How to generate leads from incoming emails?
3+
===========================================
4+
5+
There are several ways for your company to :doc:`generate leads with Odoo CRM <manual>`.
6+
One of them is using your company's generic email address as a trigger
7+
to create a new lead in the system. In Odoo, each one of your sales
8+
teams is linked to its own email address from which prospects can reach
9+
them. For example, if the personal email address of your Direct team is
10+
**direct@mycompany.example.com**, every email sent will automatically create a new
11+
opportunity into the sales team.
12+
13+
Configuration
14+
=============
15+
16+
The first thing you need to do is to configure your **outgoing email
17+
servers** and **incoming email gateway** from the :menuselection:`Settings module --> General Settings`.
18+
19+
Then set up your alias domain from the field shown here below and
20+
click on **Apply**.
21+
22+
.. image:: ./media/emails01.jpg
23+
:align: center
24+
25+
Set up team alias
26+
=================
27+
28+
Go on the Sales module and click on **Dashboard**. You will see that the
29+
activation of your domain alias has generated a default email alias for
30+
your existing sales teams.
31+
32+
.. image:: ./media/emails02.jpg
33+
:align: center
34+
35+
You can easily personalize your sales teams aliases. Click on the More
36+
button from the sales team of your choice, then on **Settings** to access
37+
the sales team form. From the **Email Alias** field, enter your email
38+
alias and click on **Save**. Make sure to allow receiving emails from
39+
everyone.
40+
41+
From there, each email sent to this email address will generate a new
42+
lead into the related sales team.
43+
44+
.. image:: ./media/emails03.jpg
45+
:align: center
46+
47+
Set up catch-all email domain
48+
=============================
49+
50+
Additionally to your sales team aliases, you can also create a generic
51+
email alias (e.g. *contact@* or *info@* ) that will also generate a new
52+
contact in Odoo CRM. Still from the Sales module, go to
53+
:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and set up your catch-all email domain.
54+
55+
.. tip::
56+
57+
You can choose whether the contacts generated from your catch-all email
58+
become leads or opportunities using the radio buttons that you see on the
59+
screenshot here below. Note that, by default, the lead stage is not
60+
activated in Odoo CRM.
