FAQ
Questions about Company Created.
How does the Company Created trigger work in Copper?
Fires when a new company is created in the Copper CRM. Useful for "auto-enrich firmographic data via Clearbit/Apollo" workflows that augment the company record right after creation.
Is the Company Created trigger real-time?
Yes. Company Created uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Copper.
What data does Company Created return?
The full event payload from Copper. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Company Created so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Copper admin permissions to use Company Created?
For most Copper accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Copper plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Copper's docs if the trigger fails to register.
