Hello Everyone! 🎉

The Problem:
When creating a new Deal, it’s straightforward to pass the Lead ID to the Deal via a custom field, but there’s no native way to automatically link the new Deal’s ID back to the originating Lead.

The Solution:
I worked around this limitation by using a short Deluge script in a workflow that triggers after the creation of a new Deal. Here’s how it works:

1. While creating a Deal via Blueprint, I populate a custom field in the Deal (Lead_ID_before_conversion) with the Lead’s ID.
2. A workflow runs a Deluge script that:
   • Retrieves the Lead ID from the Deal’s custom field.
   • Updates the Lead with the ID of the newly created Deal.

Deluge Script:

void automation.FetchDealIDToMotherLead(int recordId)
    // Fetch the Deal record based on the passed ID in JSON format
    dealInfo = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Deals", recordId, "json");
    
    // Retrieve the Lead ID from the Lead_ID_before_conversion field
    leadIdJson = dealInfo.get("Lead_ID_before_conversion");
    
    if(leadIdJson != null)
    {
        // Extract the ID directly from the JSON object
        leadId = leadIdJson.get("id");
        
        // Update the Lead by setting the Deal_ID_after_conversion field to the current Deal ID
        leadMap = Map();
        leadMap.put("Deal_ID_after_conversion", recordId);
        updateLead = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Leads", leadId, leadMap);
    }
}

Steps to Implement:

1. While creating the Deal in your Blueprint, make sure the field Lead_ID_before_conversion is populated with the originating Lead’s ID.
   (I’attach a screenshot showing where to configure this in the Blueprint!)
2. 
   
3. Create an automated workflow for newly created Deals that triggers the Deluge script.
   

With this simple solution, you can effectively connect Leads to their Deals and streamline your data management! 😊
