  
2. Distribute leads that demonstrate specific buy signals. When the user selected Buy Signals are executed the lead will be distributed. Please reference the section on Buy Signals for more information.

Uses Assignment Rules only. Assignment Rules can be connected to Distribution Rules for more sophisticated lead distribution policies. 

New leads created from any source (imported as an email marketing contact list, web tracking, etc.) that do not have a Lead Owner will be assigned to this user. Includes the option to "All prospects" or only "Known prospects" (when an email address is available).

Limits the amount of time within a 24 hour period that a user's status can be set to "Available". The value in the field can be any whole number from 1 to 23, representing the number of hours in a day. When the switch is turned on a drop down appears with two radio buttons, All and Custom along with a Default time zone and Use time zone setting.

When selecting custom you can choose which days of the week you'd like this limitation to apply.

The Default time zone is the time zone that will be used by default when the "Company-wide using default" radio button is selected.

The Use time zone setting allows you to choose the time zone used for this feature. Choosing the first option, "Company-wide using default" sets the availability limit for each user according to the Default time zone selection. Choosing the second option, "Per user according to user's default time zone" sets the availability limit for each user according to the user's time zone selection as specified in their profile.

When this setting is enabled, two things will occur:

1. User's status will be set to unavailable.
2. User's will not be able to receive distributed leads through the Distribute Lead action as long as the "Do not skip recipients who are unavailable" setting on the Distribution Rule remains unchecked.

Once a user has been available for a period of time after the maximum hours setting their Available status (on the Personal Settings section) will be set to No and greyed out as shown below.
