ActionCloseUpdated September 2026
How do I delete a Close lead?
Short answer: You can delete lead in Close by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Close Delete Lead action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Lead ID lead_id | string | Required | Lead ID. Example: lead_abc123 |
Sample request
{"lead_id": "e.g. lead_abc123"}
Returns
{"success": true}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

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 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 Delete Lead support batch operations?
Run Delete 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.
