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

- 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:

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 Type | Description | Example Points |
|---|---|---|
| ATTRIBUTE | Based on lead properties | +10 if has company |
| ACTIVITY | Based on email engagement | +5 per email opened |
| ENGAGEMENT | Based 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
