Account Settings > ELM > Preferences
Prior to auto assigning Listing Leads to your agents you must ensure the global auto-assign feature for Listing Leads is turned on in the system.
1. To do this, navigate to Account Settings > ELM > Preferences
2. Under the Listing Lead Auto Assignment section, ensure that the Auto Assign Listing Leads dropdown is set to: Yes
3. Configure your settings as you see fit. Descriptions of each setting can be found below. If you have any questions your Customer Success Manager (CSM) will be happy to assist with this process.
Agents That Can Be Assigned Lisitng Leads:
- If this is set to Any Agent in the Listing Team, any agent with the Auto Assign Listing Leads box checked in their individual account settings will be auto-assigned these leads regardless of any Skilling.
- If this is set to Only Team Agents with Lead skill not only does the agent need to have the Auto Assign Listing Leads box checked under their individual account settings, they also need to be skilled to handle those calls/leads under the Skills tab in their individual account settings. We strongly encourage you to work with your CSM to implement this feature.
Assign Back Log of Unassigned Listing Leads:
- If this is set to ‘Never’ then listing leads received when there are no eligible agents logged in to HUB will remain unassigned and need to be dealt with manually. Oldest First means the backlog of listing leads received when no eligible agents were logged in will be assigned starting with the oldest unassigned Listing Lead, while Newest First will assign the most recent received Listing Leads first.
- If this is set to ‘No’, the next two fields will have no effect.
- IMPORTANT! If this is set to ‘Yes’, any current unassigned Listing Leads will be assigned to eligible agents, even if the unassigned Listing Lead was received prior to enabling this setting. This means if you have dozens or hundreds of current unassigned Listing Leads, they will immediately start getting assigned to eligible agents!
- The default value for this setting is ‘No’.
No Back Log for Agents Logged In For Less Than (minutes):
- No Listing Leads will be assigned to an eligible agent until they have been logged in for the amount of time indicated in this field.
- If this is set to 0, back log leads will start to be assigned to Listing Lead team agents the moment they log in to HUB.
- Non-numeric values in this field are treated as 0.
- The default value for this setting is 0.
After Any Agent Logs In, Assign All Back Log Within (minutes):
- This value represents the maximum amount of time it will take for all unassigned Listing Leads to be assigned to eligible agents.
- It is used to determine a constant rate at which back log Listing Leads are assigned, determined by the initial number of back log Listing Leads when an eligible agent first logs in .
The formula is (# of minutes in this field / # of unassigned Listing Leads = frequency of Listing lead assignment) - For example, if this field is set to 60 minutes, and there are 30 unassigned Listing leads, a Listing Lead will be assigned to an eligible agents every 2 minutes (60min/30Listing Leads=2mins)
- If this is set to zero, all back log leads will immediately be assigned to the first eligible agent to log in (and meet the No Back Log For Agents Logged In For Less Than (minutes) criteria).
If all eligible agents log out before every back log Listing Lead is assigned, the rate will be recalculated the next time an eligible agent logs in. - It is possible that if all eligible agents consistently log out before all back log Listing Leads are assigned, the back log will never be caught up.
- The default value for this setting is 0.
Once you have configured your global settings you will need to turn on auto-assignment for each agent you wish to automatically receive these leads in their individual account settings.

5. Click the pencil icon next to the agent you wish to auto assign Listing Leads to.
