Qualification depends on when Salesforce pings Referral Factory to confirm the status update. The delay should not exceed two hours, though it's typically much faster.

What affects timing

  • The speed of the Salesforce event trigger (deal stage change, lifecycle update, etc.)
  • The current sync queue volume
  • Whether the qualification rule is correctly configured in Campaign > Integrations > Salesforce > Qualify Referrals

If qualification is consistently slow
