[Schedule Demo](/schedule-call) [See pricing](/pricing) On this page - [Reference Architecture](#architecture) - [At Lead Capture](#capture) - [Into the LOS](#los) - [Into the CRM](#crm) - [Two-Week Rollout](#rollout) - [FAQs](#faqs) Quick Answer A pre-qualification API integrates at the lead-capture layer, decisions in under a second, and writes the result into both the CRM (for routing) and the LOS (for the loan file). A typical CRM-first rollout takes 3–5 business days; adding full LOS write-back adds another week. No LOS modification is required — modern LOS platforms already expose the webhook and API surfaces the pattern needs. - CRM-first Integrate at capture, not at the LOS. - Two weeks Typical time from kickoff to full write-back. - Minimum PII No SSN, no docs — name + contact + address. - Auditable Decision + consent artifact land on the loan file. ## Reference Architecture 1. 01 Lead capture Form or landing page collects intake + consent, fires a webhook to the CRM. 2. 02 CRM triggers pre-qual API CRM automation posts the intake payload to the pre-qualification endpoint. 3. 03 Decision returns Pre-qual API returns { decision, tier, dti\_estimate, program, reason\_code, artifact\_id } in under a second. 4. 04 CRM routes + LOS writes CRM updates lead status and routes; a background job writes the decision + artifact ID into the LOS loan file. 5. 05 LO acts LO opens a Qualified file with the decision, program, and consent already attached. ## At Lead Capture The capture surface — landing page form, dialer intake, or third-party lead feed — is where the consent artifact is created. Display the FCRA + TCPA language inline, store the exact text shown along with a timestamp and IP, and pass the artifact ID with every downstream API call. This is the compliance backbone; skip it and nothing else in the stack saves you. ## Into the LOS Every major LOS supports the pattern: - **Encompass:** Partner API + custom fields for tier, DTI estimate, and matched program. - **Empower:** Web Services + LOAssistant to write the decision object to the loan file. - **Byte Software:** Custom-field write via web services. - **MeridianLink Mortgage:** API-based custom field updates on loan creation. The rule is the same in every LOS: only create the loan file for Qualified leads. DNQ files stay in the CRM until (and unless) a manual review promotes them. ## Into the CRM On the CRM side, the pre-qual decision drives three automations: - **Routing:** Qualified files route to the LO whose program specialty matches the returned program. - **Nurture:** DNQ files enter a nurture flow appropriate to the reason code (credit-repair path, retry-in-90-days path, cross-sell to a partner lender). - **Reporting:** Decision and reason code become filterable dimensions on every LO scorecard and pipeline report. ## Two-Week Rollout Realistic timeline Day Task 1–2 Kickoff, credentials, sandbox access 3–4 CRM integration: webhook + custom fields + routing rule 5 End-to-end test on a lead cohort (25–50% traffic) 6–8 LOS write-back: custom fields, decision object, artifact ID 9–10 Compliance sign-off on consent + storage 11–12 Expand to 100% traffic; retire legacy scoring rules 13–14 Baseline metrics review + tune DNQ thresholds ## Frequently Asked Questions - Do we need to modify our LOS to integrate a pre-qualification API? No. Modern pre-qual layers integrate at the CRM or lead-capture layer and push the resulting decision into the LOS via existing webhook or API paths (Encompass Partner API, Empower Web Services, etc.). - How long does a typical integration take? For a CRM-first integration (HubSpot, Salesforce, Velocify), 3–5 business days is normal. Full LOS write-back adds another week. - Does the pre-qual result need to live on the loan file? Yes — for both compliance (audit trail) and productivity (LO sees the reason code). Store the decision, credit tier, matched program, and consent artifact on the loan record. - Which CRMs are best supported for mortgage pre-qual? Any CRM with webhook + custom-field support works. In mortgage specifically, Velocify, Surefire, HubSpot, and Salesforce Financial Services Cloud are the most common patterns. - What about lender-portal integrations for wholesale? The same API pattern works — the pre-qual runs when a broker submits a scenario, and the decision returns to the broker portal in real time. - Do we need PII to leave our environment? Modern pre-qual APIs accept minimum-necessary fields (name, phone, email, address for mortgage) and return a decision. No SSN, no bank data, no docs. PII exposure is minimal and lives under a signed DPA. - How do we handle DNQ leads in the LOS? Best practice is to hold DNQ files in the CRM only — never open a loan file in the LOS for a DNQ. This keeps your LOS pipeline clean and your reporting honest. - Can we A/B test pre-qualification without a full rollout? Yes. Most teams route 25–50% of new leads through the pre-qual pipeline for the first two weeks, measure LO-level app and fund rates against the control cohort, then expand to 100% once the lift is proven. Compliance note OmniaIQ is a lead qualification and pre-qualification platform, not a lender, credit bureau, or underwriting service. A Qualified result is informational and does not constitute a credit decision or guarantee of funding. Customers must establish a permissible purpose and capture the required consent before submitting a lead for a credit pre-qualification. OmniaIQ pre-qualifications use a soft credit inquiry that does not affect the applicant's credit score. OmniaIQ does not automatically satisfy a customer's TCPA obligations for subsequent calls, texts, or marketing outreach. ## Ready to see it on your pipeline?
