How do I update a Close lead?

Short answer: You can update lead in Close by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Close Update Lead action to a workflow, map its 5 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 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 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 Update Lead support batch operations?

Run Update 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.
