Booth and conference leads that make it into HighLevel
Badge scans arrive days later in a spreadsheet, and business cards get typed up by whoever has time. With Textiful, visitors give you their details by text and they’re in your CRM before they reach the next booth.
One setup per client
Give each client their own keyword or QR code and Zap, so leads from their event land in their HighLevel sub-account.
A keyword or a QR code
Say “text DEMO to 33777” from the front of the room, or put a QR code where people can scan it. Either one starts your capture flow.
Qualifying questions by text
A capture flow asks for company, role, or timeline one text at a time, and each answer becomes a field your reps can sort by.

Questions people ask
Yes. Each Zap watches one flow, so give each event its own flow and Zap. Tag contacts with the event or client name so the right workflow picks them up.
HighLevel’s Zapier app is listed as LeadConnector. Choose LeadConnector as the action app and sign in with your HighLevel account.
No. The short codes 33777 and 55444 work in the US only, and QR codes text those same numbers, so Textiful is for audiences in the US.
