Identifying whether a Contact has been generated from a Lead in a PreContactCreate plugin

I've got a PreContactCreate plugin that fires on the Contact entity. This also gets fired when the 'Quantify' button is clicked on a Lead. Within the plugin in ExecutePreContactCreate(), how can I identify whether a Lead was quantified rather than for example, a new Contact was created directly in the Contact section of CRM?

RE: Identifying whether a Contact has been generated from a Lead in a PreContactCreate plugin

Hello,

There are couple of ways but as for me easiest is to check originatingleadid from contact like following:

var target = context.InputParameters["Target"] as Entity;

if (target.Contains("originatingleadid")

{

//your logic when contact is created during qualification

}

else

{

//other sources of creation of contact

}
