Assign Leads using Round Robin Leads Assignment

Each time you create a new lead, a lead number will be generated automatically. Select the Assign Using Active Assignment Rule checkbox to trigger Round Robin workflow rule and the lead will be assigned to users according to the lead number.



The lead assignment works on the basis of modulo division. For example, if there are three users in your Zoho CRM account, every lead with a lead number whose modulo division is 1 will be assigned to the first user, leads with modulo division value 2 will be assigned to the second user and so on.




Note:
  • If you do not select the Assign Using Active Assignment Rule checkbox while creating a lead, the lead will be assigned to the user who is creating the lead and not based on the round robin method.
  • The last user will always be the super admin of the CRM account. Other users will be numbered in the increasing order of their user ID. For example, if there are three users, the super admin will be the third user.
  • This extension does not work when the leads are imported.
