Issue 1:
I handle the webleads for all three campuses of the school where I work.
Currently I'm using rules to have leads forwarded to admissions reps based on
our key ten area codes, but this isn't as effective as we'd like. It looks
like we have to start using ZIP codes, but there are about 140 of those and I
wonder if my current method (using Rules to distribute based on area codes
given by prospects) can work with such a large data pool).
Issue 2:
I'm tempted to just try it, but as it is, of the 9 rules required to keep
things running smoothly, only 8 are working. The 9th gives me a message that
there are either a) too many rules, or b) something is out of the parameters.
Neither of these makes sense since a) this batch of rules was created after
removing far more that were in Outlook, and b) the rule which doesn't work is
a direct copy of another rule, but with a different recipient and different
area codes. I'm nervous that by deactivating any of the current rules to
test the new one I may not be able to reactivate it if needed.
Final Question: Is the Rules feature the best way to accomplish this task?
We're really not equipped to do it server-side, so Outlook is our only
current means.
