Hi Team,

We have a number of custom fields in Leads which we need to convert to the contact record when the lead is converted.

This does not happen at the moment. Is there a field link that I'm missing in the database which shows which Lead the Contact record came from?

I could then create the sql to pump the data across the database tables

Secondly, Is there a way to run straight through sql queries in the vTiger application?

Cheers
Bernard

Hi Bernard,

You will have to map the custom fields using Settings > Custom Fields > Custom Field Mapping

[This option is available when Leads module is selected]

Map the lead's custom field with contact's custom field, this information will be used during lead conversion.

Hi Prasad,
I got it thanks,

Is the accountname the only fields which would link between Leads and Contacts?

You didn't answer my question about straight-through queries


Cheers
Bernard
