Well what I know through Sufi followers in my acquaintance, Amir khusro was the first who influenced non-muslims in large. He used dholki to gather people and “preached” them.

Khusro lived in Delhi during the period from late 13th to early 14th century. There was already a lot of conversion of Hindus to Islam due to influence of sufis like Fariduddin Ganjshakar, Bakhtiyar Kaki and Moinuddin Chishti (predecessors of Nizam u din Auliya, the peer of Khusro). BTW, Fariddun Ganj shakar was a sufi poet and his poetry was later included in Sikh’s Garanth.
