Add a lead by hand
Enter a single lead, or paste a small batch, straight into a pipeline from the dashboard.
Open your pipeline, click the Intake node, then add a lead manually. You get a form built from that pipeline's fields, with required ones marked. Fill it in, click Add lead, and it's ingested like any other lead.
Use it for leads that arrive off-channel: a phone call, an email, a spreadsheet row a supplier sent you late, or a lead you had to correct and want to re-send.
Bulk paste
The Bulk paste tab takes tab- or comma-separated rows pasted straight from a spreadsheet. The first row is the header — its names are matched to your fields. Preview shows what LeadMove parsed before anything is created. 100 rows maximum; for anything bigger use a CSV import.
What happens next
Exactly what happens to a lead posted to your webhook: validation against your fields, deduplication, spam filtering, scoring, then distribution to your buyers. Manual review, if it's on for the pipeline, holds the lead for approval just the same.
Two things to know:
- A duplicate is recorded, not sent. You'll see "Recorded as duplicate (not routed)" — the lead is kept for the trail, never delivered, never billed.
- "Distribute immediately after ingestion" is on by default. Uncheck it and the lead is stored as pending, waiting for you to assign it from the lead page.
Don't use manual entry to test
A manually added lead is a real lead: it counts against your monthly quota, and it will be delivered to a real buyer and billed. To try a payload or check which buyer would win it, use the test console on the pipeline — it previews routing and can email you a sample delivery without ever contacting a buyer.
Common questions
Can I add a lead to a paused pipeline? No. Only active pipelines accept leads, whatever the method. Reactivate the pipeline first.
A required field is empty and I don't have the value. Can I still save it? Not from the form — required fields are enforced before submission. Either fill in a placeholder you'll correct later, or make the field optional in the pipeline's Intake settings.
Where does the lead show up? In the pipeline's lead list, immediately, with the same statuses as every other lead. See lead statuses.
