Copying lead data into your Close database is slow and tedious. And in sales, your time is too precious for tasks meeting those descriptions. Use automation to beef up your lead management process; you can start by using this template.

- Zaps — automated workflows
- Canvas — a diagramming tool that helps you visualize your workflows
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.
