How it works

Follow these 4 simple steps to start creating Salesforce leads from new customer installations

Mantle logo icon

Customer installed

App connector: Mantle • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This trigger activates the workflow whenever Mantle identifies a new customer installation, capturing the initial event that contains basic customer identification data.

This step automatically monitors Mantle for new customer installations and fires when the "installed" action occurs. It captures essential data like customer ID, email, city, and country code from the installation event.

Retrieve customer info

App connector: Mantle • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This step enriches the basic installation data by fetching complete customer details from Mantle, including company information and contact details needed for lead creation.

This step automatically retrieves full customer details using the customer ID from the trigger. It calls Mantle to fetch comprehensive customer information including name, company, and contact details.

Check for company name

App connector: Filter • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This filter prevents incomplete leads by ensuring only customers with company information proceed to Salesforce, avoiding lead creation errors or incomplete records.

This step evaluates whether the retrieved customer has a company name using the condition `{{mantle_1.customer.company}} is not empty`. Only customers with valid company information pass through to the Salesforce lead creation step. If the company field is empty, the workflow stops here to prevent creating incomplete leads. The filter uses an "and" operator for additional conditions if needed, but currently only checks for company presence.

Create Saleforce lead

App connector: Salesforce • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: This step converts qualified customer data into actionable Salesforce leads, automatically populating lead fields with customer information for your sales team to follow up.

This step creates a new lead in Salesforce using the customer data from previous steps. You'll need to configure the lead fields including:

  • First Name (`{{mantle_1.customer.name | split: " " | first}}`),
  • Last Name (`{{mantle_1.customer.name | split: " " | last}}`),
  • Company, (`{{mantle_1.customer.company}}`)
  • Email (`{{mantle.email}}`),
  • Phone (`{{mantle_1.customer.contacts[0].phone}}`),
  • City (`{{mantle.city}}`), and
  • Country (`{{mantle.countryCode}}`)

Optional fields like Lead Source, Status, and Industry can be configured based on your sales process requirements.

Yes, you can add the Owner ID field in the Create Lead step and use filters or lookup tables to assign leads based on location, company size, or other customer attributes from the Mantle data.
