Side note, I recommend emailing Shellie and Connie about your Paylocity PTO balance issues. I sent mine over last night and even though Connie is out, Shellie is going to follow up on it. Apparently there was a need for balance reconciliation in the past and I didn't get included in it (that's the assumption), so getting yours right amid the transfer from SL to TIP is probably going to be wrong to start with.

Hitting a roadblock on my testing. It looks like when Dustin "improved" McFadden's code and removed those 200+ lines of code, it messed something up so were not getting the leadspedia data anymore. I reached out and he's attempting to fix now.

James Turner (jturner@shield-legal.com)
2025-02-27 14:00:55

But I was able to generate reports from five9 that you can access without Bigquery, to compare to leadspediaallsold once that gets back up and running

James Turner (jturner@shield-legal.com)
2025-02-27 15:06:36

We were getting all of them before, like the 500k+ I showed you, and now we are only getting like 40k so we cant' use it as a way to compare the two. I'm reaching out now to see if they can just roll the code back temporarily so we can at least get a snapshot for testing.

Updates for the day: • Reached out to Mark as requested, and CCed you on all that communication. • In that process, I build a tool we can run to check for new campaigns, or changes in campaign names in Lawruler. This will feed into the PCTID data that all the other flows use. • I'm still digging away on attempting to build testing for the leadspedia -> lawruler -> five9. With the Leadspedia pipeline being down, I've been attempting to verify through very manual methods. • Spoke with Dustin for awhile trying to figure out why the Leadspedia lead pipeline went down and researched alternatives there are to get what we need. • Through manual methods I am seeing some odd stuff. Some leads are going through but I'm also seeing Leads showing up in Five9 that aren't in Leadspedia, and Leadspedia leads that aren't showing up in Five9. I don't trust any of it yet though because I'm having to rely on unreliable data until we get that Leadspedia pipeline back up.

I was chasing that rabbit for awhile, that's good to know, Any reason we are pulling out of manual dialing on a Friday or just because that's what tomorrow is?

Ultimately if agents don't like it, thats unfortunate but the way it is- Hopefully the weekend just gives upset people time to cool off and doesn't create more issues.

Just because we need to see all campaigns gets leads piped in via API. We had 488 new leads yesterday and TBD for today. We don’t even have to do it all day, but to run through several campaigns and make sure we catch new ones will be confidence building.

James Turner (jturner@shield-legal.com)
2025-04-21 18:21:08

We determined a solution but before moving forward, I want to ensure It's approved from a business standpoint.

When a lead generates a referral (think brother for video game addiction) agent tags the case as a referral, and pd copy pastes the case_description field on Lawruler from the original lead to the referral lead.

When a lead gets moved from one campaign to another, we change the LR casetype but keep everything else the same, which means that the media buyer still gets paid, but we bill and send the lead to the proper firm.

I can imagine! I'm making good progress on the current sprint and already got more done than I expected to today, with hopefully a few more big tasks done by end of day.

I'm hoping that when we move forward with whatever new CRM it is, we set it up where agents physically are not able to submit their info without it being in the correct format. ( It's a method used in Data Governance )

James Turner (jturner@shield-legal.com)
2025-05-15 14:14:54

We need some cohesive direction on the scope of this project and who's actually supposed to be doing it. I can build a commission system using code, dashboards for supervisors, and checking itself with LR_data but it won't be real time, it will be updated hourly.

It looks like Anthony is pretty hard stuck on keeping everyone on his system, and different leaders are telling different people to build this system..

James Turner (jturner@shield-legal.com)
2025-05-15 14:16:11

If we want to say forget it and just let him do it, because it's not worth the fight and lack of leadership direction then all I would need is to get the data from all of this into BQ, but I am concerned what happens when this system grows and breaks because excel can't handle it
