How to set up lead routing rules in WiseFunnel (step-by-step)

Lead routing in WiseFunnel is the engine that decides who receives a lead after someone completes your quiz funnel. Rules fire in order, check conditions against the quiz answers, and push the lead to the matching buyer or workspace.

There are two layers. Conditional routing uses quiz responses to sort leads: a question like "What is your monthly budget?" with a branch below $1,000 can disqualify a lead or send it to a lower-tier buyer automatically.

Profit Room routing, a Scale plan feature, adds multi-buyer distribution. You split a lead pool across three buyers, set volume caps per buyer, and gate access behind signed contracts before a single lead is delivered. This is the feature most agencies actually need once they have more than one buyer per vertical.

You need three things: a quiz funnel with at least one qualifying question that captures the data you want to route on, at least one workspace per buyer, and the buyer's notification email plus an optional webhook URL for their CRM.

The Growth plan includes three workspaces; the Scale plan includes unlimited. On Growth you can route leads to separate client workspaces and configure live client reports per buyer. Profit Room multi-buyer splitting requires the Scale plan at $397/month, or $318/month billed annually.

Open your quiz funnel builder and identify the question that should trigger routing. Common criteria for agency owners:

• Location: zip code or state, so leads go to buyers who serve that area
• Budget: numeric input or multi-choice range; disqualify leads below your buyer's minimum
• Service type: home services verticals like roofing, solar, and HVAC need separate buyers
• Timeline: "When are you looking to buy?" routes urgent leads to premium buyers who pay more per lead

Add a Conditional Logic step after each routing question and set the "if answer equals X, then go to step Y" branch. The disqualification path should end at a dead-end screen, not a live submission.

The 30-minute analytics grace period in WiseFunnel filters bot submissions before they reach your routing engine. You are not routing junk, which matters when buyers see the delivery log.

Each buyer should have their own workspace. This gives them a live client report showing lead volume, source breakdown, and funnel conversion data in real time.

To create a workspace:

1. Go to Workspaces in your WiseFunnel dashboard.
2. Click New Workspace and enter the buyer's name and vertical.
3. Add the buyer's email under Workspace Members for read-only access to their report.
4. Set the custom domain for their report page if you are running white-label.

Plan limits and seat pricing differ:

Inside each workspace, go to Lead Notifications and choose between manual and automatic delivery. Manual notifications hold leads in a review queue so you approve each one before it reaches the buyer. Use this when you are vetting lead quality in a new vertical.

Automatic notifications fire immediately on submission, reaching the buyer's CRM or email within seconds. Set up:

• Email delivery to the buyer's inbox (plain text, no branded wrapper)
• Webhook POST to their GoHighLevel or other CRM endpoint
• Optional Twilio SMS verification to confirm the lead's phone number before delivery

For webhooks, WiseFunnel sends a JSON payload with all quiz fields. Map field names to your buyer's CRM variables once, and every future lead routes in the same format.

If you have two or more buyers in the same vertical, Profit Room handles distribution without manual work. It is a Scale plan feature. Inside Profit Room you set:

• Volume allocation: buyer A gets 60% of leads, buyer B gets 40%
• Monthly cap: buyer A is capped at 300 leads; once hit, overflow goes to buyer B
• Contract gate: a buyer's routing slot only activates after their contract is signed and uploaded inside the workspace

The contract gate is the part most agencies skip and then regret. Routing leads to an unclosed buyer is a liability. Profit Room requires the signed document before a single lead is delivered, which protects you if the relationship falls through.

WiseFunnel does not have a dedicated test mode, but the process is simple:

1. Submit a test entry through your live funnel URL.
2. Use a real email address you control and a phone number you own.
3. Check the workspace delivery log to confirm the lead landed in the right buyer's workspace.
4. Verify the notification email arrived and the webhook payload matched the CRM field mapping.

Do this once per buyer before turning on automatic notifications. It takes ten minutes.

The biggest mistake is routing on a question buyers cannot see. If budget is your routing trigger but the buyer's live report does not show budget data, they cannot verify lead quality, so map routing fields to the client report columns.

The other three come up constantly:

• No disqualification logic: if every submission reaches buyers, satisfaction drops. A basic budget floor question removes 20-30% of low-intent submissions.
• Single workspace for all buyers: sharing one workspace collapses buyer-specific reporting. Create one workspace per buyer from day one.
• Skipping the contract gate: routing to an unsigned buyer is a risk. Use Profit Room's contract gate, or hold leads manually until the contract is signed.

Manual lead forwarding works at two buyers and ten leads a day. It breaks at five buyers and 200 leads a day. Setting up routing rules in WiseFunnel takes under 30 minutes and removes the bottleneck permanently.

The Growth plan covers three workspaces with per-workspace reporting and notification rules. The Scale plan adds Profit Room multi-buyer distribution, volume caps, and contract-gated delivery starting at $397/month ($318/month billed annually).
