What Lead Capture is

The best conversations your team has happen in person - at trade shows, conferences, site visits and meetings. They're also the leads most likely to turn into pipeline. The problem is that they usually arrive in your CRM days later, stripped of context, after someone has typed them in from a stack of badge photos or a pile of business cards.

Lead Capture is Blinq Business's in-person lead workflow built to fix exactly that. Your team scans a badge, business card, LinkedIn QR code or name tag, Blinq enriches the contact with verified details, captures the conversation, and syncs it straight to your CRM in seconds, not days, so you can follow up fast and with context.

All features powering Lead Capture workflows are available to use within Blinq Business plans.

How Blinq powers Lead Capture workflows

Every Blinq Business plan with Lead Capture gives your team the full workflow:

Universal Scanner: capture contacts from event badges, business cards, QR codes and name tags. Works across every event, with no event-specific app to download.
Contact enrichment: Blinq auto-fills verified email, phone, job title, LinkedIn and company details so reps don't leave a conversation with half a contact.
AI Notetaker: record and summarize the conversation so follow-ups reference what was actually said, not "it was great to meet you."
Campaigns: auto-tag leads to the right event, use custom qualifiers, and see reporting and attribution on every event.
CRM & marketing platform integrations: send enriched leads and notes straight to HubSpot, Salesforce, Dynamics, Marketo and more in real time.

Billing

Lead Capture credits are billed for monthly, in arrears, i.e. at the end of each month, you pay for the leads you captured during that month. You can see exactly how many credits you've used at any time on your Blinq Business dashboard so admins always know where their spend is going.

Buying credits in bulk

Teams that capture leads in person at scale or prefer to be billed upfront can purchase bulk credit packages at a discount. If that's you, talk to the Blinq team and we'll size a package to your volume.

FAQs

Do I need a separate plan to use Lead Capture features?

No. All features leveraged in Blinq’s lead capture workflow are available within Blinq Business.

Can I buy credits in bulk?

Yes. Teams capturing at scale can buy discounted bulk credit packages. Contact the Blinq team for a quote.

What happens with duplicate leads?

If a lead is already in your account, capturing them again won't consume a credit.

What if a lead that is captured is not enriched?

In these cases, you're only charged a partial credit. That covers cases like paper business cards (where contact information is often available already), when you capture data directly from event organizer badge kits, or in rare cases where Blinq was unable to enrich the contact with a verified email or phone.

Do exports cost credits?

No. Every export method is free - native CRM sync, MCP, Zapier and CSV.

Does use of Blinq’s AI Notetaker cost extra?

No. The AI Notetaker, campaigns and qualifier forms are part of your plan and don't consume credits. Credits are only used to capture and enrich leads.
