Understanding Life of the Lead

The Life of the Lead is a timeline of interactions between the lead, your website, your marketing communications, and any events or changes made to the record in SharpSpring.

Each icon can be selected to see what event took place, when it happened, and any additional information associated with the event.

Some visits or interactions by the lead, prior to them becoming a known lead, can also be viewed. Events that occurred while a lead was anonymous are denoted as a blue line on the timeline. Events that occurred once a lead has had tracking established are denoted as a green line on the timeline.
