If you're sending CRM events to LeadJourney using webhooks or Zapier, it's important to ensure that you're only sending data when a valid CLICKID is present.

Without a CLICKID, LeadJourney cannot match the conversion to a tracked session—and this will trigger errors in your logs.


🧠 Why a CLICKID Might Be Missing

A CLICKID is only created when a lead visits your website and is tracked by the LeadJourney Tracking Script.

Here are common situations where a lead won’t have a CLICKID:

  • The contact was added manually in your CRM (e.g. through a sales call or import)

  • The lead came from a non-website channel (e.g. offline lead, cold call, trade show)

  • You’ve just started using LeadJourney and are sending historic CRM data from before tracking was installed


✅ How to Prevent Errors

To avoid webhook or Zapier errors, add a filter to your automation flow:


🛠️ In Zapier:

Add a Filter step before your Webhook action:

  • Condition:
    CLICKIDExists (or) Is Not Empty

This ensures that only leads who were actually tracked on your website are sent to LeadJourney.


⚙️ In Custom Webhook Setups:

Add a simple check in your backend or automation tool:

javascriptKopierenBearbeitenif (lead.click_id && lead.click_id.trim() !== '') { // Send GET request to LeadJourney }

🚀 Best Practices

  • Always verify the CLICKID exists before sending data

  • Avoid sending legacy data without valid tracking context

  • Make sure your webhook/Zap only handles leads that came through your website

This keeps your integration clean and ensures that LeadJourney only receives accurate, matchable conversion data.
