Lead Routing

Every lead lands with the right rep — automatically

Rule-based routing assigns each new lead to an owner the instant it arrives: by territory, by round-robin, or by rules you set. Speed-to-lead stops depending on who happens to be watching the inbox.

Part of Lead Qualificationthe stage that scores, grades, and routes every lead so reps work the right ones first.See the full stage

Assigned in seconds, not the next morning

The moment a form, import, or inbound lead lands, routing picks an owner and notifies them. The first-responder advantage stops slipping away to whoever logs in first.

Fair by design, not by who shouts loudest

Round-robin spreads leads evenly across a team, while territory rules keep the right accounts with the right people — so nobody cherry-picks and nobody gets buried.

Rules that match how you actually sell

Route by region, source, company size, or any field on the lead. Set the conditions once and every new lead follows them — without a manager playing traffic cop.

How it works

Every part, explained.

1

A lead arrives

From a form, an embedded or inbound capture, a CSV import, or a booking — every entry point feeds the same routing.

2

Rules decide the owner

Routing evaluates your conditions — territory, source, or field values — and round-robins within the matching team to pick a rep.

3

The rep is assigned and alerted

The lead gets an owner on its record and the rep is notified, so they can act while the lead is still warm.

4

Hand-off stays on the timeline

Assignment is logged on the lead's activity timeline, so there's a clear record of who got it and when — no mystery reassignments.

Deep dive

Everything that's in the box.

Round-robin distribution

Spread inbound leads evenly across a team so volume is shared fairly and no one rep becomes the bottleneck.

Territory-based routing

Define territories and route matching leads to the rep or pod that owns them, keeping regional and account ownership intact.

Field-condition rules

Route on any lead attribute — source, country, company size, score — so high-fit leads can take a faster lane.

Routing on booking

Round-robin scheduling sends a booked meeting to the right available rep, so inbound demos land with an owner from the first touch.

Assignment on the timeline

Every routing decision is recorded on the lead's history, so ownership is transparent and auditable.

Works with scoring & grading

Routing reads the same lead score and A–D grade your team uses, so the best-fit leads can route first and fastest.
