      Lead Stash

      Wondering how to access and store lead data? Check our short guide to the Lead Stash settings for more information.

      Lead Stash is an internal data storage system that allows you to store and access lead data.

      To configure Lead Stash settings, go to the System Management > Products section, choose the product, and click the “Settings” button in the “Action” column.

      unnamed-Aug-28-2024-06-36-16-3099-AMOn the Product setup page, go to the “Lead Stash Settings” tab. It contains four sub-tabs: 

      Incoming Leads

      API Access

      Proxy Settings

      Incoming Data Modifiers

      Data Filters

      For preset Products, Lead Stash is usually not configured. If either “Email” or “Phone Number” fields exist in the Product, the system will show you the corresponding message.unnamed (11)-2

      Click the “Enable Lead Stash” button to generate an internal storage system for the corresponding Product.

      Incoming Leads

      The "Incoming Leads" sub-tab allows you to configure the Lead Stash for a Product.

      The Data Lookup Settings block contains the following options:

      • Perform Data Lookup: Select the system behavior when the lead data is found and pulled from the Lead Stash:
        • Disable: When disabled, it won’t allow you to pull data from the lead stash.
        • Store Lead Stash Log Only: Pulls data from the lead stash and displays it in the Lead Info.
        • Fill Empty Lead Data Fields: Pulls the lead data from the lead stash, compares it with the already posted data, and fills in the empty fields.
        • Overwrite Lead Body: Rewrites the lead data with the data pulled from the lead stash.
      • Limit the lookup in Lead Stash within the past: Switch the toggle to enable/disable the input information updating in the Lead Stash within selected timeframes.
        Note: You can set a time when new data will be created at the Lead Stash instead of overwriting the old one.
      • Protect lookup field: Switch the "ON/OFF" toggle to enable or disable the lookup field protection. If enabled, when replacing lead parameters with data from the lead stash (Perform Data Lookup = Overwrite Lead Body), key fields (Email for LMS, Phone for Call Logic products) will not be overwritten.

      The Data Storage Settings block contains the following options:

      • Store lead data in Lead Stash: Select the "Active" option to enable the lead data storing in the Lead Stash.
      • Store lead data in Lead Stash only for these statuses: Select the lead status(es) of the leads (Sold / Reject / Test / New / Fraud Reject / Post Error / Offer Received) to store data in the Lead Stash.

      Click the “Edit” button to configure the proxy. 

      Click the “Delete” button to delete the proxy.

      Data Filters

      The Data Filters tab allows you to set rules that restrict data output from Lead Stash when specific field values do not meet the defined conditions. It displays a list of existing filters with options to add, edit, delete, or reorder them.
