What this helps you do

This guide shows the supported Pixie CRM route for convert a lead to a customer, the values worth reviewing and the checks to make after the action.

Follow these steps

  1. Open Lead → Convert to Customer in Pixie CRM.
  2. Start the task from that screen and select the correct customer, record, staff member or configuration context when Pixie CRM asks for one.
  3. Review the controls that matter for this task: Lead identity, Company or individual name, Primary contact, Customer group.
  4. Then check Assigned staff, Duplicate customer check. Use verified information and do not fill optional values with placeholders.
  5. Complete Convert a lead to a customer using the supported action on the screen. If Pixie CRM shows a validation message, correct the underlying value instead of bypassing the control.
  6. Save or submit the change and wait for the success or completed state before navigating away.
  7. Reopen the record, status, activity timeline or resulting document and verify that Pixie CRM recorded the outcome you intended.
