1. Feature Overview
In addition to adding activities and tasks on leads, you can now add them directly to activities (activities on activities, tasks on activities). The Activity Details Page enables you to view and add activities, notes and tasks on existing activities.
This is beneficial for a variety of use cases.
Let us take an example of a service ticket.
- Consider you have a ‘Service Ticket’ activity.
- On the service ticket, you can set up another activity to assign the ticket to the relevant team.
- You can set up a task on the service ticket for the actions to be taken up by the team in resolving the ticket.
- On the service ticket, you can also set up an activity for when there are escalations on the ticket, and who should receive the escalation.
- You can set up a completion task on the service ticket.
This means that instead of tracking activities against the lead, you can directly track activities and tasks against the service ticket.
2. Prerequisites
- You must be an administrator user in your LeadSquared account.
- To enable this feature, contact your account manager, or write to support@leadsquared.com.

Can call be an activity
Hi, Arani. Phone calls are considered as activities by default, and they are automatically posted on leads if your Telephony service provider is integrated with LeadSquared. Hope this helps.
How to hide the activity
Hi, Vinay. You can hide activities (view access) from your users, and prevent them from creating, editing and deleting activities through Permission Templates. Hope this helps!
