Creating Saved Searches for your Leads [Classic]

Katherine Ramirez Updated by Katherine Ramirez

This article will walk you through how to create Saved Searches for leads directly through the CRM.

Please note that this ability is only available on our higher subscriptions. If you’re currently not subscribed to one of these packages but are interested in learning more, please visit our packages and pricing page.

What are Saved Searches?

Site Visitors have the ability to save searches on your website and sign up for email notifications based on those searches. The user will receive an initial email featuring the properties that meet the criteria of the saved search, and will continue to receive these notifications based on their saved search settings (daily or weekly from the date they signed up). You can learn more about this process by clicking here.

With the Placester CRM, you also have the ability to set-up saved searches for your leads and/or contacts within the backend of your account.

Navigating to the Placester CRM

You can view and create saved searches for your leads within the Placester CRM. To get to the Placester CRM after logging into your dashboard, you can just click the CRM tab on the top of the page.

Once you’re in the CRM, click on the Lead that you would like to create a saved search for to enter their lead profile.


Creating a Saved Search

When viewing the Lead Profile, click Saved Searches then click +Add Saved Searches.

This will lead you to the Saved Search slide-out screen where you can set-up a saved search for the lead.


For the first step, you will want to give the Saved Search a title in the Search Name field. This title appears at the beginning of the Saved Search email that the lead receives, so you should try to have something there that shows the lead what type of homes they’re getting these daily/weekly notifications for. For example, you could name the search something like, “Montpelier, VT $300,000 - $600,000” or “02139 Homes”.

The Source dropdown menu controls what site the Saved Search comes from and provides the links to the listings in the Saved Search emails that the lead will receive. If you only have one site in your Placester account, you will only have that one option. However, if you have multiple Placester sites within your account, you will need to choose one for the source of the Saved Search.

In the Send Notifications dropdown, you get to choose whether you want the lead to receive daily or weekly email notifications with listings matching this saved search.

Keep in mind that the Default Sort order determines what order the listings come through on the Saved Search email. In our example, we chose “Days on Site (Newest)” so that our lead sees the newest listings in the area first. With that said, you can choose through a couple of different options within the Default Sort dropdown.

Once you've selected your criteria, you can add an optional notification that will display in the email that the lead receives for the Saved Search. This notification will be sent to your lead any time you save or edit the saved search.

After you’ve completed setting up your Saved Search, click on the green “Save” button located at the bottom of the page.

Viewing and Editing Saved Searches

You can view and/or edit your lead’s Saved Searches at any time within the Lead Profile.

Along with Saved Searches that you create for your leads, you can also view any Saved Searches that the lead sets up on their own through this section.
