Adding Leads to Campaigns

When creating a campaign, you can add leads through multiple methods: browse existing leads, upload a CSV directly, or manually enter email addresses. All methods support deduplication to prevent sending to the same person twice.

Organizing Leads

Tags

Use tags to categorize and filter leads:

  • Add multiple tags per lead
  • Filter contacts by tag
  • Use tags to target campaigns
  • Bulk add/remove tags

Examples: "decision-maker", "enterprise", "webinar-attendee", "trial-user"

Custom Fields

Create custom fields to store additional data:

Field TypeDescriptionExample

Advanced Filtering

Find specific leads using powerful filters:

  • Text search: Search email, name, company
  • Status: Filter by lead status
  • Score range: Min/max score values
  • Date range: Created or last contacted
  • Tags: Has specific tags
  • Custom fields: Filter by any custom field
  • Source: Where leads came from

Lead Scoring

Lead scoring helps prioritize your outreach by ranking leads based on their attributes and engagement.

Scoring Rules

Create rules that automatically adjust lead scores:

Rule TypeDescriptionExample Points

ACTIVITYBased on email engagement+5 per email opened
ENGAGEMENTBased on interactions+15 if clicked link

Scoring Tiers

Leads are categorized into tiers based on their score (0-100):

  • Cold (0-25): Low engagement, needs nurturing
  • Warm (26-50): Some interest shown
  • Hot (51-75): High engagement, priority follow-up
  • Champion (76-100): Ready to convert

Creating Scoring Rules

  1. Go to Settings → Lead Scoring.
  2. Click "Add Rule".
  3. Choose rule type (Attribute, Activity, Engagement).
  4. Define the condition (field, operator, value).
  5. Set points to award when condition is met.
  6. Optionally set a max points cap.
  7. Save and enable the rule.
