Lead

The lead object stores information on a company or individual with whom an opportunity can be created. It allows the user to identify the companies that might be interested in a product or service. Leads are usually generated as part of a marketing campaign.

NOTE:  A PrimaryAddressLine1 field is used to dynamically map the primary address field from an external application to the primary address field in Oracle CRM On Demand. For more information, see Mapping Primary Address Fields Using Web Services.

Qualifying Leads

In calls to the Execute method, you can specify operations to qualify, reject, or archive leads as follows:

• <Lead operation="Qualify">
• <Lead operation="Reject">
• <Lead operation="Archive">

If the call is successful, the value of the Status field changes accordingly. For more information about qualifying leads, see Oracle CRM On Demand Online Help.

NOTE:  The qualify, reject, and archive functionality is not available as an operation in the Lead WSDL file.
