The Leads Inbox is where you can view new leads, manage your leads, and nurture leads as they move through your sales funnel. The Leads Inbox is useful for companies that have a longer selling cycle, or who simply want a designated space to manage their leads before adding them as a Contact within their CRM.
To navigate to your Leads Inbox, first navigate to your CRM, then click the Leads Inbox tab.
You will then land on your main Leads table. From here you can explore the various actions to manage your leads:
- Search for and filter leads
- Visit a lead's profile
- View a lead's status
- Qualifying status
- Lead source
- Special Notes
- Created date
- Assigned to
- Quick action buttons
- Overflow menu

Visit a lead’s profile
Visit a leads profile by clicking their name on the Lead’s table.
View a lead’s status
The Lead Status column will automatically update based on the status of that Lead. The available statuses are:
- New: The New status will be assigned to every new lead that comes into the leads inbox that has not yet been viewed. View a lead by by visiting their lead profile.
- Viewed: The Viewed status will be assigned to any lead who’s profile has been viewed.
- Restored: The Restored status will be assigned to any Archived lead that has been restored to the Leads inbox. Once the Archived lead has been viewed, it will revert back to the Viewed status.
Qualifying Status
The Qualifying Status field lets you quickly identify where each lead stands in the lead vetting process.
By default, all new leads will start with the status set to New. You can manually update the status as leads progress. To edit a status, simply click on the status you want to change, select the new status, and click Save.
