How do I create a Salesforce opportunity?
Short answer: You can create salesforce opportunity in Salesforce by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Salesforce Create Salesforce Opportunity action to a workflow, map its 8 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 Salesforce Opportunity.
What does the Create Salesforce Opportunity action do in Salesforce?
Creates an opportunity tied to an account with amount, stage, close date, owner. For "qualified lead → create opportunity in the right pipeline" workflows.
What inputs does Create Salesforce Opportunity require?
Required: Opportunity Name, Stage, Close Date. 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 Salesforce returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Salesforce 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 Salesforce Opportunity support batch operations?
Run Create Salesforce 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 Salesforce's rate limits.
