Lead mining
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Lead mining is a feature that allows CRM users to generate new leads directly into their Odoo
|
|
database. To ensure lead qualification, lead mining output is determined by a variety of filtering
|
|
criteria, such as the country, the company size, and the industry.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
To get started, go to :menuselection:`CRM --> Configuration --> Settings` and activate
|
|
:guilabel:`Lead Mining`.

|
|
|
After the :guilabel:`Lead Mining` setting is activated, a new button called :guilabel:`Generate
|
|
Leads` is available to use in the :guilabel:`CRM` pipeline. Lead mining requests are also available
