How do I fetch a Salesforce Lead by ID?

Short answer: You can get lead in Salesforce by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Salesforce Get Lead action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Lead.

What does the Get Lead action do in Salesforce?

Retrieves a single Salesforce Lead record by ID with all of its standard and custom fields. The standard read after a lead trigger fires.

What inputs does Get Lead require?

Required: Lead 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 Get Lead support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get Lead inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Salesforce's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
