Integrate Zoho Forms with LeadSquared

1. Feature Overview

This connector captures leads from your Zoho Forms account to LeadSquared. You can configure the connector to capture leads in real-time from your Zoho Forms account. Once the leads are captured, 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 Zoho Forms 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 Zoho Forms to your LeadSquared account, configure the Zoho Forms connector instance. Once configured, enable the connector sync.

During configuration, a webhook URL is generated in LeadSquared. Copy this URL and configure it in your Zoho Forms account. Once configured, the lead capture process is initiated.

4. Installation

You must first install and configure the Zoho Forms connector.

1. Navigate to Apps>Apps Marketplace.
2. Search for Zoho Forms, 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 Zoho Forms 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.

5. Admin Configuration

To continue the connector configuration, navigate to Apps>Zoho Forms.

5.1 Basic Settings

Enter the following details –

Property	Description
Lead Source	Enter the lead source through which the leads were captured (e.g., Zoho Forms, 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, 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 followed in your Zoho Forms 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 is used to identify the leads pushed from Zoho. 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 Criteria	If 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 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.
Enable Notification	To ensure notification emails are sent to the selected user when there’s a failed query, enable the  checkbox.

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

5.2 Entity Options

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

5.2.1 Lead/Contact Entity

Based on the Lead Capture Search By criteria (email Id, phone number, etc.), LeadSquared identifies and captures leads from your Zoho Forms 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 Zoho Forms account (but not in your LeadSquared account) will get created in LeadSquared. Leads that exist in both your data provider and LeadSquared accounts will get updated.
• Create only new record – Leads that only exist in your Zoho Forms account (but not in your LeadSquared account) will get created in LeadSquared.
• Update only existing record – Leads that exist in both your Zoho Forms account and LeadSquared accounts will get updated in LeadSquared.

5.2.2 Mapping

On the Mapping screen, the Zoho Forms 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 .
  • 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 Zoho Forms 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 .
  3. To delete a custom field, click .

Once you’re done, click Save & Next.

5.3 Generate Webhook URL

After you provide basic details and finish field mapping, a custom webhook URL is generated. To automate lead capture, copy this URL and configure it on your Zoho Forms account.

After you’ve set up the webhook, click More Actions, and enable the sync job. This ensures that through the webhook, lead data from Zoho Forms is pushed to LeadSquared.
