You don’t want to receive spammy leads like the one above and we don’t want that for you either. Thus the automated spam filter built into your site that responds similar to your email’s spam filter, watching for phrases, emails, and names that are known to spam folks. However, this system is not perfect and we know spam can be missed and placed in your Open Leads folder. When that happens, you can use the lead manager to move those spammy leads to the appropriate box.
Viewing Your Leads
Step 1: Go to your site’s Dashboard and click “Leads”
Click here to access the Lead Dashboard directly.
Step 2: Click On the Lead You Want to Mark as Spam
New leads will appear in your “Open Leads” tab. Your “Open Leads” will be visible at first glance. These are all leads that are marked internally as “new,” “follow up,” and “pending.” This is where the spammy entry would be if the filter didn’t catch it. Find the entry and click anywhere on the details listed to open the lead.
Mark the Lead as Spam
Step 3: Click the Trash Can, Report it as Spam, and Trash the Lead
Click the trash icon on the top right then select the option to “Report this lead as ‘spam.'” Your site will remember the details of this lead and auto-filter it to spam in the future. Then click the red “Trash Lead” button to finalize it.
You’re Done! A Green Box Appears and That’s It
