How Zapier's update lead form template works

This template creates a powerful, efficient lead management solution—all in Zapier.

Here's how it works:

• A user-friendly form in Interfaces captures all the essential lead information you need to add to Close.
• When someone submits the form, the data gets stored in a table, which helps you make sure all the information is accurate and organized before it's sent to Close.
• A Zap is triggered by the form submission, initiating the update process in Close.
• The Zap retrieves the lead information from the table and maps it to the corresponding fields in Close.
• Using the Close integration, the Zap then updates the lead record with the new data.
• If any custom fields or tags are included in the update, the Zap ensures these get correctly applied to the lead in Close.
• Once the update is done, the Zap can optionally trigger a notification to relevant team members, giving them a heads-up about the lead update.
• You can even visualize the whole process using Canvas, which helps you better understand the workflow, so you can modify it to your liking.
