5. FAQs

Will this connector also capture new leads?
No, this connector only syncs meetings between LeadSquared and your email provider.

I have multiple Outlook/Gmail calendars. Will I be able to sync all of them with LeadSquared?
Calendar sync will only sync with a user’s primary calendar. If a user has multiple calendars in their Outlook or Gmail account, LeadSquared will only sync with the primary or default calendar.

Can I connect both my Outlook and Gmail accounts to LeadSquared?
No, you can either connect your Gmail or Outlook account. Both the accounts cannot be synced at the same time.

Can I sync past meetings (created before the connector was installed) from my Outlook/Gmail accounts?
Historical calendar event sync is NOT supported. Any events created prior to the connector integration will not be synced to LeadSquared.

Will new meetings be created if the lead doesn’t exist in my LeadSquared account?
When an appointment meeting is created from your email calendar, the meeting will only show up on the Lead Details page of leads that exist in LeadSquared. Meetings with leads that don’t exist in LeadSquared are categorized as internal meetings, and they are created with a task owner but no lead. LeadSquared will not create new leads if the meeting attendees do not exist in your LeadSquared account.

My lead has multiple email Ids, which one should I use to create meetings?
For the meeting to appear in your lead’s timeline, the lead must be using the same email address as the one stored in LeadSquared.

Are all-day events also supported?
All-day events will not be synced to LeadSquared.

Are my private calendar events also synced to LeadSquared?
Calendar sync does not sync private calendar events to your account. If a public event is later changed to private, the engagement will remain in your LeadSquared account, but changes to the event will no longer sync.
