Create a Close lead from a new Canvas course

A new course can signal a new program, customer initiative, or partnership opportunity. Capture it in Close with the context you want to preserve.

Trigger

New Course Created for User

Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.

Action

Create Lead

This tool creates a new lead in close crm. it allows users to create a lead with basic company information and optional contact details, including company name, description, website url, lead status, contacts, and addresses. it operates by sending a request to the api endpoint /lead/ on the close crm platform.

Why this helps

Course launches can surface opportunities, but copying details into a CRM adds another task when you are already setting up the course.

  • Keep course details with the relevant sales record.
  • Capture new opportunities without switching apps.
  • Add organization or contact context when it is available.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Close once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Describe how to turn a new course into a Close lead, including any organization or contact context Notis should use.
  • 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real course and check the resulting lead in Close.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new course become a lead?

The automation runs for the selected Canvas course-created event. State in your instruction which courses represent opportunities and how to handle missing organization details.

Does Canvas always provide company or contact details?

The event description only guarantees a newly created course for a specific user. Provide any additional organization or contact context in your instruction, or ask Notis to leave those details out.
