With Lead Dolphin you have the ability to create leads by emailing them into the website. This is very useful when you maintain your own landing pages for gathering information from leads.


To create a lead, send an email to new-lead@ld.leaddolphin.com in plain text with no additional spacing and do not include any CC or BCC.


If you access your Lead Dolphin account at a different url than ld.leaddolphin.com, then you will use that url in the email address. For example if you access Lead Dolphin at http://mybrand.leaddolphin.com/ you will send emails to new-lead@mybrand.leaddolphin.com instead.


An example email might look like this:

 

api_key|YOUR-API-KEY
club_id|YOUR-ABC-CLUB-ID
first_name|Matthew
last_name|Connerton
street1|1 Main Street
city|Ocala
state|FL
postal_code|34482
cell_phone|555-555-5555
home_phone|555-555-5555
email|matthew@example.com
entry_source|Super Cool Landing Page Campaign
lead_status|Paid Pass
pt_status|Fitness Assessment NOT Scheduled
notes|Random notes about this lead

 

If your Lead Dolphin account is not integrated with ABC Financial, then instead of using the club_id, you will set your ld_id:

 

ld_id|YOUR-LD-CLUB-ID

The entry source is a generic text field we use to add automation to your leads. You can set it to the name of the particular landing page the email is coming from. It doesn't matter what you set it to, but when you do set it, try and make it consistent across your forms such as "[Landing Page Name] Landing Page Campaign".


We can also lock submissions validation to a specific X-Originating-IP mail header so we only accept leads from your servers. If you see an issue with spam, we can enable this.
