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

Potential customers reach out by email, but adding their details to the CRM can get lost between conversations and other work.

  • Reduce manual copying from prospect emails into Close.
  • Keep available company and contact details together in a lead record.
  • Spend less time switching between Gmail and Close.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Close once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Describe that clear new prospect inquiries should become Close leads, using only details present in the email.
  • 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real prospect email and review the created lead.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new email create a lead?

Describe in the instruction which messages count as prospect inquiries. Notis can assess the email content, but the trigger starts on a new Gmail message.

What if the email does not include a company name or phone number?

The instruction can tell Notis to use only details present in the message. Missing details may remain unavailable.

Does this check for an existing Close lead first?

The listed action creates a lead. This workflow does not promise duplicate detection or a search of existing Close records.
