- You must have an active IndiaMART account.

3. How it Works
To pull leads, activities and tasks from IndiaMART to LeadSquared, configure the IndiaMART connector instance, and add your IndiaMART account credentials. Once this is done, enable sync for the connector instance in LeadSquared. This will begin the lead, activity and task capture process.
4. Installation

- Based on Role – From the Specify Roles dropdown, select the LeadSquared user roles that can use the connector.

6. Admin Configurations
To configure the connector settings to pull data from IndiaMART, navigate to Apps>IndiaMART.
6.1 Settings
On the Settings screen, enter the following details –
Property | Description |
v2 CRM Key | Reach out to your account representative from IndiaMART to obtain the v2 CRM key. |
Lead Source | Enter the lead source through which leads were captured (e.g., IndiaMART, email campaign, etc.). This detail will be displayed on the Lead Details page, under Lead Source. |
Default Country Code | If 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 Zone | The time zone of your IndiaMART account. |
Lead Capture Search By Criteria | To 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 IndiaMART. 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 Failure | If 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 Frequency | By default, we’ve selected a 3-hours frequency to pull data from IndiaMART. 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.
6.2 Lead/Contact Entity
Based on the Lead Capture Search By criteria selected (email Id, phone number, etc.), LeadSquared identifies and captures leads from your IndiaMART account. Lead capture is enabled by default, and it cannot be disabled.
Select one of the following options to configure the connector’s Sync Behaviour –
- Capture (Create and Update existing) Record – Leads that only exist in your IndiaMART account (but not in your LeadSquared account) will get created in LeadSquared. Leads that exist in both your IndiaMART and LeadSquared accounts will get updated.
- Create only new record – Leads that only exist in your IndiaMART account (but not in your LeadSquared account) will get created in LeadSquared.
- Update only existing record – Leads that exist in both your IndiaMART and LeadSquared accounts will get updated in LeadSquared.
- Do Nothing – When this option is selected, no action will be performed when a lead is created or updated in your IndiaMART account.
6.3 Mapping & Manage Sync
On the Entity Options screen, click Edit Mapping. The IndiaMART 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 slider.
- You can also mark and update a unique lead field as the search key from this screen, by clicking .
- To create a custom IndiaMART field, click the Add Custom button.
- Once this field is created, you must map it to the relevant LeadSquared lead field.
- After the field is mapped, to save the custom field, click .
- To delete a custom field, click .
6.4 Enable Sync
After mapping the IndiaMART fields to the corresponding LeadSquared lead fields, enable lead sync. To do this, from the More Actions dropdown, click the slider, and then click Save. Once the sync is enabled, LeadSquared will pull leads from IndiaMART 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 IndiaMART account.
- From the More Actions dropdown, click Sync Manually.

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 IndiaMART account will be synced to LeadSquared.

- You can sync up to 4,000 leads at once.
