Overview

About the lead handoff automation

A lead is worth the most the minute it arrives. Labelling new intake as a hot lead automatically means sales sees it in their filtered view immediately rather than after a manual sweep.

This template is the built-in Lead handoff to sales recipe in Atlas. Its trigger fires on task creation and its action applies the lead label you choose so the handoff is instant.

Because it is a real automation, the labelling runs on every matching event, so no promising lead waits in an unsorted list.

It labels every newly created task with a hot-lead label you choose, so sales can filter to fresh leads and act on them quickly rather than discovering them late.
Do I need to write any rules?
No. This is a built-in recipe you install with one click. You only choose the lead label; the trigger and action are set for you.
