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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Lead support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Lead inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Close's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
