In this guide, we'll walk you through the things required for importing leads from Follow Up Boss (FUB) and the steps to troubleshoot if a lead fails to import

Lead import rules

If you're facing issues with lead imports, the first step is to confirm if the lead meets the necessary requirements. Here's what you need to check:


Minimum criteria for import

  • Must have an email address

  • The lead's has had activity within the last 30 days

  • If the lead is intended to be imported as a seller, the "Seller" tag must be added

  • Ensure the lead includes the full address, this includes the postal code, city, and address

Note: These requirement can be bypassed if the lead is tagged with "hot prospect" or "BrokerBlocks."

Why a lead isn't importing

  • No email or source ID

  • Leads staged as Closed, Cold, bad, or Nurture

  • Leads with no activity in the last 30 days won't be imported

Troubleshooting

If a lead fails to import, follow these steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Log in to Follow Up Boss

  2. Click 'People' in the top left corner of the FUB dashboard
    ​

  3. Search for the specific lead you want to check

Check the leads stage and tags

  • Open the lead to view detailed information

  • Check for any missing lead requirements

  • Look under the "Details" section to view assigned stage and tags

Adding or Modifying Tags
