- Automatic lead insertion
- Click to call
- Deal closed won posting to FunnelFLARE
- Real time continuous contact imports
- Lead scoring

- etc

 

As [PipelineDeals ](https://1ad.biz/s/Ellq5)forces assignment of a lead to a specific sales person in [PipelineDeals](https://1ad.biz/s/Ellq5), you will require at least one sales person in [PipelineDeals ](https://1ad.biz/s/Ellq5)to have an account in FunnelFLARE.

 

 

**FunnelFLARE Lead Insights for PipelineDeals**

To get the most out of FunnelFLARE and PipelineDeals, your first step should be to install the [FunnelFLARE Lead Insights Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/funnelflare/edgbkmgojnjgheeinddonjamfegmneok).

**The Basics** 

FunnelFLARE is used to market to prospects, nurture leads, and report on marketing/sales results. Not all data from FunnelFLARE should go to [PipelineDeals ](https://1ad.biz/s/Ellq5)... there are many very early stage actions that a prospect may take that are not yet ready for sales engagement. Using Automation, you can determine which prospect activities are ready for PipelineDeals and which are not.  The base case: Data flowing to [PipelineDeals ](https://1ad.biz/s/Ellq5)from FunnelFLARE happens when a prospect does **something **that FunnelFLARE is tracking. For example, a prospect fills out a form, this could create a new deal in PipelineDeals.

If we can make the assumption that marketing 'assumes' a lot of things about a prospect, and that the sales people 'know' what is going on with a prospect, then we can assume that the data in PipelineDeals is 'more accurate' than that in FunnelFLARE. Thus when a contact updates in PipelineDeals, we should tell FunnelFLARE about the contact. 

 

**Note:**Data flowing FROM PipelineDeals to FunnelFLARE is handled automatically using the Import Scheduler (Contacts-Import Scheduler).

 

The import scheduler sets up the connection between PLD to FF. It is not a scheduler ... there is a real-time update from PLD to FF whenever a contact is updated in PLD.
