Greetings Everyone,

I have Lead v2 objects that we need to convert to and individual using the API. Below are the specific requirements for us.

1. Need to create an Individual.
2. We do not desire to create a "Contact" or "Opportunity".
3. Normal processing assigns the "Lead Owner" as the "Account Manager"; however, for the created individual we need the "Account Manager" to be blank, as we assign this differently later (i.e., still retaining the "Lead Owner" within the Lead).
4. Assume any Lead UDFs are sent over to the Individual according to Lead conversion settings.
5. We have a "valid" and "defined" web hook that fires when the Lead is converted through the GUI; when converting through the API is this web hook still fired (assume not)?

Could you supply an example API call for the requirements above (1 - 3)? And advise. The "payload" sample has values for the Lead and Individual and a "Rules" object that do not seem to apply in our case when converting an "existing" Lead.

As always, thanks,

Joe
