Integrate CampusNexus with LeadSquared

1. Feature Overview

This connector periodically captures leads and activities from your CampusNexus account to LeadSquared. Once the leads and activities are synced, you can leverage LeadSquared’s CRM features to nurture and convert your leads.

 

2. Prerequisites

5. Configure the Connector

Once you’ve installed the connector, on the Configure CampusNexus pop-up, configure the connector access for the non-Admin users in your account. Only those users for whom access is granted can view and access the connector (under the Apps main menu).

  1. Select if you want to grant Connector Access that’s Based on Role or Advanced (User Level).
    • Based on Role – From the Specify Roles dropdown, select the LeadSquared user roles that can use the connector.
    • Advanced (User Level) – From the Advanced (User Level) dropdown, select a user boolean field. Based on the value entered in the selected boolean field, the user can access the connector (e.g., for the user Sam, if the “Is Employee” boolean user field contains the value “Yes”, then this user can access the connector).
  2. Once you’re done, click Save Details. To continue the configuration, refer to the below sections.
Note: By default, all Admin users will have access to the connector.

Lead SourceEnter the lead source through which the leads were captured (e.g., CampusNexus, email campaign, etc.). This detail will be displayed on the Lead Details page, under Lead Source.

Select Time ZoneThe time zone of your CampusNexus account.
Lead Capture Search By CriteriaTo avoid duplicate leads, you must select one unique lead field (e.g., email Id, mobile number, PAN number, etc.) as the search key. This will be used to identify the leads pulled from CampusNexus.

To know more about the type of errors, please refer to Error Notifications.

Enable NotificationEnable the Checkbox checkbox to ensure notification emails are sent to the selected user when there’s a failed query.
Sync FrequencyBy default, we’ve selected a 15-minute frequency to pull data from CampusNexus. You can use the ‘Hours’ and ‘Minutes’ dropdowns to select a custom interval, based on which lead data will be pulled.

Once you’re done entering all the details, click Save.

6.2 Mapping & Manage Sync

On the Entity Options screen, click Edit Mapping. The CampusNexus system fields mapped to the corresponding LeadSquared lead fields are visible. This mapping is carried out by default. If required, you can change or update the default field mapping.

  • To provide a default value for any field, enter the value under Default Value.
    • If the data provider doesn’t send data for any lead field, then the default value will get assigned to that specific field. But if the field already has an existing value, then the default value will be ignored.
  • To disable lead data capture for any field, disable the Zoom slider.
  • You can also mark and update a unique lead field as the search key from this screen, by clicking unique icon.
  • To create a custom CampusNexus field, click the Add Custom button.
    1. Once this field is created, you must map it to the relevant LeadSquared lead field.
    2. After the field is mapped, to save the custom field, click Google.
    3. To delete a custom field, click .

On this page, define the Sync Behaviour of the connector when leads and activities are captured –

  • Capture (Create and Update existing) Record – Leads that only exist in your CampusNexus account (but not in your LeadSquared account) will get created in LeadSquared. Leads that exist in both your CampusNexus and LeadSquared accounts will get updated.
  • Create only new record – Leads that only exist in your CampusNexus account (but not in your LeadSquared account) will get created in LeadSquared.

  • Capture (Create and Update existing) Record – New activities will get posted to the lead in LeadSquared, while existing activities will get updated.
  • Create only new record – Only new activities will get posted to leads in LeadSquared.
  • Update only existing record – Only existing activities on the leads captured will get updated in LeadSquared.

You can also map these activities to leads. Follow the steps mentioned under Mapping & Manage Sync (Section 5.2).

Once you’re done, click Save.

Note:

  • To define which LeadSquared activity type you want to map and capture data to, contact your account manager or support@leadsquared.com.
  • An activity is classified as a new activity or an existing activity based on the Lead Capture Search By Criteria you’ve selected in the previous section.
