How-to Activate the Lead Imports Option

This How-to covers activating the lead imports option in Prevail.

Once configured, the Activate Lead Imports option will continually download leads from one or more of our lead import partners. There are separate lead import settings for each law type in Prevail.

You must first establish an account with one or more of our lead import partners, and they must contact us to complete the import setup. For more information on Prevail lead import partners, visit http://www.prevail.net/partners .
