500 Leads

Quick Start

This guide walks you through capturing your first lead. You will create a source, send a test event, and see it appear in your dashboard.

1. Create an account

Section titled “1. Create an account”

Sign up at leads.500rockets.io/app/register. You can use email/password or Google Sign-In.

After signing up, you will be taken through a short onboarding wizard.

2. Create a source

Section titled “2. Create a source”

A source represents where your leads come from. During onboarding (or from the Sources page), click Create Source and give it a name like “Website Form”.

You will receive a webhook URL that looks like this:

https://leads.500rockets.io/api/webhooks/inbound/<your-token>

3. Send a test lead

Section titled “3. Send a test lead”

Open your terminal and send a test request:

Terminal window
curl -X POST https://leads.500rockets.io/api/webhooks/inbound/<your-token> \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "firstName": "Jane",
    "lastName": "Smith",
    "phone": "+1234567890",
    "company": "Acme Corp"
  }'

Replace <your-token> with the token from your source.

4. Check your dashboard

Section titled “4. Check your dashboard”

Go back to your dashboard. Within a few seconds you should see:

  • The lead appear in your Leads list
  • AI scoring and qualification running in the activity feed
  • The lead score updated based on the data provided

5. What happens behind the scenes

Section titled “5. What happens behind the scenes”

When a lead comes in, 500 Leads automatically:

  1. Parses the payload and creates a lead record
  2. Checks for duplicates (matching email or phone)
  3. Runs AI scoring (0-100 based on data completeness and signals)
  4. Qualifies the lead (Hot, Warm, or Cold)
  5. Sends notifications to your team (if configured)
