Send Welcome Email

Deliver a custom "welcome" email to engage your leads as they are created with an account in your CRM.
Post-Import Status Review
After completing the import process, it's important to review the results of your import for errors.
We will provide a special spreadsheet that details the leads that were not uploaded, with a message that explains why the lead was rejected during the import process.
Click Results to view the spreadsheet of rejected leads. Use this file to resolve the mistakes, then perform a new import of leads with their corrected information.

User with role 'Agent' not found
The Primary agent assigned to a specific lead is not yet a User in the CRM. Click Here to add your agent to the CRM, then attempt to re-upload your lead
Phone is too short (minimum is 8 characters)
The phone number must be a valid format with a minimum of 8 numbers to dictate an actual phone number.
This error appears when a lead’s phone number is too short in your lead import file
Email Please enter a valid Email
The email added does not follow the standard email format.
Email A lead with that Email already exists
Real Geek's method of preventing duplicate leads in the system.
If you see this message, then the lead has been previously imported with that same email address already.
Confirm if the lead has been uploaded to your CRM first, but these can generally be deleted to prevent duplicate leads in your system
