Create a touchpoint from a lead
Create a touchpoint to log a customer interaction directly from a lead record.
Before you begin
- The CRM Touchpoints plugin (sn_crm_touchpoint) must be installed.

Role required: sn_crm_touchpoint.admin or sn_crm_touchpoint.touchpoint_writer
About this task
Touchpoints are interaction records that you associate with a specific lead. When you create a touchpoint from the lead, the system automatically links the touchpoint to that lead and populates customer context from the lead record.
Procedure
- In the CSM Configurable Workspace, select the List
view.
Navigate to Leads > All and open the lead record.
In the lead header, select Create > Touchpoint.
Note: The Create button is only visible when you have permission to create CRM Touchpoints and the lead is in a non-closed state.
In the touchpoint form, complete the required fields.
The following fields are automatically set and can't be edited:
- Associated entity: set to Lead
- Associated record: set to the lead number
- Category: set to Pre-Sales
- Owner: set to the user creating the touchpoint
- Account: set from the lead account if available, and read-only
- Contact: set from the lead contact if available, and read-only If the lead account or contact changes, the system updates the account and contact on all non-closed touchpoints associated with that lead.
Select Save.
Result
The touchpoint is created and linked to the lead. It appears in the Touchpoints tab of the lead record.
What to do next
To view all touchpoints for the lead, select the Touchpoints tab.
