#Lead Assignment Rules0 discussing

Hi. I found this article that perfectly describes the issue we are experiencing https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000384839&type=1 When we create a lead in the website and an API is suppose to create a lead, it is assigned, but no email is firing. When I recreate the criteria in the UI, it does. However, reading the article, I do not know where to go to address the issue. I have checked all the other things: DKIM, Deliverability, etc. so I am fairly confident it is the issue that the article descibes.

I created a lead assignment rule that follows this logic:

 

- If a lead has a Pardot Score over a 50 AND they are located in the United States -> Assign it to Salesperson.

- If a lead does NOT meet the criteria above -> Assign it to me

 

My questions is:

 

- if a lead goes through the lead assignment rule and gets assigned to me, and then it later matches the criteria to be assigned to salesperson, how can I set it up so that it reassigns itself to the salesperson when it meets the necessary criteria?

    Hi @Abi Beaty

    You can create a record triggered flow on when the record is created and the record is updated. Set the decision criteria rule  on lead object as - If a lead has a Pardot Score over a 50 AND they are located in the United States -> Assign it to Salesperson.

    - If a lead does NOT meet the criteria above -> Assign it to owner. Save and activate the flow.

Hi trailblazers,

I have a question regarding the lead assignment rules..

How does the queue works when assigning users in lead assignment rules

Is it possible with standard functionality to have a round robin set up with 6 people... but they are split up into 2 teams... 3 people per 2 products. Product 1 leads evenly distributed between 1-3 users and product 2 leads evenly distributed between 4-6 users. Any suggestions on a better way to set up that use case?  Their current set up is not evenly distributing the leads. Thank you!

    Hi Lindsay,

     

    I've done a few lead round robin set ups in the past that worked quite well. I've never split them into groups, but I think that could be done. 

    A few things to note though are:

    - The sales rep who is next in line is assigned as the owner.

    - You should be able to change from a sales rep to a group, to enable you to split the teams. Or you can be more specific about which leads participate in which round robins. 

     

    Here is a link to show you the concept. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi there! There's an issue with my round-robin lead assignment. From what I can see so far it's isolated to Lead Source= Website. Otherwise the leads look like they are being equally routed to our 3 sales reps. Should I modify my Round Robin formula?

 

It's currently:

MOD(VALUE(Lead_Number__c) ,3)+1

    Hi @Nicole Eutsler

    ,

    Can you confirm what happens to the leads that aren't being assigned the way you'd expect - are they being assigned to someone?

    Looking at your Lead Assignment rules, is it possible it's getting picked up by one of the earlier stages?

    If not, then I think we'd need to check every step along the way, so I'd run a report to verify:

    - Every lead record is being assigned an Auto Number (Lead_Number__C)

    - Every lead record is being assigned a Round Robin ID

    Hopefully that report will help identify the issue

Hi all, 

 

Has anyone successfully been able to assign prospects via a salesforce active assignment rule? 

 

My issue: 

 

I put all Pardot prospects immediately in a Salesforce Queue called unqualified prospects.

 

Once they hit a Pardot score of 50, the lead assignment rule runs to reassign them to sales. 

 

However, it never triggers when the score is updated automatically by Pardot e.g. email clicks - only by manually editing the Salesforce Lead record! This means the rule itself works.

 

So I created a auto rule in Pardot to say 'if in Unqualified Queue, and score greater than 50, run the active lead assignment rule.....

 

Still no reassignment, they just sit in the Unqualified Prospects Queue :( 

 

Any ideas would be most welcome. 

 

This would all be so much simpler if we could reassign prospects in Pardot :)

    Salesforce considers queue ownership assignment. So auto assignment rules only run once, if the lead is new and not assigned to anyone, including queues. Once they are in a queue Pardot cannot have any further effect with any of it's assignment commands. If you want to do as you suggest, you're going to have to create a flow in Salesforce to assign it when the score is greater than 50.

Are you Enterprises looking to automated #Lead Distribution System, lead tracking, lead management ?

 

How about a solution which is more than that? How you ask? Automation just makes sure that the manual intervention by the managers is eliminated, but how about I say that you can now increase sales efficiency,  lead closures, revenue growth, avoid business leakages  and focus on growth strategies. Sounds interesting, click on the link below and see it for yourself:

Hi, everyone. This could have been already answered in the thread here but I can't find a way to search through it, so there it goes: what happens w/ automated email sending from a specific Pardot user (via drip programs, engagement studio programs, etc.) to their assigned prospects, if that said Pardot user is suddenly deleted?

    You should re-assign records in Salesforce when a person leaves your account. Pardot will see the re-assignment, and sync to the new assigned user.
