Add a Lead
Three ways to add a new lead to your Kraya CRM.
How to Add a New Lead into My Kraya CRM
There are three main ways to add a lead into Kraya CRM. Please follow the step-by-step instructions carefully. Even if you're not tech-savvy, these instructions will guide you through everything.
Option 1: Add a Lead Manually via Google Sheet (Most Common)
This option is for clients who were onboarded with a Google Sheet integration. You will have received a shared Google Sheet from the Kraya team.
- Open the Google Sheet shared with you (usually titled "Kraya Lead Sheet" or similar). Make sure you're logged into the same Gmail ID that was given access.
- Fill in the lead's details: Go to the next empty row and enter:
- Full Name: e.g. Rahul Sharma
- Phone Number: Include country code. e.g. +919876543210
- Tag / Label: This determines which follow-up flow starts. e.g. DNP, Validation, Cold, Hot
- Source (Optional): Where the lead came from — e.g. Website, Instagram, Workshop
- Notes (Optional): Any quick notes like "Asked for callback Monday"
- Wait 2–5 minutes. Kraya checks this sheet every few minutes. If the number is valid and WhatsApp-enabled, the follow-up sequence will start.
- Check WhatsApp: The message will go from your registered WhatsApp device, and you can check it in your Sent Messages.
Important: If nothing happens after 10 minutes:
- Check if the number has WhatsApp
- Make sure there are no typos
- Ensure the country code is added (e.g. +91, +971, etc.)
Option 2: Add a Lead via WhatsApp Widget (for Website Leads)
This method applies if Kraya has installed a WhatsApp widget on your website or landing page.
- A visitor clicks on the widget/button and sends a WhatsApp message.
- That message instantly gets added into your Kraya CRM. No action needed from your side.
- You'll see them appear in the "New Leads" or default label view inside your WhatsApp.
- You can now manually change their label (e.g., from "New Lead" to "Interested") inside WhatsApp if needed.
Tip: Ask the Kraya team if you'd like to create different widgets for different campaigns.
Option 3: Add Leads via API or Webhook (Advanced Users)
If you want to connect Kraya to a form, CRM, or another tool, you can use our API or Webhook method.
- Request API/Webhook documentation from the Kraya support team.
- Use tools like Zapier, Pabbly, or native Webhook connectors to push data into the Kraya Google Sheet or endpoint.
- Make sure the phone number is formatted with the country code.
- Set a default tag (e.g., "Website Lead") in the automation so the right sequence gets triggered.
If you're unsure how to do this, ask for setup help or share a Loom video of your form flow — our team will guide you.
