Lead Score Category Set Up

In Gator Mail you are able to set up a lead score category to associate to specific emails & links - this is so that you are able to report on email engagement.

An example of categories you could set up:


  1. Newsletter Category
  2. Events Category
  3. Content Downloads

In this article we will be showing you how to set up the lead score categories.

  1. Add new lead score category
  2. Enter in name of category and description

  2. Default Score Values - these are the scoring values that will get added to the contact's lead score when an action has been completed
    • Open Score - This is when the contact opens the email
    • Web Hit Score - This is when the contact clicks on an external web link in the email
    • Landing Page Hit Score - This is when the contact clicks on a campaign landing page in the email
    • Article Hit Score - This is when the contact clicks on a Gator Mail article block link in the email
    • Survey Hit Score - This is when the contact clicks on a Traditional Survey link in the email (Not GatorSurvey)

      NOTE: Article Hits can only be used if you are using the GatorMail editor, they DO NOT apply for GatorCreator emails.

Once the Lead Score Category has been created repeat the steps if you wish to create more than one category.

After the categories have been created you then need to assign the category to your email and email links.
