How do I create an Insightly opportunity?
Short answer: You can create insightly opportunity in Insightly by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Insightly Create Insightly Opportunity 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 Create Insightly Opportunity.
What does the Create Insightly Opportunity action do in Insightly?
Creates a sales opportunity with name, bid amount, currency, pipeline, stage. Useful for "qualified lead → auto-create opportunity in pipeline" workflows.
What inputs does Create Insightly Opportunity require?

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 Insightly returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Insightly 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 Create Insightly Opportunity support batch operations?
Run Create Insightly Opportunity 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 Insightly's rate limits.
