What is an intake?
An intake (litify_pm__Intake__c) stores information about a potential case on Litify. Connect an intake with a party record for the potential case and begin gathering information with Litify Intakes tools. This is the first step in the intake-qualification process. Intakes help you keep track of your potential cases on Litify and determine which cases to sign up.
When should I create an intake?
Create an intake record when you receive a call about a potential case or you call a lead to begin qualifying it. Then, assemble important information about the case on the intake. Qualify the case with questionnaires, CQC, DICE queues, and other Litify Intakes tools. This is the stage when you determine whether or not you want to sign up the case and open a matter from the case.
