How do I add a Close lead?

Short answer: You can create lead in Close by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Close Create Lead action to a workflow, map its 7 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Lead.

What does the Create Lead action do in Close?

Creates a new lead (company-level record) in Close CRM with contacts, addresses, custom fields. Close's lead-first model means each company is one lead, with multiple contacts nested. The standard hook for "B2B form submission → push to Close" sync workflows.

What inputs does Create Lead require?

Required: Company Name. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

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 Close returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Close 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 Lead support batch operations?

Run Create Lead 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 Close's rate limits.
