Enable Agent Permissions Related to Personal Action Plans and Preferred Lenders in 'Action Plan Settings'

Customize agent permissions in Action Plan Settings to allow personal plans, lender preferences, and manual assignment of fully automated action plans.

 

Why This Feature Matters

 

 

  • Grants agents more autonomy to personalize their follow-up strategy

  • Enables lenders to be automatically assigned to leads

  • Improves lead management with micro-level lead routing control

  • Supports scalable automation while maintaining flexibility

 

 


 

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

 

 

1. Complete These Initial Setup Steps

Ensure the following are complete to use action plans properly:

 

  • Enable the Sierra Dialer at the team/account level

  • Connect to the Dialer at the individual user level

  • Connect your email in your User Profile

 

 

2. Navigate to Action Plan Settings

Go to LEADS → Action Plans → Action Plan Settings.

 

3. Enable Agent Permissions

Three toggle options can be enabled in Action Plan Settings:

 


 

🔹 Allow Users to Create Personal Action Plans?

 

  • Enables all non-lender users (Primary Manager, Managers, Agents) to create personal traditional or fully automated action plans

  • Adds a “Lead Routing Settings” option to their profile dropdown

  • Auto-enables permission for agents/lenders to manually assign leads to fully automated action plans

 

 


 

🔹 Allow Users to Select a Preferred Lender?

 

  • Allows non-lender users to auto-assign their preferred lender in lead routing rules

  • Adds “Lead Routing Settings” to their profile dropdown

 

 


 

🔹 Allow Agent and Lender-Level Users to Manually Assign Leads to Fully Automated Action Plans?

 

  • Permits manual assignment of leads to fully automated plans via lead detail pages or in bulk from the dashboard

  • Limit: Max of 50 manual lead assignments per day per account

 

 


 

4. Access Lead Routing Settings (User-Level)

 

  • Users with permissions will see a “Lead Routing Settings” option in their profile dropdown

  • This setting is per-user and separate from account-level routing rules

  • In this view, users can:

     

    • See lead routing rules in which they’re included

    • Edit rules to choose which personal action plan or lender should apply

     

 

 

5. Set Defaults in My Lead Routing Settings

 

  • Users can set default personal plans or lenders for leads routed to them

  • Choose defaults from dropdowns, then click Save Changes

 

 

6. Create Personal Action Plans

Go to LEADS → Action Plans → + New Action Plan

 

  • Choose between Traditional or Fully Automated

  • Select “My Plans” to create personal action plans

  • Options vary based on permission settings:

     

    • Some users will only see “Create Plan”

    • Others can also “Import Sierra Action Plan” or manage account-level plans

     

 

 


 

 

Best Practices

 

 

  • Enable only the necessary permissions to avoid workflow confusion

  • Encourage agents to personalize but review for consistency across the team

  • Use “Lead Routing Settings” to empower agents without overriding account-level strategy

  • Monitor manual assignment limits (50 per day) to avoid disruption

 

 


 

 

Troubleshooting Common Issues

 

 

Issue: Agent doesn’t see “Lead Routing Settings”

Solution: Ensure relevant permissions are enabled in Action Plan Settings

 

Issue: User can’t assign leads to action plans

Solution: Confirm the lead is assigned to them as Buyer Agent, Listing Agent, or Lender, and that the plan is a personal one
