Copying value from one field to another.

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

We here are trying to store two kinds of lead sources(via URL parameters, utm_source) namely:

1. Lead Source

2. Recent Lead Source

There is a check in my smart campaign which is:

"If Lead Source is empty"

The subsequent action which I want to achieve is to map Recent Lead Source's value into Lead Source.

Is there a way I can do this,i.e., copy the data from one column field (lead attribute) into another?

It would be great if you people could help me out with this.

Thanks!

Regards,

-Prabash.

Hi Prabash,

Create a trigger that checks for a change in Recent Lead Source and that Lead Source is empty. In the flow, use Change Data Value of Lead Source and set the value to "{{lead.Recent Lead Source}}" (without the quotes) and allow leads to go through it only once.

Thanks a lot Andy! Works brilliantly

No problem.

Forgot to add, you should also enable Block Field Updates on Lead Source. It will still allow the lead source to be populated but not overwritten and updated.

Yes Andy, shall surely do that !

Have you... tried anything?  Change Data Value is the flow step.  It supports tokens in the new value.  That's how you maintain history fields.
