Custom Opportunity Actions Connector

1. Feature Overview

The Custom Opportunities Actions connector allows you to create and add custom actions (actions apart from the default ones provided by LeadSquared) on a single opportunity or on multiple opportunities. It allows you to extend LeadSquared’s featured actions to support a variety of use-cases, such as –

  • Add an action to call on a number stored in a custom field (For e.g., “Call Parent” where parent’s number is stored in a custom field)
  • Add an action to send all the phone numbers of the opportunities in a list to a call center application for automated calling.
  • Add an action to trigger a data post on a custom Webhook.
  • Add an action to send a custom notification to opportunity owner.
  • Show all support tickets stored in external systems (like Zendesk, FreshDesk and so on) associated with the opportunity and display it as a separate window or pop-up.
Note: Custom actions will reflect on the LeadSquared mobile app as well.

3. How it Works

The connector enables you to create a custom action using a callback URL with mailmerge parameters (such as @{Opportunity:Status, }, @{Opportunity:Owner, }, etc.). You can also configure Iframe attributes to define how your action will be displayed on the Manage Opportunity and Opportunity Details page. You can use this to create single as well as bulk actions.
