What does the Create Person action do in Pipedrive?

Creates a new person (contact) in Pipedrive with name, email, phone, organization, owner, and any custom fields. Used to push inbound leads into the CRM.

What inputs does Create Person require?

Required: Full Name. 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 Pipedrive returns an error?
