NEVER MISS A LEAD AGAIN: AUTO-ADD LEADS FROM EMAIL
You get a Yelp notification at 2pm. You're scrubbing a bathroom. By 6pm you've forgotten it existed. That's a $200 job gone — not because you didn't want it, but because you never saw it in time.
NagLead Pro solves this with auto-add: forward your lead emails and they turn into leads automatically. No manual entry. No "I'll add it later." The lead exists in your inbox before you even know about it.
HOW IT WORKS
When you upgrade to Pro, you get a dedicated email address like:
leads+brave-falcon@naglead.comSet up a forwarding rule in your email (one-time, takes 2 minutes), and every lead notification that hits your inbox automatically gets forwarded to NagLead. Here's what happens next:
- Email arrives — Yelp notification, Thumbtack alert, website contact form, or any lead source
- AI reads it— extracts the customer's name, phone number, email, and what they need
- Lead appears— shows up in your NagLead inbox in "Reply Now" with all the details ready to go
- Nagging starts — the escalating reminders begin immediately, even if you're on a job
You don't touch anything. The lead goes from "email you haven't read" to "nagging you to call back" in seconds.
WHAT THE AI EXTRACTS
Most lead emails are messy. Yelp wraps the customer's info in marketing HTML. Thumbtack buries the phone number three paragraphs down. Website forms have different field names every time.
NagLead's AI reads through all of that and pulls out what matters:
It even prioritizes the location in the description — so you can see at a glance whether the job is in your service area before you call.
WHICH EMAIL SOURCES WORK?
Anything that sends you an email when a lead comes in:
- Yelp — "New customer request" notifications
- Thumbtack — new job alerts
- Google Local Services — LSA lead notifications
- HomeAdvisor / Angi — lead emails
- Website contact forms — any form that emails you
- Facebook messages — if you have email notifications on
- Manual forwards — forward any email and AI will parse it
If it ends up in your inbox and contains a customer's info, NagLead can turn it into a lead.
SETTING IT UP (2 MINUTES)
NagLead shows setup guides for each email provider right in the settings. Here's the gist for Gmail — the most common:
- Open Gmail Settings → Forwarding
- Add your NagLead address as a forwarding destination
- Verify (Gmail sends a confirmation code)
- Create a filter for your lead sources (e.g. "from Yelp") and set it to forward
That's it. Once set up, it runs forever. No maintenance, no checking, no "I'll add it later."
WHY THIS MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK
The #1 reason service businesses lose leads isn't bad marketing — it's slow follow-up. And the #1 reason for slow follow-up isn't laziness — it's not knowing the lead exists until it's too late.
Email auto-add removes the gap between "lead comes in" and "you know about it." The lead is in your NagLead inbox, nagging you, before you even check your email.
A study from MIT found that responding within 5 minutes makes you 21x more likely to win the job. Auto-add doesn't make you respond in 5 minutes — but it makes sure you know about the lead in 5 seconds.
WHAT IT COSTS
Auto-add is included in NagLead Pro — $10/month or $89/year. No per-email fees, no limits on how many leads you auto-add.
The AI parsing costs us about a tenth of a cent per email. We don't pass that on to you.
