Distribution

Distribution is the pipeline a lead travels through after it arrives. Ping-post, bidding, the marketplace, and Club are individual pieces of machinery, and distribution is how they’re strung together. You define the order of operations, and Juiced runs every lead through that sequence until it sells, gets held, or runs out of stages. You’ll find it under Distribution Stages in the sidebar. If you don’t see it, your role doesn’t include access to distribution stages, so ask an admin on your account.

​

Distribution stages

A stage is a single step in your pipeline. Each stage has a method that determines what it does, plus settings that control how it behaves. Stages are ordered, and leads move from the first stage to the next until one takes the lead or the sequence ends.

​

Stage methods

“Terminal” stages can take the lead and end the flow. “Non-terminal” stages always pass the lead on to the next stage.

​

Stage settings

Every stage has a Name, an optional Description, a Method, and a Paused switch. Depending on the method, you’ll also see some of these settings.

• Deliveries per lead (Highest Price, Round Robin) sets how many recipients can receive each lead at this stage. Deliveries also respect the lead type’s sell limit.
• Bid Settings (Highest Price) include Enable Bids, which lets customer bids compete, optionally limited to certain Bidding Scopes (Nationwide, State, County). Leave the scopes empty for any scope.
• Partner Settings include Enable Partners, which lets partner offers compete. Highest Price adds a Minimum Price for partner offers. Both methods let you include all partners, only selected partners, or all except selected ones.
• Customer Settings (Round Robin) offer the same all/include/exclude choice for customers in the rotation.
• Eligibility Conditions are rules that decide whether a lead qualifies for this stage. A stage with conditions only runs when the lead matches, and otherwise it’s skipped.
• Paused temporarily skips a stage without deleting it, which is useful when you’re troubleshooting or rolling out changes gradually.

The configuring distribution stages guide walks through every method’s settings screen.

Ordering

Stages run top-to-bottom. Drag the handle on a row to reorder, then click Save changes in the bar that appears. Dragging is turned off while a search or filter is active, so you’re always reordering the full list. The usual pattern is to start with the highest-value method (Highest Price with ping-post and top-tier partners), fall back to less profitable methods (Round Robin, secondary partners), and end with Marketplace or Club as a catch-all for unsold leads.

​

Distribution attempts

Every time a lead enters a stage, Juiced records a distribution attempt. Each attempt gets one of these statuses. Attempts are stored per flow, so a single lead can have many attempts across multiple stages.

​

Distribution flows and the log

A distribution flow is the record of a lead’s full journey, including every stage it visited, every attempt, and the outcome. Flows are listed under Entries → Incoming logs, and you can jump to a lead’s flow with View Log on the lead page. See Logs for a tour. Each log lays the flow’s events out on a timeline, in chronological order. Every card describes its event in plain language (for example, “Lead distributed to Halberd & Crow Coffee”). These are the kinds of events you’ll see. Use the log to diagnose why a particular lead didn’t sell, or to review the decisions made across a day’s volume.

​

Typical patterns

Here are a few common pipeline shapes.

• Ping-post first, marketplace fallback runs Highest Price (with partner ping-post enabled) → Marketplace. Unsold leads cascade automatically.
• Review before selling runs Audit (conditions for a new source) → Highest Price → Marketplace. Leads from the new source wait for you, and everything else sells as normal.
• Enrich then sell runs Real Estate API → Highest Price → Marketplace. Property data is attached before the auction so conditions and pricing can use it.
• Tiered partners runs Highest Price (Tier 1 partners only) → Highest Price (Tier 2 partners only) → Marketplace. Each stage can have its own include-list.
• Age and relist runs Marketplace (fresh) → Alter Data (switch to an “aged” lead type) → Marketplace (aged) → Club.

Stages are cheap to add and reorder, so iterate on your pipeline as you learn what sells.
