Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

A new lead is added
A lead created in Close, within seconds. Close pauses a subscription after three days of failed deliveries; the run history shows the silence.
Create a record
Add one row to a table. Field names must match the table’s columns.

  2. App stepCreate a record

What each client fills in

Airtable: Base ID
From the base’s URL: airtable.com/appXXXX/…
Airtable: Table
For example Leads

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

  • Close

    In the client’s Close: Settings → Developer → API Keys → Create API Key.

  • Airtable

    airtable.com/create/tokens → Create token → scopes data.records:write and data.records:read (lookups and the triggers) → add the client’s base → copy the token.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

  1. Connect the client’s Close, for “A new lead is added”
  2. Connect the client’s Airtable, for “Create a record”
  3. Fill in Airtable: Base ID (From the base’s URL: airtable.com/appXXXX/…)
  4. Fill in Airtable: Table (For example Leads)
  5. Match Airtable’s fields to the client’s own: Lead ID, Created by user ID, Created at
