Email alert for Professional Edition

Hi,

 

I was wondering if someone could share your experience working with professional edition.

 

I am trying to create an email alert with some significant fields that is automatically send out during lead conversion i.e when a Lead is converted to an account.
 

As a next step, I would take the fields from the email to an API that would automatically populate that relevant businesses profile in our data base.

 

Is this possible with the professional edition?

 

Thanks for your comments.

I'm guessing you are asking because the ideal way to do this would be through workflow, and unfortunately workflows are not found in Professional Edition. 

 

I can only imagine one possibility of creating a fake user, who's email address is set to the inbound repository for your API.  Everytime you convert a lead, either assign the task or the opportunity to this user and send them an email informing them of the assignment.  But, like I said, that's only in my imagination and I haven't tested the possibility out fully.

 

Hope that helps,

 

JB
