Overview

The favorites alert system sends notifications to users when leads marked as a "favorite" visit your website. It's like a watch list that runs against all your company's leads. Favorite alerts are helpful when you're trying to monitor activity from a hot lead or monitor activity from a company where there's a sales opportunity. It helps raise awareness for your sales team when important leads or companies demonstrate online activity.

How Favorites Work

1. A column called "Favorites" is listed in the Visitors page.
2. Favorites can only be added for known leads.
3. Favorites run on all leads across the organization.
4. A transparent heart appears under the Favorites column of the Visitors page next to all known leads that are not marked as a favorite.
5. A red heart indicates the lead is marked as a favorite.
6. Favorites can be added to an individual or a company.
7. When the individual or company visits your website after the favorite alert is set the user assigned to the favorite receives an alert.
