Field Mapping
Criteria Mapping
In this section, users can define which specific field should be used as the primary search key to retrieve company details from uSonar. This setting determines how the system queries uSonar to match and fetch relevant company data during the integration process.
- Company Name and Address are mandatory fields.
- Phone Number and Website fields are optional and can be configured as needed.
Field Mapping
The left section of the interface displays the available uSonar fields, while the right section allows users to map these fields to the corresponding fields in the selected Zoho CRM module. Users must ensure that each field is correctly mapped to facilitate accurate data transfer between uSonar and Zoho CRM. In the CRM section, only fields with specific data types and sizes are available for each uSonar field, as outlined in the section below. Once the necessary configurations are complete, click Done to configure the settings.
Note:
- The same configuration steps apply to both Leads and Accounts modules.
- In field mapping, data from uSonar will overwrite the corresponding fields in Zoho CRM. If a uSonar field is blank but the mapped CRM field contains a value, that value will be overwritten with a blank during integration process.

2. Synchronization
If the scheduler is enabled, the system will automatically update information in Zoho CRM whenever changes are made in uSonar. For example, if Company A has already been synced to Zoho CRM and certain fields are later updated in uSonar, the scheduler will detect these changes and sync the updated data to Zoho CRM automatically.
Only active and configured modules (Leads and/or Accounts) will be included in this scheduler.
Users can view the Status and Last Sync Time for reference.
Administrators also have the option to manually sync the latest company data by clicking Sync Now, which updates previously synced records with the most recent information from uSonar.
3. Additional Configuration
Admin users can set their preference for retrieving company details based on either the Official Name or Abbreviation of the company.
uSonar Widget
1. Accessing the Widget
After configuring the settings, users can access the uSonar widget within the Leads and Accounts modules.
The widget is available on the View Record page.
A uSonar button is displayed in the top-right corner of the record view.
Clicking this button allows users to fetch company details from the uSonar database.
2. Fetching Company Data
A pop-up displays search results, categorized as: Head Office, Branch Office, and Unknown Head Office.
Each entry includes: Business Name, Company Name, Industry, Address, and Zip code.
Select the appropriate company from the list and click Update to sync its details with the current Zoho CRM record.
If the desired company is not listed, users can use the search bar to find and link the correct company.
3. Syncing and Managing Data
Once a record has been synced, users can:
- Fetch the latest data using the Sync Now button.
- Remove synced data from the record if needed.
Field Mapping Enhancement in Version 10 (Optional)
In Version 10, we have introduced major improvements to field mapping functionality. Previously, fields were automatically created and mapped by the extension. With this update, users now have the flexibility to manually map fields based on their specific needs.
For customers upgrading from Version 9, previously configured fields will remain accessible and are automatically mapped in the settings. To retain these fields, users must activate them and click the Done button. Alternatively, field mappings can be updated to align with current requirements.
If you need to migrate data from existing fields to newly configured ones, please follow the steps outlined below.
Export Existing Data
Export your data along with the Record ID & LBC ID to ensure a smooth transition.
Refer to this guide for detailed export steps.
Modify the Exported File
Add a new column named "uSonar Data Synced" and set all values to "true" to indicate synced records.
Old Configured Fields Deletion (Optional)
