Setting leads based on zip codes

I did it by "States".  

Hi Zach,

I had a similar need for assigning Accounts when a sales territory for a state was split.  It was a manual and painful project accomplished using export / import and the Excel "=vlookup" command.

If the volume is low enough, you could have a BPM that sent the request to assign the lead to someone that had the time and responsibility to do the assignments.

Hi Zach, I have seen this topic come up before and wanted to share a couple of threads. I don't think there is an easy/straightforward solution, but I'm sure there are ways it can be done.

This thread is quite old now, but I'm pretty sure the concepts in the verified answer still apply: Assign leads based on zip code range. Note that it handles zip codes in blocks, using a range of zip codes instead of a single one at a time.

This thread by Bud Hartley  is more recent and talks about some third-party services you could consider: Adding the Name of the County in Account records based on the Postal Code?  

Hopefully these will at least give you some background info and things to consider based on past discussions.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone, for the time being I am using Zapier to implement the function i needed by creating a zip to terr module. I think i will work on a web hook for the future but this was a quick solution.
