Managing Service Leads

Viewing Service Leads

  1. Open the Service Lead notification drawer by clicking the wrench icon in the sidebar.

  2. Select "View All" at the bottom of the drawer to see the full list of service leads received by your store.

  3. Use the funnel (date filter) icon on the "View All" page to set a date range and view service leads from a specific period, such as the past year.

  4. Service leads are removed from the sidebar when a User clicks “Mark Complete” on the lead details in the activity log of the customer profile.

Integrating Website Service Scheduling Submissions

Website service scheduling leads can flow into DriveCentric if the website provider is configured to send form submissions to the store’s service lead email address. Confirm with the website provider that the service scheduling form is set to email the designated service lead address used by DriveCentric.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Service Alerts Going to the Wrong Person

Service leads can still appear in your view if you have store-level data access, even when they’re assigned to someone else. Assigned service leads should notify the assignee and appear under the Service section (the wrench icon) on the sidebar.
