Multi-path inbound routing

Give every inbound request the right front door.

Identify the inquiry, collect only the context its path needs, and show sales, support, partnership, careers, and general visitors one controlled next step.

Best for: Teams that receive sales, support, partnership, careers, and general inquiries through one front door.

Available on Free. Replace the example questions, policy, outcomes, and destinations before publishing.

Starting routing policy

Inquiry type → relevant context → five deterministic destinations

Captures
Contact context, inquiry type, request details, and sales timing when relevant
Qualifies
Request type, defined respondent outcome, and sales context
Routes
Sales discovery calendar, support request page, partnership confirmation, careers page, or general confirmation

What this flow decides

Which respondent-facing next step should this inbound inquiry receive?

The flow identifies the request before asking for path-specific context, so people see the right destination or confirmation without completing irrelevant questions.

Captures

Contact context, inquiry type, request details, and sales timing when relevant

Qualifies

Request type, defined respondent outcome, and sales context

Routes

Sales discovery calendar, support request page, partnership confirmation, careers page, or general confirmation

Routing policy

Make the routing policy yours before the flow goes live.

This template uses explicit inquiry-type routes. Sales or project inquiries continue through budget and timing questions, while other requests take a shorter path to their defined destination.

  1. 1

    The inquiry type selects the path.

  2. 2

    Every path collects request details before routing.

  3. 3

    Only sales or project inquiries receive budget and timeline questions.

  4. 4

    Each inquiry type has one explicit external destination or confirmation ending.

Logic, outcomes, and destinations

One front door can still produce five explicit respondent outcomes.

The inquiry-type answer controls the route. No AI interpretation is needed, non-sales visitors skip sales questions, and every path ends with a named destination that you replace before publishing.

Deterministic inquiry route

The saved inquiry type controls which questions and destination follow

Where the flow branches

  1. Question path

    Contact → inquiry type → request details → budget and timing on the sales path

  2. Deterministic inquiry route

    The saved inquiry type controls which questions and destination follow

  3. Five defined destinations

    Sales discovery calendar, support request page, partnership review confirmation, careers page, or general review confirmation

Outcome destinations

  1. Sales or project inquiry

    Continue to the sales discovery calendar

    Collect budget and timing context before opening the external sales calendar.

  2. Existing customer support

    Continue to the support request page

    Show the external support request page without asking sales questions.

  3. Partnership or media

    Complete with the partnership or media review confirmation

    Show a tailored confirmation ending while the completed response remains available in Qualyo.

  4. Careers

    Continue to the careers page

    Show candidates the external careers page.

  5. Other inquiry

    Complete with the general review confirmation

    Show a general review confirmation and keep the completed response available in Qualyo.

Local deterministic route

Try the route without sending a submission.

This local preview demonstrates the five deterministic destinations in the starting flow. It runs entirely on this page, sends no request, and stores no answer.

Local deterministic route

What kind of inquiry is this?

Choose a request type to preview its deterministic destination. Nothing is submitted or stored.

Explicit route choice

Sales or project inquiry

Continue to the sales discovery calendar

Sales discovery calendar

The full flow asks for budget and target timing before opening the external calendar.

No submission sent. No lead created. No answer stored. No AI used.

Customization

Replace the example policy with the way your team works.

The route is complete, but its labels, external resources, sales questions, confirmation endings, and form-level delivery settings must match how your team actually handles inbound work.

  1. Step 1

    Name the real request types

    Keep only the inbound categories your organization can recognize and own.

  2. Step 2

    Define every outcome

    Choose an external resource or calendar, or write a tailored confirmation ending. Configure notifications and webhooks separately at the form level when completed submissions need delivery.

  3. Step 3

    Keep questions path-specific

    Ask budget and timing only where they change the sales or project route.

  4. Step 4

    Test every destination

    Run all five paths and replace every placeholder before publishing the flow.

Use it for the right job

Use this when one generic contact route creates manual triage.

Good fit

  • Agencies and service businesses receiving several kinds of inbound requests.
  • Teams that need one public entry point with explicit respondent outcomes.
  • Businesses that want sales questions to appear only on a sales path.

Choose another workflow

  • A single-purpose qualification flow where every respondent follows the same path.
  • A support desk, applicant tracking system, CRM, or shared team inbox replacement.
  • A workflow whose destinations, confirmation copy, and response handling have not been agreed internally.

Multi-path inbound routing FAQ

Questions before you use the flow

What is an inbound routing flow?

An inbound routing flow identifies the kind of request, gathers the context its path needs, and presents a defined next step such as a calendar, resource, or tailored review confirmation.

Does every visitor answer all seven questions?

No. Every path uses the five shared contact and request questions. Only sales or project inquiries continue through the budget and target-timeline questions.

Does this template use AI to choose the route?

No. The inquiry-type choice controls the route through deterministic logic. Use AI only in a different flow where open context genuinely needs judgment.

Can I change the inquiry types and destinations?

Yes. Replace every option, path-specific question, external resource, calendar, review confirmation, and ending before publishing. Configure any submission notifications or webhooks separately at the form level.

Can support and careers requests skip sales questions?

Yes. The saved graph takes those request types through shorter paths, so budget and sales timing never appear.

Is the preview above a live public form?

No. It is a local, deterministic demonstration of the route destinations. It does not send a request, save an answer, or consume an AI conversation.

Start with five explicit inbound routes.

Copy the shared questions and deterministic branches, then connect every request type to the respondent outcome your team maintains.
