Insightly Classic is the old version of Insightly. It's not available to new accounts. Users on Insightly Classic can switch over to the latest version.
If a contact is created in Insightly but should have been entered as a lead, you can change the contact to a lead from the Actions menu. This will create a new lead and delete the original contact record.
This function is not available for bulk editing.
What is transferred to the lead?
- All default fields common to both contacts and leads, such as first name, last name, title and organization name, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
- Custom fields that are set up the exact same way for leads. This means the field name and data type (and values for lists) must be the same.
- Events, notes, and uploaded files.
- Links to emails and tasks.
What is not transferred to the lead?
- Custom fields that are set up for contacts, but not for leads.
- Links to other records. The linked records will remain intact, but won't be linked to the new lead.
To change a lead to a contact:
- View the contact, click the Actions menu.
- Select Change Contact To Lead. This will take you to a new lead page.
- Add or adjust any information, such as Lead Status or Lead Rating.
- Click the Save button to create the new lead and delete the original contact record.
