Auto Incrementing Custom Field.

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Could you guys help me out with a custom field creation, that gets auto incremented  ? As in, using that field in a smart campaign and every time a lead flows through that campaign, this custom field's value gets incremented by 1 automatically, basically to maintain a count ?

Thank You !

Prabash Rath.

To create a shared counter, use a resource lead. Search the Community for more.

Sanford Whiteman I am trying to find more details about 'resource lead', but could not find anything related. Can you please point me to the right links? Or would be great if you can share some details on that here itself.

I might have searched wrong way. Thanks for sharing this. Will reach out if I need more details.

You can create a custom field on each lead that will increment each time that lead goes through the campaign.  You would just use a field of the type score.

Fo the campaign itself this is not possible, but all leads that go through the campaign will be tracked and can be reported on.

+1 to Jamie Lewis​'s suggestion.

I think it's too seldom recognized that you can use score fields to keep track of anything you want to, not to calculate a lead score. There are many tracking and other operational uses they can have.
