-18 Lead Rejected for Security Reasons
As a security measure, LeadByte rejects and does not store rejections for any leads which contain HTML elements or Script elements.
The lead will be rejected with a -18 message and you will NOT see this rejection in your System Rejections screen. We don't store these rejections for your own system health.
An alternative reason for your rejected leads not showing up in system rejections is if your campid is incorrect or your formatting is invalid, causing the system to be unable to read the campid. Rejected leads without a valid campid will not appear in system rejections.
While LeadByte as a platform is secure from attacks of this manner, your Users and your Buyers may not be!
As an example -
- A lead is pushed into LeadByte with a malicious script included in the lead data.
- LeadByte is unaffected by this script due to our security settings.
- The lead is then delivered to your Buyer's CRM which is then negatively impacted by the malicious script.
