Integrate Housing.com with LeadSquared

1. Feature Overview

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

 

2. Prerequisites

  • You must be the Administrator of your LeadSquared account.
  • You must have an active Housing.com account.
  • This is a paid feature. To enable it, reach out to your account manager, or write to support@leadsquared.com.

 

3. How it Works

To push lead data from Housing.com to your LeadSquared account, configure the Housing.com connector instance. Once configured, enable the connector sync.

During configuration, a webhook URL is generated in LeadSquared. Copy this URL and set it up in your Housing.com account. Once it’s set up, the lead capture process is initiated.

 

4. Installation

  1. Navigate to Apps>Apps Marketplace.
  2. Search for Housing, and click Install.
    • Alternatively, you can find the connector on the left panel, under Lead Capture.
  3. Once installed, hover your cursor over , and click Configure.

5. Configure the Connector

Once you’ve installed the connector, on the Configure Housing 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.

LeadSquared - Housing configurations

PropertyDescription
Housing IdEnter your Housing.com account Id.
Housing Secret KeyEnter your Housing.com account secret key.
Lead SourceEnter the lead source through which leads were captured (e.g., Housing.com, email campaign, etc.). This detail will be displayed on the Lead Details page, under Lead Source.
Default Country CodeIf the lead’s mobile number is captured without a country code, then the default country code that’s selected from the dropdown will be added to the lead’s mobile number.
Select Time ZoneThe time zone of your Housing.com 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 and pull leads from Housing.com.

To know how to mark a LeadSquared lead field as unique, please refer to How to Make a Custom Field Unique.

Select User to Notify on FailureIf there is an error in fetching leads, the selected user will receive a failure message via email. You can select a user from the list of all the users available in your LeadSquared account.

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

Sync FrequencyBy default, we’ve selected a 3-hour frequency to pull data from Housing.com. 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 & Next.

 

Mapping & Manage Sync

Once you’re done with the basic settings, click Entity Options. On the Mapping screen, the Housing.com 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 Housing.com 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 .

Enable Sync

After mapping the Housing.com fields to the corresponding LeadSquared lead fields, enable lead sync. To do this, from the More Actions dropdown, click the Slider slider, and then click Save. Once the sync is enabled, LeadSquared will pull leads from Housing.com every 3-hours (or depending on the Sync Frequency configured).

You can also manually sync leads, outside of the Sync Frequency that’s configured. This is especially useful if you have old/legacy lead data in your Housing.com account.

  1. From the More Actions dropdown, click Sync Manually.
  2. On the Sync Manually pop-up, enter Start Date, End Date, and Time during which the lead data was captured in your Housing.com account.
  3. Once you’re done, click Submit. The leads that were captured during the selected time frame will be synced to LeadSquared.

Note:

  • It is recommended you run a manual sync job right after you configure the connector. This will ensure all the historic lead data available on your Housing.com account will be synced to LeadSquared.
  • The Sync Start Time & End Time must be within a date range of seven days (e.g., from 20th July to 26th July).
  • You can sync up to 4,000 leads at once.
