Lead Assignment
You may want to still assign leads through Real Geeks so that the property update emails from Real Geeks come from the assigned agent.
To do this, login to the settings screen of each individual agent in Real Geeks and input their Follow Up Boss lead routing email address (according to the same steps above).
Make sure for each lead, only one email is sent to FUB (not one from the agent's settings and one from the account owner's settings).
Please note that only saved properties, registrations, and returns to websites are logged in to Follow Up Boss. Property views, for example, do not sync over.
What information syncs over with the API integration?
- Contact form information
- Past lead information (this is limited): Any lead previously brought in via the FUB email parser or Pixel will have their properties information/history brought over.
- Lead assignment. If you reassign a lead in Follow Up Boss, it will reassign in Real Geeks (as long as the agent is listed as a user in Real Geeks) and vice versa
- Notes: Notes made in Real Geeks will sync over to Follow Up Boss
- Property information:
- Property inquiry
- Property views
- Property saved
- Property shared
- Search performed
- Search saved
- Valuation inquiry
- Tour requested
- MLS number
- Tags
What limitations come with this integration?
- Ponds: This integration does not support Ponds. If a lead in FUB is assigned to a Pond, that information will not sync over to Real Geeks. If a lead is reassigned to a Pond in FUB, the agent assignment is not updated in Real Geeks. The agent previously assigned to the lead will continue to be the assigned agent in Real Geeks. Once an agent claims a lead from the Pond in Follow Up Boss, Real Geeks will then update this assignment (this can take up to 10 minutes, so hang tight!).
- Lead Assignment: The user within Real Geeks needs to match with a user in Follow Up Boss (name and email address) or else the lead assignment will not sync over
- Only leads registering on your Real Geeks website will sync over to Follow Up Boss. If you have integrations within Real Geeks (Zapier, Facebook, etc...), those leads will not sync over.
