# 3. Get leads into Leadey

> Import a list, capture inbound enquiries, or add people one at a time.

<Note>
  Video walkthrough coming soon.
</Note>

There are four ways people get into your workspace. Most teams use all of them
eventually. Start with whichever matches the list you already have.

## Import a CSV

Go to **Leads** and choose to import a file.

Map your columns to Leadey's fields. The mapping is remembered, so the second
import of the same export shape is a few clicks.

Two things worth knowing:

* **Contact fields are optional.** If your list is companies rather than people
  — a target account list with no names yet — import it as it is. Leadey will
  not invent a person named after their own employer.
* **Duplicates are merged, not stacked.** Importing a list you have imported
  before updates the existing records rather than creating a second copy of
  everyone.

## Capture inbound enquiries

Every campaign can have its own **inbound webhook** — a URL that your website
form, ad platform or automation tool posts to. A person who fills in your
contact form lands directly in the right campaign.

Open a campaign, then its settings, to find the URL and map the fields your form
sends. See [Inbound webhooks](/guides/webhooks) for the payload shape.

This is how you keep inbound and outbound in one place rather than in two tools
that disagree about who a person is.

## Add someone by hand

On **Leads**, add an individual. Useful for the person you just met, and for
testing a campaign on yourself before pointing it at real people.

## Find people you don't have yet

**Search** builds lists from scratch rather than importing one.
That is the whole of parts 4 and 5 — skip ahead if you have no list to start
from.

## How Leadey decides two records are the same person

A person is identified by their email address first, then by their LinkedIn
profile. The same human appearing in three imports and one webhook is one
person, enrolled in however many campaigns — not four contacts with three
different call histories.

<Note>
  This is why it is safe to import overlapping lists. It is also why changing
  someone's email address on one record changes it everywhere.

## Leads and companies

Every lead carries a company. Leadey builds a company record behind the scenes
and links people at the same business together, so opening a company shows
everyone you know there and everything anyone on your team has done with them.

## What you should have now

Leads in the workspace, visible on the **Leads** page, with no duplicates.
