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, from the first scan to a CRM-ready record:
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, and the record that lands in your CRM is complete.
AI Notetaker: record and summarize the conversation so follow-ups reference what was actually said, not "it was great to meet you." On most CRM connections, notes sync to the contact's record alongside their details. See Connecting Blinq to your CRM for which ones.
Campaigns: auto-tag leads to the right event, use custom qualifiers, and see reporting and attribution on every event. Link a campaign to a HubSpot list, Salesforce campaign, Dynamics campaign or Marketo program and every lead is attributed in your CRM automatically.
CRM & marketing platform integrations: send enriched leads, notes and tags straight to your CRM in real time. Blinq connects natively to HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Zoho CRM, GoHighLevel, monday.com, Pipedrive and Marketo, and also exports to Microsoft Outlook, with Zapier covering thousands more. See Connecting Blinq to your CRM for setup.
Once your CRM is connected, an admin can turn on automatic export so every captured lead flows through on its own, with field mapping you control. Leads are in your CRM while the event is still running, ready to be routed, sequenced and reported on.
Common use cases
Event lead capture: a universal workflow for capturing leads and conversation context at trade shows and conferences. Blinq is rated #1 on G2 for Event Lead Capture Software.
Field sales and on-site teams: every conversation a rep has on the road lands in your CRM the moment it happens, enriched and ready, so deals move forward without anyone going back to type up their day.
Real estate and property viewings: log who walked through the open home, what they're after and their budget, and follow up that evening while the property is still front of mind.
Recruitment and talent events: turn a busy careers fair into a clean, searchable shortlist. Scan each candidate, attach notes on their background and fit, and reach the strongest ones first instead of deciphering a stack of CVs next week.
Lead Capture pricing
Capturing leads with Blinq is free, additional to standard per-user charges. You pay for enrichment: each lead Blinq enriches consumes 1 credit, with credits priced at $5 each on pay as you go. Pricing is current and may change. Bulk credit packages at a discounted rate, and unlimited lead packages for teams that don't want to count credits at all, are available by contacting our sales team.
Credits also cover bulk enrichment, which is currently priced case by case; see How credits work at Blinq for the full breakdown of what uses credits across Blinq.

Billing
1 enrichment = 1 credit, and a credit costs $5 on pay as you go. The Blinq team will confirm billing terms for your workspace. 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 your team runs a heavy event calendar, ask about an unlimited lead package: one price, no credit counting. Either way, talk to the Blinq team and we'll size a package to your volume:
FAQ
Do I need a separate plan to use Lead Capture features?
No. All features in Blinq's lead capture workflow are available within Blinq Business.
Can I try lead capture before paying for credits?
Yes. Blinq Business comes with a 30-day free trial, and capturing leads during your trial doesn't use credits.
Can I buy credits in bulk?
Yes. Teams capturing at scale can buy discounted bulk credit packages, and unlimited lead packages are available for teams that would rather not meter at all.
What happens with duplicate leads?
If a lead is already in your account, capturing them again won't consume a credit.
What if Blinq can't find an email or phone for a lead?
Each enrichment uses 1 credit, whether or not Blinq finds an email address or phone number.
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 enrich leads.
