FAQ

Questions about Update Lead.

What does the Update Lead action do in Close?

Partial update on lead fields — only passed fields change. For "Apollo enriched this lead → write back to Close" augmentation patterns and for "stage change in external system → reflect in Close" sync workflows.

What inputs does Update 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 Update Lead support batch operations?

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