# Get alerts for hot leads

Get an email the moment someone's lead score reaches Hot, or start a workflow that calls, tags or follows up with them.

When someone's lead score reaches **Hot**, OneForm can tell your team right away and start a workflow for them. Both happen once per person, the first time they turn Hot.

## The Hot-lead email

OneForm emails your team when a lead becomes Hot, with their score and the reasons for it, and a link to open them on the **Leads** page. It's on unless you turn it off, and it also shows in the bell at the top of OneForm.

To choose who gets it:

1. Go to [Settings → Emails](https://app.oneform.si/settings/emails).
2. Under **Who gets team emails**, in **Alert list**, type the addresses that should get team alerts, separated by commas.
3. Click **Save**.

If the **Alert list** is empty, alerts go to your review team, then to your contact email. To turn the email off, find **Lead became Hot** on the same page and switch it off. See [Emails OneForm sends for you](https://oneform.si/help/emails-and-notifications/emails-oneform-sends-for-you/).

## Start a workflow when a lead turns Hot

A workflow can act on a Hot lead for you: send them to your CRM, post in your team's chat, or email them an offer to book a call.

1. Go to [Workflows](https://app.oneform.si/workflows) and start a new workflow for a form.
2. Pick **Lead becomes Hot** as the trigger.
3. Add the steps you want, such as **Send the lead to HubSpot** or **Send an email**.
4. Click **Turn on**.

The workflow belongs to a form. When someone turns Hot, the workflows of every form they filled in can start, each with their latest answers to that form. Custom workflows depend on your plan. See [Workflow triggers](https://oneform.si/help/workflows/workflow-triggers/).

## When OneForm checks

A score can only go up when something happens, so OneForm checks then:

- when they submit a form,
- when they open one of your emails,
- when they click a link in one.

If you change your scoring and more people are now Hot, their "Lead becomes Hot" workflows start straight away. Their Hot-lead emails wait until their next activity, so a change doesn't flood your inbox.

## Good to know

- **Once per person.** Staying Hot, or dropping to Warm and turning Hot again later, doesn't repeat the email or the workflow.
- **Your thresholds decide.** Hot starts where you set **Hot from** in Settings. See [Set up lead scoring](https://oneform.si/help/responses-and-leads/set-up-lead-scoring/).

## Why didn't I get a Hot-lead email?

- **Their score isn't Hot yet.** Open them on the **Leads** page to see their score and what it's made of.
- **They were already Hot.** The email goes once per person.
- **The email is off, or goes to someone else.** Check **Lead became Hot** and the **Alert list** in [Settings → Emails](https://app.oneform.si/settings/emails).
- **Nothing has happened since you changed the scoring.** The email waits for their next submission, open or click.
