FAQ

Questions about Create Account.

What does the Create Account action do in Salesforce?

Creates a new Account (company) record in Salesforce with name, website, industry, owner, and any custom fields. Used to mirror your CRM's source-of-truth accounts into SFDC.

What inputs does Create Account require?

Required: Account Name. 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 Create Account support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Account inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Salesforce's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
