How Update Lead Status works

5 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Read the sent emailRead the sent message and collect external To addresses. Skip messages sent only within your team's domains.
  2. Match recipients to leadsSearch CRM leads by exact email address and mapped rep owner. Mark missing or duplicate matches for the rep to review.
  3. Check first-contact historyCheck whether a first email was already recorded. Set aside older leads without reliable first-email history for the rep to confirm.
  4. Update lead statusRecord first contact and mark follow-up owed under your rules. Move only new leads to your contacted status.
  5. Email addresses needing reviewEmail the rep unresolved addresses with the sent-message link and reason. Include leads whose CRM update failed.

11 tools
Set your rules
  • Connect the participating reps' sent-mail folders and map each mailbox to its rep and CRM owner.
  • Choose the CRM lead fields for first-email time, sent-message ID, lead status, and personal follow-up owed; add fields where needed.
  • Set the internal email domains, the CRM lead statuses that count as new, active, or closed, and the rule that an active lead needs personal follow-up after its first email until a rep marks it done.
  • Set a go-live time. For older leads, fill in known first-email details or send uncertain ones to review rather than assuming a later email is the first.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Update Lead Status:

What happens if an email address matches no lead or several leads?

Your rep gets an email with the address, message link, and reason. They can resolve the match before anyone changes the lead.

Can we choose when a lead needs personal follow-up?

Yes. You set the rule for active leads and choose the CRM field to update. Your rep can clear the follow-up flag when the work is done.

What if a lead was contacted before we turn this on?

You can fill in known first-email details before go-live. Your rep reviews older leads without reliable history before treating a later email as the first.

Will a later-stage lead move back to contacted?

No. Later-stage and closed leads keep their status. You choose how your follow-up rule applies to them.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
