Create Lead Intelligence Rules to Run Lead Analysis
Who has access to this feature?
Available on: Elite Plans
Access level: All Users
Lead Analysis uses pre-built AI features to automatically analyze every lead and extract standardized insights like intent, sentiment, topics, keywords, and summaries. Unlike Ask AI rules, where you write custom questions, Lead Analysis applies consistent AI-powered categorization to all your leads, extracting key insights.
How It Works
Lead Analysis rules use the standard Lead Intelligence IF/THEN structure with "Run lead analysis" as the action type. When conditions are met, AI analyzes the lead content and populates multiple analysis fields simultaneously.
Available Analysis Types
When you run Lead Analysis, AI provides:
- Lead Summary: Brief overview of the interaction
- Keyword Detection: Important words or phrases mentioned
- Intent Detection: What the lead wanted to accomplish
- Sentiment Detection: Tone of the conversation (Positive, Negative, Neutral)
- Topic Detection: Main subjects discussed
All these fields populate automatically with a single action, unlike Ask AI, which requires configuring each question individually.
Note: Calls will also include Sales Call Handling fields, such as Sales Agent or Call Handling Score.

Understanding Lead Analysis Results
After Lead Analysis runs, you'll see new Lead Analysis fields (“LA”) populated in Lead Manager:

Lead Summary
A brief paragraph describing what happened during the interaction. Example: "The customer was looking to purchase call tracking services. The agent assisted them with setting up an account."
Keyword Detection
Important terms extracted from the conversation, comma-separated. Example: "buy”, “quote, “appointment”, “service”, “pricing".
Tip Box: You can use detected keywords in reporting to identify trends across leads or create follow-up rules that check for specific terms.
Intent Detection
What the lead wanted to accomplish. Example: "The customer wanted to purchase services" or "The caller was seeking information about pricing options".
Sentiment Detection
The overall tone of the conversation:
- Positive: Friendly, enthusiastic, satisfied
- Negative: Frustrated, upset, dissatisfied
- Neutral: Matter-of-fact, informational
Tip Box: Filter by sentiment in Lead Manager to identify calls that might need immediate attention or follow-up.
Topic Detection
Main subjects discussed, comma-separated. Example: "call tracking, purchase, sign up, pricing plans"
