Communication

Every conversation, in one thread.

Email from your own domain, calls and texts on a Leaf360 line, meetings from your calendar, and partner messages. All of it landing on the record of the person you were talking to.

What it is

A borrower emails you Monday, texts you Wednesday and calls you Friday. In a normal stack those three conversations live in three products, and the only place they meet is your head. Then you go on vacation and nobody else can pick the file up.

Leaf360 puts them in one inbox, attached to the record. Email goes out from your own domain through your connected Google or Outlook account, which is unlimited on every plan including Free. Calls and texts run on a Leaf360 phone line, which is part of Pro.

The phone system is not a dialer bolted on the side. It carries business hours, a ring strategy, voicemail, spam screening, number porting, recording with a spoken disclosure, and transcripts that come back as text on the record.

How it works, day to day

Two separate things, and it is worth knowing which is which: your inbox email, and the phone system.

  1. 1

    Connect your mailbox

    Link your Google or Outlook account and email sends from your own domain, so a borrower sees the address they already know. This is one-to-one email and it is unlimited on every plan, Free included. Bulk campaigns are a different thing and need the marketing add-ons on Pro.

  2. 2

    Set up the phone system, once

    Pro includes one line. Setup walks through choosing a number, optionally porting an existing one, payment, and the Trust Center registration carriers require before your number can send texts. That registration is the long step, so start it early.

  3. 3

    Decide what happens on an incoming call

    Business hours, ring strategy, voicemail and blocked callers are all in Phone System under Communications in Settings. Nothing on that screen saves itself, so click Save Changes when you are done.

  4. 4

    Record, or do not, but say so

    Recording Consent and Call Recording are two separate switches. The disclosure plays before the call connects, and Leaf360 swaps in stricter wording on its own when the caller's state requires all parties to consent.

  5. 5

    Read the call instead of remembering it

    Recorded calls come back as transcripts with the details pulled out, on the record. Meetings work the same way on paid plans: send the notetaker into a live meeting or pull in a Zoom recording, and read the summary and action items after.

From the originator's chair

Why it matters for a loan officer

The worst moment in a file is the one where a borrower repeats something they already told you. It costs you nothing in money and everything in trust, and it happens because the last conversation was in a different app.

One thread fixes that, and it also fixes the handoff. When your processor opens the record they see the same email, the same text and the same call you do, so nobody has to ask the borrower again.

  • A borrower's email, text and call sit in one place, so the answer is always in front of whoever is looking.
  • Email leaves from your own domain, not from a marketing sender the borrower does not recognize.
  • The recording disclosure and the all-party consent wording are handled without you thinking about them.
  • A transcript means you can be on the call instead of typing during it.

Questions

No. Email from your own connected Google or Outlook inbox is unlimited on every plan, including Free, and it sends from your own domain. What needs Pro is the phone system, and what needs the Email Marketing or Multi-Channel add-on on Pro is bulk campaigns and the emails a workflow sends on its own.
