Lead intake automation that replies before the lead goes cold
Most SMBs already pay for leads. Slow first contact is what burns the spend—not the ad platform.
Primary search: lead intake automation
The problem
Web forms dump into a shared inbox. SMS leads sit until someone is free. Nobody owns the first reply, so paid and organic inquiries wait hours while a competitor answers in minutes. The CRM is either empty or full of duplicates nobody trusts.
How we ship it
- 01Map every inbound channel (web form, SMS, chat, marketplace) into one canonical lead record
- 02Deduplicate by email/phone, score fit with your criteria (service, zip, budget, urgency)
- 03Create or update the CRM contact, assign an owner, and open a follow-up task
- 04Send an instant acknowledgement (email and/or SMS) with next-step expectations
- 05Escalate untouched leads after your SLA window so nothing dies in a queue
Outcome
Every inquiry becomes a tracked, owned record with a first response in seconds—not hours. Your team only handles qualified, routed work.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a full marketing automation suite?
No. Start with one intake path: form → CRM → instant reply → owner task. Expand channels after that path is reliable.
Will this spam people who already booked?
Sequences include exit conditions. If they reply, book, or opt out, automation stops and hands off to a human.
How is this different from a Zapier template?
Templates skip dedupe, SLA escalation, and your real qualification rules. We wire your criteria, test edge cases, and hand you documentation your team can run.
