How to Add Activities to Leads and Opportunities

1. Feature Overview

Activities are notable events that take place during a lead’s journey to conversion. These events could include (but are not limited to) default LeadSquared activities (like emails bounced, form submission, email opens and so on) and Custom Activities that are tailored to your business requirements (such as sending WhatsApp messages, scheduling Zoom meetings, and so on).

You can bulk add activities to both leads and opportunities. In LeadSquared, Leads represent your potential customers, while Opportunities represent your potential deals.

 

2. Prerequisites

  • To add activities to opportunities, you must have the opportunities feature configured in your account. To enable it, please write to support@leadsquared.com
  • You must be the administrator or a marketing user of your LeadSquared account.

 

2. How it Works

  • You can add activities to leads from the Manage Leads page and the Lead Details page.
