1. Feature Overview
This connector captures leads in real-time from your Shiksha.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 Shiksha.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 Shiksha.com to your LeadSquared account, configure the Shiksha.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 Shiksha.com account. Once it’s set up, the lead capture process is initiated.
4. Installation

5. Configure the Connector
Once you’ve installed the connector, on the Configure Shiksha 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).
- 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).
- Once you’re done, click Save Details. To continue the configuration, refer to the below sections.
