HomeBuddy integration

Feature Snapshot

Summary:
The HomeBuddy integration connects HomeBuddy lead sources with your ActiveProspect flow, automating the capture, validation, and delivery of leads to your CRM or other downstream systems.

Key Benefits:

• Seamless connection between HomeBuddy data and your existing lead flow
• Automated lead capture and enrichment that minimizes manual intervention
• Improved lead qualification through advanced field mapping and filtering

• Routing high‑quality leads based on custom acceptance criteria and business rules

How the HomeBuddy integration works?

The HomeBuddy integration automatically captures leads submitted via HomeBuddy platforms and injects them into your ActiveProspect flow. Leads are immediately mapped to corresponding fields, enriched with any additional processing (such as acceptance criteria evaluation and filtering), and then delivered to designated recipient steps. This process ensures that only qualified leads progress through your flow, while any issues are flagged for review.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Access Your Flow Editor:
   Log in to your ActiveProspect account and navigate to the flow editor where you want to integrate HomeBuddy.

2. Add a New Source:
   Click the Add to Flow > Sources button and, in the source selection dialog, search for and select the HomeBuddy integration option.

3. Enter Source Details:
   Provide a unique name for the HomeBuddy source (for example, “HomeBuddy – Primary Lead Source”) and verify that the details match your HomeBuddy account settings.

4. Configure Field Mappings:
   Review and include any missing field mappings to ensure that key information (such as phone number, email, and contact details) is accurately captured from HomeBuddy lead submissions.

5. Define Acceptance Criteria:
   Set up rules to validate incoming lead data, such as required fields and quality thresholds, ensuring that only leads meeting your standards proceed further in the flow.

6. Add Filtering Steps (Optional):
   If needed, insert additional filter steps after the source to further qualify leads or block those missing critical information.

7. Configure Delivery Steps:
   Link the HomeBuddy source to your delivery steps (for example, CRM integration or buyer routing) so that validated leads are automatically forwarded to their destination.

8. Save and Test Your Flow:
   Save the flow and submit a test lead (using a dedicated test form or sandbox environment) to confirm that leads are processed correctly and mapped fields appear as expected.

Expected Result:
HomeBuddy leads will appear in your flow event log with correctly mapped data. Leads that pass the acceptance criteria and filters will progress to subsequent delivery steps, while any issues are flagged for review.

Validation & Monitoring (optional)

• Test the Setup: Submit a test lead via HomeBuddy or use a sandbox form to confirm that the lead appears in your flow with all expected data.
• Where to Monitor?: Check the Flow Events dashboard in ActiveProspect, and review lead logs to ensure leads are processed and routed correctly.

Best Practices

• Verify that the field mappings between HomeBuddy and your CRM or downstream systems are accurate to prevent data mismatches.
• Test the integration with sample data in a sandbox environment before deploying live to ensure all acceptance criteria and filters work as intended.
• Document any custom mapping adjustments for future troubleshooting and reference.
