Pre-fill Blank Values on Matched Records
Sometimes your 3rd party data sources, such as Salesforce or your MAP, may have a blank value for a mapped field when we match to a record. With this setting, you can choose whether to 'Keep the blank value' in Qualified, or you can choose to 'Use the next source' to prefill the field with the 'Additional sources' and then update the Salesforce or MAP record with the new data.

Meeting Routing Weights and Exclusions 💯
Modify the distribution of meetings booked across your reps with weights!
- Have a new team member still ramping? Set their weight to 25% so they receive only a quarter of the meetings they typically would.
- Got a star performer ready to take more meetings? Set their weight above 100% to route more meetings their way.
- Need to exclude a team member for a special project? Completely exclude them from being routed to by setting their weight to 0% in Smart Routing, or excluding them from Round Robin.
All Qualified Admins can go to Settings → Meeting Types → Routing to find these updates. For additional details, learn about about Meeting Type configuration, here.

'Book during a chat conversation' setting per Meeting Type 📆
With a handful of meeting types, it can be overwhelming for reps wanting to quickly offer a meeting during a chat. Admins can now control which meeting types are displayed to reps during a conversation. When this option is selected, the admin allows reps to serve this meeting type to visitors during a chat. When this option is deselected, the reps will not see this meeting type displayed when clicking "Offer a Meeting" during a conversation.
All Qualified Admins can go to Settings → Meeting Types to find these updates. Check out more customizations available with Meeting Types, here.
June 5, 2023
Meetings Round Robin
While Qualified strongly recommends using our Smart Routing functionality, you now have the option to use a strict round robin for meeting routing.
Round robin will route only to the rep who is next in line to get a meeting. Round robin routing does not optimize for finding the best time possible for the prospect, and hence may result in fewer meetings. Smart routing is strongly recommended.
For more details around Meeting Routing, check out more, here.

Related Object Filtering 🗂
Wish you could filter in Qualified based on custom objects in your Salesforce org? Now you can!
Qualified gives you the ability to not only filter by our three core objects (Leads, Contacts, and Accounts), but also by all fields of all objects directly related to those. By providing robust filtering capabilities, there's a massive increase to the data available to you and allows you to expand what the type of experience you serve your visitors.
Related object filtering in Qualified now applies to Experience triggers, Segments, and Routing.
Some example use cases include:
- Trigger a specific experience for Leads that have the Status = ‘Active’ in a custom related 'Free Trial' object
- Segment a Contact to a specific group or live stream if the Registration = ‘True’ for a related 'Event' object
- Route to a specific routing rule if an Account’s AccountTeam includes certain users
This feature is included in Enterprise plans. For access to Related Object Filtering, please reach out to your Qualified Success Architect.
