Where Lusha Prospecting and Salesforce don’t line up

Phone 2 +44 20 7946 0849

2

No lead source or lead status in the export

Lusha Prospecting's export has no lead source or lead status column. Lead Status is a picklist: a value that isn't in it goes in as it is, unless the picklist is restricted, when the field gets its default.

The template sets Lead Source to Lusha and Lead Status to Open - Not Contacted on every row. Change either, or drop them, before you import if your process differs.
