Among selected sellers
Pluga distributes leads only among the sellers you select inside the automation.
💡 Perfect for routing leads from a specific campaign to reps trained for that particular offer.
To a single seller
Pluga always assigns all leads from that automation to the same seller.
💡Ideal for highly specialized or dedicated sales handling.

Combine with other Pluga features
Round robin becomes even more powerful when paired with other Pluga features:
Conditional Filters
Set extra rules, like “only send leads with a budget above $500″.
Pluga Formatter
Adjust text, remove characters, fix numbers, or format dates before sending leads to the CRM.
Multi-action
After assigning the lead, update spreadsheets, send team notifications, record metrics, and more.
Practical example
Let’s say your company generates dozens of leads per day through forms, WhatsApp, and landing pages.
With Pluga’s Round robin, the process works like this:
1️⃣ The lead arrives from the source, such as Typeform, Facebook Lead Ads, or HubSpot Forms.
2️⃣Pluga assigns the seller based on the selected distribution mode.
3️⃣The lead is automatically created in the CRM, already with the correct owner assigned.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Round robin is a feature that automatically distributes new leads among sellers registered in your CRM. It eliminates manual assignment, ensures fair distribution, and allows you to customize who receives each type of opportunity.
When a lead arrives from any integrated source, such as a form or an ad, Pluga assigns it according to the selected mode: among all sellers, among specific sellers, or always to the same seller. The lead is then created in the CRM with the assigned owner.
Assigning among all sellers is ideal for generalist teams. Assigning among selected sellers works well for specific campaigns or offers. Assigning to a single seller is best for highly specialized or dedicated handling.
You can combine Round robin with Conditional Filters, using rules such as minimum budget, company size, or city. It also works with Pluga Formatter, which standardizes data before sending it to the CRM, and with Multi-action, allowing the same automation to update spreadsheets, send alerts, and more. This creates complete, fully automated workflows.
