Source Field Conversion in Zendesk: Lead to Contact

Learn what happens to the source field when converting a lead to a contact in Zendesk and how to retain this information.

What happens to the source field when converting a lead to a contact in Zendesk?

When you convert a lead into a contact in Zendesk, the source field does not carry over. This means that you won't be able to view all contacts added by a specific user by default.

To work around this, you can create a custom field for leads to store the source field value. This custom field can then be set up to transfer to the contact upon conversion, allowing you to retain that information. For more details, you can refer to the original article.
