FAQ

Questions about Create Person.

What does the Create Person action do in Attio?

Creates a new person with email as the dedupe key, optional company association, custom fields. Attio's flexible data model means person records can have any custom attributes the workspace has configured — pass them all in one call.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Attio returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Attio returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Person support batch operations?

Run Create Person inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Attio's rate limits.
