VTiger

Overview

Signals reads potentials, leads and accounts from VTiger on a schedule and sends the fields you mapped on to your ad platforms.

VTiger calls deals Potentials. Potentials and Leads are the two modules most often used for conversion reporting, and Contacts and Accounts are the ones used for audience building.

Prerequisites

• A VTiger account holding the records you intend to sync, in the module you intend to read: Potentials, Leads, Contacts or Accounts. The fields you intend to map must already exist.
• Administrator access to your VTiger account, on a plan that includes API access. You need it to generate the access key Signals connects with and to grant read access to the records you map.
• A single-select field on the module you sync holding each record’s stage, such as New, Contacted, Qualified, Won or Lost. Each value maps to a conversion event, so a record left on a stale stage reports the wrong one.

Authentication

In Studio, open Sources, find the CRM category, and click the VTiger tile. This connector authenticates with credentials you add manually. Enter the following, then continue.

Field	Where to find it
Vtiger Instance URL	The address you use to reach VTiger.
Vtiger Username	The VTiger user you are connecting as.
Vtiger Access Key	The user advanced options section of your VTiger preferences.

Caution

The access key belongs to the user it was taken from and carries that user’s access. Enter it on the Datahash connection screen only, and take it from a service user rather than a person’s account so the connection does not break when they leave.

Configuration

Instance Setup

Select the Integration Type based on where the data needs to be sent. The options are Offline Events, Audience, Meta CAPI CRM, Google Leads, TikTok Leads, Snapchat Leads and LinkedIn Leads. The choice decides which fields you are asked to map and which destinations the connection can feed, so settle it first. Then choose the VTiger module Signals reads from, one of Potentials, Leads, Contacts or Accounts, and give the instance a name. Only modules the connection can see will appear in the list.

Field mapping

Map your VTiger fields onto the schema Signals expects. Each field is a dropdown of your own fields, so nothing has to be renamed in the CRM. What you are asked to map depends on the integration type.

Group	Fields
Configuration	Event name, event time, last modified date, lead lifecycle stage.
Personal information	Email, phone, first name, last name, city, state, country, postcode, gender, date of birth, Facebook click ID, Google click ID, OpenAI identifier, source URL.
Product	Total value, currency, product type, name, category, ID, brand, price, quantity, transaction ID, number of items.

Test connection

Click Test Connection before finishing. It checks both that the credentials still work and that the mapped fields actually contain data, so a mapping pointed at an empty field fails here rather than silently later.

Manage instance

One instance is configured for one module. To read another module, configure it on a new instance from the Manage existing instance table. To change an existing one, open it from the Manage existing instance table, click the edit option in the menu to the top right, update the fields and click Finish.

Data & identifiers

Only the fields you map are read. Personal identifiers are normalized and SHA-256 hashed before they are sent to any destination.

Email, phone, name and location are what destinations match on. Value, currency and product fields describe the conversion rather than the person, so they do not affect match rates.

Best practices

• If you map a platform lead ID such as the Meta Lead ID, keep that field as text. A numeric field truncates long IDs, which is the most common cause of lead conversions never matching.
• Ensure the module holds personal information such as email address and phone number. Destinations weight these highest, so records without them match at a much lower rate.
• Maintaining consistent formatting in VTiger helps match rates: email addresses in lowercase, phone numbers in E.164 format, and no trailing spaces.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Match rates are low. Map more identifiers and fix formatting at source. A hash only matches if both sides normalized the value the same way.
