Step 2: Set the date range
- Click the date button at the top right, pick a preset or Custom, and click Apply.
Step 3: Read the table

- Leads are sorted by score, highest first. Columns:
- Date Received, Contact Name (click to open the lead), Company and Email Address.
- Score.
- Status: the lead's stage.
- Next Action: the path Pippin chose for the lead.
- Review Status: the state of the lead's latest Review Queue item: Pending, Approved, Edited, Rejected, Superseded or Sent. A dash means the lead has no review item.
- Response Time: time since the lead arrived. Over 1 hour shows in red.
- Last Activity: time since the last message with the lead. Over 2 hours shows in red.
- Needs Attention: an alert icon means the lead arrived more than 1 hour ago and its review item is still pending.
- Click any row to open the lead.
Step 4: Act on flagged leads
- For a lead with the Needs Attention icon, open the Review Queue and approve or reject its pending item. See How to Approve or Reject Items in the Review Queue.
Step 5: Search and export

Verify It Worked
Success criteria:
- The table lists only hot leads that arrived in the range.
- After you approve a flagged item, its Review Status changes and the Needs Attention icon goes away.
Troubleshooting
Common errors
- "No hot leads found for this period.": no hot leads arrived in the range, or none match your search. Fix: widen the date range or clear the search.
Limitations & considerations
