In this article, you will learn how to automatically create leads from your lead sources.

Workiz makes it simple to create and manage new leads (potential jobs) right from the web app. Leads are jobs that may or may not happen, and are best used to schedule quotes. If a lead doesn’t become converted into a job, it will have no impact on your job cancellation rate. This gives you a more accurate picture of how your business is performing when viewing your Job Statistics report in Workiz. 

Workiz also helps you streamline your leads workflow, automatically creating new leads from your lead sources using auto leads.

How it works

When configured correctly, auto leads allows Workiz to automatically:

• Scan an incoming message from your lead source
• Create a new lead that includes the client's name, contact info, and appointment info

Setting up your auto lead rule

In order to automatically create leads from your lead sources, you will need to tell Workiz what information it needs to look out for. 

1. From the navigation bar, select the profile/gear icon > Settings
2. Under General settings, select Auto leads
   
   
3. From the Auto leads settings page, select Add new
4. Create your auto lead rule:
   
   
   1. Rule name
   2. Where leads are coming from
   3. (Optional) Forward messages
   4. (Optional) Auto response
      1. Parsing: Choose how you want to parse your incoming leads
      2. Automatic: Workiz will automatically detect data from your message (e.g., name, phone number, US address, email address)
      3. Custom pattern: Enter the pattern that your leads are typically formatted in
         

         Type # in the custom pattern text box to see what fields Workiz can automatically map to your new leads.

   5. Select Save

Getting your rule to work

After creating your auto leads rule in Workiz, notify or configure your leads provider to begin sending new leads to your Workiz email address.

If a lead comes from one of the external companies you have previously configured on your account, that lead will automatically be assigned to that company, ultimately helping you track the revenue generated from your lead sources.
