How do I convert a Salesforce Lead to Account/Contact/Opportunity?

Short answer: You can convert lead in Salesforce by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Salesforce Convert Lead action to a workflow, map its 4 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 Convert Lead.

What does the Convert Lead action do in Salesforce?

Converts a Salesforce Lead into an Account, Contact, and (optionally) Opportunity, following standard SFDC lead-conversion rules. Used at the SQL/handoff step in your funnel automation.

What inputs does Convert Lead require?

Required: Lead ID, Converted Status. 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 Convert Lead support batch operations?

Run Convert 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 Salesforce's rate limits.
