Our beloved ‘Leads’ module has a new name ‘Enquiries’

‘Leads’ module has been given a new and universally recognized label - ‘Enquiries’, to better align with its core purpose of helping admission teams manage and track admissions enquiries.

Capture your ‘Facebook’ enquiries on Illumine now! 🎉

We're excited to introduce a powerful integration between Facebook Ads and Illumine. This integration is live for all customers with access to our Enquiries module.

With this integration, Facebook Ads data seamlessly flows into Illumine, automatically tracking conversions and recording leads generated from Facebook Ads.

To access this feature, navigate to the 'Enquiries' module and discover the new 'Facebook Integration' option.

Once you authorize the Facebook connection and choose relevant forms, Illumine will automatically import all leads data. You can manage follow-ups and tasks for these leads just as you would with other enquiries.

Automated Facebook integration means you no longer have to paste any enquiries name, phone or email or track the follow ups separately. See configuration below

With this, you will see new leads generated from Facebook Ads automatically ported into Illumine, with corresponding ad campaign data.

Illumine facilitates a streamlined process from ad click to lead to admissions:

Lead Ads are automatically imported into Illumine with comprehensive campaign data.

Nurture your enquiries by creating follow-ups and tasks for Facebook leads, similar to other channels.

Connect admissions with Illumine to assess the effectiveness of Facebook as a channel.

Access : Available to all customers with Enquiries Add-on access.

Use Lead Automation to set up rules

Lead automation lets you define rules to perform criteria based actions on enquiries. You can access it from ‘Enquiries’ -> ‘Leads automation’.

An automation rule will use criteria to filter matching enquiries to apply action to. The criteria are available as ‘Field Dependency’ in the ‘Create Automation’ pop up of ‘Leads Automation’ feature.

To get started, think about the tasks you perform frequently in your Enquiries management and write down the steps you take. Then create a rule to have these actions performed automatically for you.

For e.g.

Create a rule to automatically update an enquiry status to ‘Interested’ if the source of lead is ‘Website’. In other words, if a prospect has visited our website, they must be interested in getting to know more about admissions.

You can use your own expertise about your business to choose specific data points and actions that make sense for you.
