Step 1: Request login information from LeadDesk

Before you connect LeadDesk to Plecto, you need to request login information from LeadDesk.

  1. Send an email to support@leaddesk.com and ask for SQL Reporting Server login details for use with Plecto – you will have to use the login details when creating a MySQL data source in Plecto. LeadDesk will also want to know our public IP addresses for whitelisting.

  2. After having received an email reply, you can retrieve the login information. Follow the directions in the email.

You should receive a response in the following format. Use this information to integrate LeadDesk with Plecto in Step 2.

{"username":"1234_name","password":"password_here","hostname":"hostname_here"}
