Lead Posting Responses

Most boberdoo clients utilize the standard short response. The default short response is returned in XML format and can include 3 possible values: status, lead_id and error. The status tells you whether the lead posted correctly and found a buyer. The lead_id returns the unique ID assigned to each successful lead. The error field specifies the issue upon a failed submission.

In cases where clients don't want vendors to know whether a buyer was found, we can enable the success/error response which simply indicates whether the lead was posted correctly. This setting can be enabled at the source level by enabling Success/Error Response.

When a lead fails to match any buyer, you can dynamically adjust the confirmation page. Send matched leads to your standard thank you page, and unmatched leads to a page informing them that no partner was found. The unmatched page could include useful links or affiliate feeds to assist the lead.

The full response provides the same information as the short response plus a partners field with detailed information about the matching partner. You can also enable a lead_admin_link field that provides a link to the matching partner's boberdoo system login (open a support ticket to enable).

Because the full response includes matching partner information, you can display who the lead can expect to be contacted by on your confirmation page. Note: if you are purchasing and re-selling leads, avoid this option as it will reveal your buyer information to your vendor.

boberdoo's live transfer with data matching allows call center reps to ping or post lead information into the system to determine the best buyers for each live call. This method requires the full response to return information of one or more potential partners.

Response settings are configured at the source level and can be edited on a source by source basis, giving you flexibility to make changes whenever needed.
