Lead Source
LeadSource defines a list of values that are used by the customer record to set the source of the lead for this customer — such as an ad or website referral (see Customer).
If you use the Marketing Automation feature, the list of possible lead sources matches the titles of your marketing campaigns. Administrators can enable this feature at Setup > Company > Enable Features > CRM.
If you do not use the Marketing Automation feature, in the UI, a user-defined lead source list is defined at Setup > Sales > Setup Tasks > CRM Lists > New > Lead Source. Note the Marketing Automation feature must be turned off before you can create a user-defined lead source list.
For information about working with this record in the UI, see Lead Sources.
Supported Operations
The following operations can be used with the lead source record.
add | addList | delete | deleteList | getAll | getList | update | updateList | upsert | upsertList
You can also use the asynchronous equivalents of SOAP web services list operations. For information about asynchronous operations, see SOAP Web Services Asynchronous Operations. For more information about request processing, see Synchronous Versus Asynchronous Request Processing.
The getAll operation should be used to retrieve values of a list since the search operation does NOT exist for this record.
