# Simplifies adding leads

## The problem

- Name, mobile and ZIP alone failed with an address error.
- The error named a missing field, not what to do next.

## What we considered

### A. Button under lead fields {chosen}

- Sits where the lead details end; one clear action.

### B. Lead card with status

- Shows lead status in the form, but adds another card.

## What we went with

- Save as lead saves name, mobile, ZIP, email and tags.
- Add customer now asks for the street and points to Save as lead.
- Pressing Enter in the lead fields saves the lead.

You can add a lead with just a name, mobile number and ZIP. The address and service can be filled in later, when the customer is ready.
