How do I set up lead alerts and start receiving notifications for new leads?

In this article you will learn how to set up Lead alerts from the Leads & Referrals section of the Real Estate Bees dashboard.

Lead alerts are used to set up email and SMS text notifications of leads that become available for sale in the “Lead Marketplace”.
Please note that the Lead alerts section is not meant to be used for any other type of notifications except for new incoming leads.  

Below is a step-by-step video tutorial that walks you through how to set up lead alerts:




To create a Lead alert, follow these simple steps:

1) Log in to your Real Estate Bees account using your email address and password.

2) Click the "Buy leads" tab on the left-hand side navigation within the Leads & Referrals section and then click the "Leads alerts"  option.


3) At this time you can watch the Video available in the dashboard explaining how to set up Lead alerts, or click the "Create Lead Alert" button to get started.
    
                                                                                   



4) After clicking the "Create Lead Alert" button, you must select the Lead Type you wish to receive lead notifications for. 

A Lead alert can only be created for one Lead type at a time.  If you wish to receive notifications for multiple Lead types, you will need to create additional Lead alerts.
