Contact Sources are where a lead originally comes from. There are 3 types: Form Registration, Lead Upload and Direct Message. You can filter and create scripts using Contact Source, which will help us determine which script to use on which leads.

*Contact Source PLUS Lead Source are what are used to determine which script to apply to which leads

Structurely will ALWAYS determine the contact source for you. The rules for which we define the sources are listed below.

πŸ’‘ ❗ IMPORTANT ❗ 

  • Form Registration:
    ​
    A lead who comes in through your CRM, one of your lead providers or your website. These are the Zillow, BoomTown, Facebook leads, etc (see full list of supported lead sources here)

  • Direct Message:
    ​
    A lead who messages you via the Structurely Live Chat, or texts your Structurely phone number directly (not via a form or online registration)

  • Lead Upload:
    ​
    An old or existing lead from a list that was provided to Structurely to upload
