Apply lead assignment rules

Applies configured lead assignment rules to a specific lead, automatically routing it to the appropriate owner based on your organization's rules.

Why this helps

Leads waiting in an unassigned queue create gaps where opportunities are missed, especially when team members are busy or inconsistent with manual assignments.

  • Every new lead is assigned within seconds of creation
  • Respect your organization's territory and skill-based routing rules
  • Prevent leads from sitting unassigned
  • Reduce cognitive load of tracking who needs assignment
  • Ensure consistent lead distribution across team

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Verify your Hubspot and Salesforce are connected in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation asking: 'When a contact is created in Hubspot, apply Salesforce assignment rules.'
  • 3Set the trigger to 'Contact Created.'
  • 4Choose your notification channel.
  • 5Test by creating a contact in Hubspot and verify assignment happened in Salesforce moments later.

Questions about this workflow

What if Salesforce assignment rules don't find a matching owner?

You can configure a fallback owner or queue. Tell Notis: 'If no rule matches, assign to the sales manager' or similar.

Do assignment rules respect my Salesforce setup?

Yes, completely. Notis uses your existing assignment rules exactly as they're configured in Salesforce.

Can I exclude certain types of contacts from assignment?

Absolutely. Tell Notis: 'Skip assignment for competitors' or 'Only assign B2B leads.' It filters before applying rules.
