Set up Automatic Nightly Lead Exports

Important:

Administrative permission is required to access the ZiftONE Settings. For more information, contact your supplier's point of contact.

Overview

If your organization uses a CRM that is not supported out of the box by ZiftONE, you can set up an automated Nightly Lead Export to pull data from your partner portal and import it into your CRM.

The Nightly Lead Export automatically sends identified recipients an email each night to notify them that a CSV file with the daily lead list is available in their My Downloads area of the partner portal. The file lists leads that exceed the specified lead-score threshold and that had some sort of marketing activity on the previous day. 

The CSV file includes this information for each lead:

  • Standard lead contact information, such as email address, first name, last name, company, and phone number.
  • Any custom lead fields, such as the product of interest.
  • A list of the marketing events for that lead in JSON format. This includes the type, date/time, and description of the event.

    Here is an example of the JSON formatted string for marketing events:

    [{"Type":"Email Open","Description":"Email 'EP-ADSD-NA-Nurture1-Dynamic' was opened. Click <a href='http://www.sampleemails.org/marketing-email-sample.html' target='_blank'>here<\/a> to view the email.","Date":"6/6/12 6:05 PM"},{"Type":"Website View","Description":"Viewed website '<a href='http://www.molex.com' target='_blank'>http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx<\/a>'.","Date":"4... 6:09 PM"},{"Type":"Website View","Description":"Viewed website '<a href='http://www.molex.com' target='_blank'>http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx<\/a>'.","Date":"4... 6:09 PM"},{"Type":"Email Open","Description":"Email 'Eloqua Lead Campaign' was opened. Click <a href='http://www.sampleemails.org/marketing-email-sample.html' target='_blank'>here<\/a> to view the email.","Date":"4/16/12 5:21 PM"}]

The list can be easily imported into your CRM using its standard lead or data import capabilities.
