   • New Leads – New lead who’s been created in the system through the form.
   • Updated Leads – If there’s an existing lead in your system, that contains the same information (such as phone number, email address, etc.), then the lead fields in which data was captured for the first time will get updated.
   • Failed – If there’s an instance when the field mapping is not correct between LeadSquared and Google (such as incorrect Key, webhook, etc.) or when there’s a server error (such as 404 error, 500 error, etc.), then the lead details get captured on the Google form, but won’t be successfully mapped to your LeadSquared account. Such instances would show up as Failed.
   • Total Events – The total of all the above events is reflected under Total Events.

New Lead Summary
This section provides information about the new leads created by individual forms. Only the top-five forms, in terms of performance, which created maximum leads, gets displayed here. In this summary, you can only view New Leads details, and not Updated Leads or Failed leads details.

7. Reinstallation

After you uninstall the connector and then decide to reinstall it, you can retrieve the data that was previously captured. This option appears after you install and configure the connector, on the Sync Webhooks pop-up.

8. Troubleshooting

1. Data for a particular field is not being captured from my Google Lead Ads form to LeadSquared.

This may happen when the field in your Google form is not mapped to the corresponding field in LeadSquared. Check the ‘Field Mapping’ section of the connector configuration. If the field is not mapped, click Add Custom Mapping, and add the schema against the appropriate lead field. If this doesn’t fix the issue or if the field is mapped correctly but data still isn’t captured, contact support@leadsquared.com.
