Integrate Typeform with LeadSquared

1. Feature Overview

When your lead submits a form through Typeform, this connector captures them as leads in LeadSquared in real-time. 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 Typeform account, through which you’re using paid forms. To know more, speak to your Typeform account representative.
  • 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 Typeform to your LeadSquared account, configure the Typeform 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 Typeform account. Once it’s set up, the lead capture process is initiated.

 

4. Installation

You must first install and configure the Typeform connector.

  1. Navigate to Apps>Apps Marketplace.
  2. Search for Typeform, 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.

4.1 Configure the connector

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

5.1 Basic Setting

Enter the following details –

PropertyDescription
Lead SourceEnter the lead source through which the leads were captured (e.g., Typeform, 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 Typeform 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 pushed from Typeform.

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

Lead Capture Secondary Search By CriteriaIf lead identification and capture through the primary Search By criteria fails, it will be re-attempted using the secondary Search By criteria.
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.

Enable NotificationTo ensure notification emails are sent to the selected user when there’s a failed query, enable the Checkbox checkbox.

Once you’ve entered all the details, click Save & Next.

5.2 Entity Options

Define the sync behaviour of the connector when leads are captured.

5.2.1 Lead/Contact Entity

Based on the Lead Capture Search By criteria selected (email Id, phone number, etc.), LeadSquared identifies and captures leads from your Typeform account. Lead capture is enabled by default, and it cannot be disabled.  The following options are available to configure the connector’s Sync Behaviour –

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

Once you’re done, click Save & Next.

5.2.2 Activity Entity

Once leads are captured to LeadSquared, you can post custom activities to these leads (e.g., Ticket Creation, Chat Transcript, etc.). These activities will help users keep track of the lead’s journey to conversion. To post activities to the leads captured, alongside Activity Entity, enable the Slider slider. The following options are available to configure the connector’s Sync Behaviour when activities are synced to 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.

Note: Activity Type Definitions is disabled by default.

5.2.3 Mapping

On the Mapping screen, the Typeform 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, click  , enter the value under Default Value, and click Google.
    • 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 Typeform 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 .

Once you’re done mapping, click Save & Next.

Note: Based on the lead fields configured in your Typeform, add or update the lead fields in LeadSquared.
