FAQ
Questions about Delete Lead.
What does the Delete Lead action do in Close?
Hard-deletes a lead and all associated contacts, activities, opportunities. Irreversible. For GDPR right-to-erasure compliance workflows; for soft removal that preserves activity history, change the lead status to "Archived" instead.
What inputs does Delete Lead require?
Required: Lead ID. 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 Delete Lead support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Lead inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Close's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
