Leads

The Leads page shows everyone who has chatted with your AI agent. Each lead includes their contact info, qualification score, and conversation summary.

Lead Scoring Badges

🟡 Warm40–69Interested — some specifics but missing key signals like budget or timeline
🔵 Cold0–39Browsing — vague requirements, no timeline, or disengaged early

For details on how scoring works, see Lead Scoring.

UK Qualification Signals

Each lead card shows four UK-specific signal badges when the agent extracted them:

BadgeValues
ChainChain-free · Single chain · In chain
MortgageCash (proven) · DIP held · Application pending · Exploring
SchemeHelp to Buy · Shared Ownership · First Homes
SDLTFirst-time buyer · Main residence · Second home · Non-resident

These fields are also included in the CSV export.

Conversation Summaries

Each lead gets an AI-generated summary of their conversation. For returning leads (those who chat more than once), the summary is updated to reflect the latest interaction, so you always see the most current context.

Exporting Leads as CSV

CSV export requires a Growth or Scale plan.

On the Leads page, click the Export button in the top-right corner.

A CSV file downloads immediately with all your leads. The file includes:

  • Name, email, phone
  • Lead score and score label
  • Source (web, sms, email)
  • Chain status, mortgage status, buyer scheme, SDLT position
  • Conversation summary
  • Date created

Lead Detail Drawer

Click any row in the lead table to open the Lead Detail Drawer — a side panel with extended information and actions for that lead.

Inline Notes

The Notes field lets you add free-text annotations to a lead — useful for recording context after a phone call or client meeting. Notes are private to your organisation and are not shown to the lead.

  1. Open the lead drawer
  2. Click in the Notes field
  3. Type your note and click Save

Notes are included in the CSV export alongside the conversation summary.

Status Override

By default, a lead's status (Hot/Warm/Cold) is set automatically by the AI. You can override it manually:

  1. Open the lead drawer
  2. Click the Status dropdown
  3. Select Hot, Warm, or Cold

A manual override takes precedence over the AI score until the lead has a new conversation, at which point the AI score may update it again.

Export Single Lead (CSV)

You can export a single lead's full record as a CSV row without exporting the entire leads list:

  1. Open the lead drawer
  2. Click Export
  3. A CSV file downloads with that lead's data
Single lead export requires a Growth or Scale plan.

Erase Lead (GDPR)

The Erase action permanently deletes a lead's personal data from Sift — name, email, phone, conversation transcripts, and extracted fields. This satisfies a right-to-erasure request under UK GDPR.

Erasure is permanent and irreversible. The lead record is replaced with anonymised placeholders. You cannot recover the data after confirmation.

  1. Open the lead drawer
  2. Click Erase Lead
  3. Confirm in the modal — type ERASE and click confirm

After erasure, the row remains in the leads table as an anonymised record (to preserve your lead count metrics) but all personal data is removed.

For more on GDPR compliance, see GDPR and Lead Data.

Filtering and Searching

Use the search bar at the top to filter leads by name, email, or phone number. You can also sort by date or score by clicking the column headers.
