The lead flow page is the command center for new web leads, ensuring they are assigned to the correct team members and that the appropriate automation is initiated. Increase your speed to lead by automating your first text and email from the assigned agent. Automations increase speed to lead and help close more deals!
How it Works
How to Add a Lead Source
Automatically
- To add a new lead source, first, confirm that we accept leads from the source.
- Next, search for the lead source setup instructions in our Help Center and complete the integration steps.
- The next lead you receive from the lead source will automatically be added to FUB. Additionally, a lead flow source will be added on the Lead Flow page.
If you do not see integration instructions in our help center for a specific lead source, there is no need to worry! There are several alternate options for sending leads to Follow Up Boss; check them out here.
Manually
A lead source can be added to Follow Up Boss manually to set up distribution and automation rules before the first contact registers on the source's platform. Here are step-by-step instructions for manually adding a Lead Source.
Lead Source Distribution & Automation Setup
For each lead source, determine the distribution, lender, and automation. Once set, they will then be applied to all future new leads from that lead source.
- Distribution: This is the assigned agent or group of agents that will be assigned automatically each time a lead comes in from that source
- Lender: This is the assigned lender or group of lenders that incoming leads will be assigned to automatically
- Automation: This is the automation that will be automatically assigned to incoming leads

Lead Flow Delay
Note: This feature is in beta. Please reach out to support@followupboss.com if you'd like this feature enabled.
This feature allows you to configure specific lead flow sources to delay lead distribution for up to 5 minutes. This allows time for additional events for the same lead to hit Follow Up Boss, which may be crucial for routing the lead correctly. The lead flow delay option can be accessed by navigating to your Lead Flow page in Follow Up Boss > Advanced Settings for a particular lead source > Set Delay.
There are a few options you can choose from when configuring the lead flow delay:
- If you select "Wait X minutes" for more information before routing a new lead, all leads in this lead flow will always be delayed X minutes.
- If you select "Wait up to X minutes for a phone number before routing a lead," we will only wait to route the lead if that lead does not have a phone number. If the lead does not have a phone number in the first event, but a phone number is provided by a subsequent event, then we will route the lead as soon as we have a phone number. If we never receive a phone number, we will route the lead after the specified delay.
