Scanning Screenshots to Add Leads
Turn screenshots from Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Bark, and more into leads automatically.
What Is Screenshot Scanning?
When you get a new enquiry on Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Bark, or even WhatsApp — you probably screenshot it. With A.X.E.L, you can turn that screenshot straight into a lead without typing a thing.
A.X.E.L reads the text from your screenshot, picks out the customer's name, phone number, location, and what they need — then creates a lead for you to review and save.
How to Use It
- Take a screenshot of the enquiry on your phone (or save one you already have)
- Open A.X.E.L and tap the green + button
- Select Lead
- Tap 📸 Scan Screenshot
- Choose the screenshot from your camera roll
- A.X.E.L extracts the details and shows you a pre-filled lead form
- Review the details, make any corrections, and tap Save
Supported Sources
A.X.E.L works with screenshots from:
- Checkatrade — new lead notifications and enquiry details
- MyBuilder — job postings and customer messages
- Bark — lead notifications
- WhatsApp — customer messages with job details
- Email — forwarded enquiries or screenshots of email leads
- Facebook Marketplace — messages about jobs
It works with most text-based screenshots. If the image is clear and readable, A.X.E.L will pick up the details.
Tips for Best Results
- Make sure the text is readable — crop out unnecessary parts of the screenshot
- Include the phone number — if it's visible in the screenshot, A.X.E.L will grab it
- One screenshot per lead — if you've got multiple enquiries, scan them separately
- Check the details — A.X.E.L is smart but not perfect. Always review before saving
Why Use This?
Most tradesmen get leads from five or six different places. Without a system, you end up with names scattered across apps, notebooks, and your memory. Screenshot scanning lets you centralise everything in seconds — no typing, no copy-pasting, no forgetting.
