Automatic Lead Capture
Every time someone triggers one of your automations, Lazyspond automatically captures their information and stores it in your dashboard. This gives you a complete record of everyone interested in your offers.
What Gets Captured
When a lead is captured, Lazyspond records:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Username | Their Instagram handle | @sarah_fitness |
| Display Name | Their Instagram display name | Sarah Johnson |
| Keyword Triggered | Which keyword they used | GUIDE |
| Trigger Type | How they triggered it | Story Reply / Comment |
| Timestamp | When they triggered it | March 22, 2024 at 2:30 PM |
| Profile Picture | Their Instagram avatar | (stored permanently) |

Lead Data Storage
How Long Are Leads Stored?

Profile Pictures
Meta frequently expires image URLs, but Lazyspond automatically intercepts and permanently stores avatar thumbnails when a lead is captured. This means:
- You'll always have a profile picture for each lead
- Even if they change their Instagram avatar later, you'll have the original
- Profile pictures are stored securely
Data Privacy
Your lead data is:
- Encrypted in transit and at rest
- Never shared with third parties
- Only accessible to you and your team
- Compliant with Instagram's terms of service

Integrating Leads with Your CRM
Zapier Integration
Automatically send leads to your CRM, email list, or other tools:
- Connect Lazyspond to Zapier
- Create a Zap that sends new leads to your CRM
- Leads automatically sync in real-time
See Zapier Integration for setup.
Make Integration
Similar to Zapier, Make allows you to connect Lazyspond to hundreds of apps:
- Create a Make scenario
- Trigger: New lead in Lazyspond
- Action: Add to your CRM, send email, etc.
See Make Integration for setup.
GoHighLevel Integration
If you use GoHighLevel for CRM and marketing:
- Connect your GoHighLevel account
- Leads automatically sync to your contacts
- Set up automated follow-ups
See GoHighLevel Integration for setup.
Custom Webhook
Send leads to your own backend or custom system:
- Set up a webhook endpoint
- Configure it in Lazyspond
- Receive real-time lead data as JSON
See Webhooks for details.
Lead Limits by Plan
Different plans have different monthly reply limits, which affects how many leads you can capture:
| Plan | Monthly Replies | Typical Leads/Month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 100 | ~50-100 |
| Starter | 500 | ~250-500 |
| Pro | 2,000 | ~1,000-2,000 |
| Premium | 6,000 | ~3,000-6,000 |
One lead can trigger multiple replies (if they interact multiple times), so actual lead count may be lower than reply count.
What Happens When You Hit Your Limit?
When you reach your monthly reply limit:
- Your automations safely pause
- You receive an email notification
- New interactions won't trigger replies
- You can upgrade anytime to resume
Your leads are never lost — they're just not receiving automated replies until you upgrade.
Best Practices
1. Review Leads Regularly
Check your leads dashboard at least weekly to:
- See what's working
- Identify trends
- Plan follow-ups
- Adjust your strategy
2. Follow Up Quickly
Remember: Lead qualification drops 80% if wait times exceed 5 minutes. Follow up with leads as soon as possible.
3. Segment Your Leads
Use tags and filters to organize leads by:
- Interest level
- Product interest
- Engagement level
- Purchase intent
4. Export and Backup
Regularly export your leads as a backup:
- Go to Leads
- Click "Export as CSV"
- Save to your computer
5. Integrate with Your CRM
Don't let leads sit in Lazyspond. Integrate with your CRM to:
- Automatically add leads to your email list
- Trigger follow-up sequences
- Track the full customer journey
Troubleshooting
Leads Not Appearing?
- Check that your automation is active
- Verify you haven't hit your monthly limit
- Wait a few seconds and refresh
- See Troubleshooting
Missing Lead Information?
Some fields may be empty if:
- The user has a private account
- They haven't filled out their profile
- Instagram hasn't synced their data yet
This is normal and doesn't affect lead quality.
Can't Export Leads?
