Qualification

Use live data to qualify and branch

A Marketo form submission starts a workflow that checks company size, industry, and the form itself before routing.

Marketo forms

Capture Marketo Forms 2.0, and Marketo still receives every submission.

Rules of Engagement

Send each lead to the right owner or queue on CRM and enrichment data.

Routing

Route Marketo forms by account

Match Record finds the account and its owner before routing, and Rules of Engagement or round robin covers leads with no owner.

Lead to account matching

Find each lead's account and owner by email domain, with tiebreakers.

Calendar on the form

Open the routed rep's calendar on the same page as the form.

Workflows

Run sales and marketing steps together

One workflow enriches, qualifies, and assigns each lead, and the routing results show where every lead went.
