2 min read

Add a lead by hand, what is refused, and which leads you can edit.

Add a lead yourself when someone gets in touch by phone, email or in person, and correct the details of leads you added.

Overview

This guide goes through the Add Lead form and what happens when you save.

Emails That Can’t Be Added

  • An email that already belongs to a client. Open the client instead.
