How to Use Lead Conversion Data Mapping to Automatically Populate BD Rep Fields (CRM)

To populate the BD Rep field when a lead is assigned to a BD representative, you can use the Lead Conversion Data Mapping feature. This automatically transfers the 'Assigned To' owner to both the Account and Intake Opportunity when a lead is converted.

Before You Begin

  • Administrative Access: You must have Administrator permissions to access CRM Settings

  • Field Creation: Ensure the BD Rep field exists in both the Accounts and Intake Opportunities modules before attempting to map it

  • Matching Data Types: The 'Assigned To' field and BD Rep field should have compatible data types for proper mapping

Steps

1. Navigate to Lead Conversion Data Mapping Settings

Log in to your Dazos CRM instance and go to Settings > CRM Settings > Data Mapping > Lead Conversion Data Mapping.

2. Click the Add Mapping button in the top right corner of the mapping screen to unlock the fields for editing.

3. Create New Mapping for BD Rep Field
Select the "Assigned To" field on the Leads module and the "BD Rep" field on the Accounts and Intake Opportunities modules.

4. Save the Configuration

Verification / Expected Result

To verify the setup works correctly:

  1. Create or locate a test lead that has a BD representative assigned in the 'Assigned To' field

  2. Convert the lead to an Account and Intake Opportunity

  3. Open the newly created Account and Intake Opportunity records

  4. Confirm that the BD Rep field in both records now contains the same person who was assigned to the original lead

βœ… Success: The 'Assigned To' owner will automatically transfer to the BD Rep field in both the Account and Intake Opportunity whenever a lead is converted.

Troubleshooting / Common Errors

  • BD Rep Field Not Visible in Dropdown: Ensure you have created the BD Rep field in both the Accounts and Intake Opportunities modules before attempting to map it

  • Mapping Not Working: Verify that the field data types are compatible (Owner fields should map to Owner fields)

  • Empty Values After Conversion: Check that the original lead actually has a value in the 'BD Rep' field before conversion
