Lead capture
Catch the lead where you meet it.
A fast field-entry app, business cards read from a photo, and Meta lead ads flowing straight in — so a name from an exhibition floor is in the pipeline before you have left the stall.
- Field capture app
- Business-card reading
- Native Meta lead ads
In short
SimplCRM captures leads at the point of contact: a Lead Inbox app for fast entry on the phone, business-card reading that lifts a name, company, phone and email from a photo, and native Meta lead-ad integration that flows Facebook and Instagram form submissions straight into the CRM without Zapier. Every captured lead enters the same pipeline, checked against existing accounts so nobody works the same company twice.
The exhibition-floor inbox
A card photographed, a form filled, an ad submitted — all landing in one place, ready to work.
- Capture
Seconds, not a spreadsheet later
A short form with the fields that matter drops a lead straight into the pipeline, so a name is recorded on the floor rather than transcribed from a card that evening — if it survives the day.
- Business cards
A photo becomes a lead
Point the camera at a card and the name, company, phone and email come back as a lead to confirm. A stack from an event becomes pipeline instead of a rubber band.
- Meta ads
No Zapier in the middle
A Facebook or Instagram lead form connects to SimplCRM directly, so a submission is a lead the moment it is filled — and follow-up happens while it is still warm.
From a name to a worked lead
Why capture in an app rather than a spreadsheet?
Because the spreadsheet is where leads go to be forgotten. A lead captured in the Lead Inbox is in the pipeline immediately, assigned and de-duplicated, so it is worked rather than waiting for someone to import a file on Monday. The friction of capture is what decides whether a lead from a busy event is ever actually followed up.
How does business-card reading work?
You photograph the card and SimplCRM reads the contact details into a draft lead, which you glance at and confirm. It is aimed at the specific, tedious task of turning a conference’s worth of cards into records — the job that otherwise gets done badly at 11pm or not at all.
What makes the Meta integration native?
SimplCRM connects to the Meta lead-ads platform itself, so a workspace links its Facebook and Instagram lead forms without a third-party automation tool between them. One SimplCRM app serves every workspace, the connection is a setting rather than a script, and a submitted form arrives as a lead in real time rather than on a Zapier task delay.
Is a captured lead de-duplicated?
Yes. However it arrives — typed, scanned or from an ad — a new lead is checked against the accounts and leads you already hold, so two salespeople do not unknowingly work the same company. Capture that creates duplicates is capture that creates arguments; catching them at the door avoids both.
FAQ
Questions people ask
What is the Lead Inbox?
A fast capture app for the moment you meet a lead: a short form on the phone that drops a new lead straight into SimplCRM, with the required fields and nothing else, so a name from an exhibition floor is recorded in seconds rather than on the back of a card that gets lost.
Can it read a business card?
Yes. Photograph a card and SimplCRM reads the name, company, phone and email off it into a new lead you confirm, so a stack of cards from an event becomes leads in the pipeline rather than a rubber-banded pile on a desk.
Do Meta lead ads come in automatically?
Yes, natively. A Facebook or Instagram lead form connects straight to SimplCRM without Zapier or a middleman, and a submitted form becomes a lead the moment it is filled, so follow-up happens while the person still remembers filling it in.
What happens to a captured lead next?
It enters the pipeline like any other lead: checked against the accounts you already have so two people do not work the same company, assigned an owner, and worked through the same stages — so capture is the start of the process, not a list that sits in a separate app.
