If you are using dynamic number swapping or call tracking (using a number pool), you may want to be able to determine if a lead found its way to you via an organic social media search, a paid Google ad, or other source. Within a Workflow in HighLevel, you can use several different contact attribution variables for both first and last attribution, to customize your Workflow actions.

Step 1: Create The Workflow Trigger in HighLevel
- Set up a Workflow Trigger as “Incoming Call”
- Choose Call Status and Filter Call Direction as “Incoming”
