Lead tiers and thresholds

The four tiers, the score bands behind them, and what fires when a lead crosses one.

The four tiers

TierDefault bandReading
Unqualified0 to 29Browsing. No sales action warranted.
MQL (marketing qualified)30 to 54Genuine interest. Worth nurturing.
SAL (sales accepted)55 to 74Worth a human conversation.
SQL (sales qualified)75 to 100Real buying intent. Follow up today.

Thresholds are per chatbot. Raise them if your list is full of leads that do not convert; lower them if your team has capacity for more.

These are the exact values in the API. The tier values sent in webhooks and returned by the API are unqualified, mql, sal and sql. Match on those strings rather than on labels like "hot".

What happens on a transition

A tier change is the event worth acting on, so it is the one that fans out:

  • The lead moves tier in your Leads list and in Analytics → Qualification funnel.
  • A tier_transition webhook fires, carrying the old tier, new tier, composite score and behavioural score.
  • Email notification goes to the recipients configured for that chatbot, if qualified-lead emails are on.
  • Operators watching the Support inbox see the lead surface as qualified.
This is the CRM hook. One webhook on tier_transition filtered to new_tier: "sql" is usually the whole integration most teams need. See Connecting a CRM.
