FAQ

Questions about Create Note.

What does the Create Note action do in Salesforce?

Creates a Note linked to a parent Salesforce record (Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, etc.) with title and body. Used for AI summary notes or pulling context from external systems.

What inputs does Create Note require?

Required: Title, Body, Parent Record ID. 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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Note support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Note inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Salesforce's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
