Create a company
Create a company creates a new company record in your CRM. Use it to automatically create companies from webhook data, form submissions, or other external sources.
How it works
- The automation reaches the Create a company step
- The step creates a new company record using the fields you configured
- The new company is brought into scope for downstream steps
- Company-scoped actions become available in subsequent steps
info
This action does not check for duplicate companies. If you want to avoid duplicates, use a Find company step first with an If/else branch to check whether a matching company already exists.
Set up the action
- Open the automation builder and add a new step
- Under Businesses, select Create a company
- Configure the fields:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Company name | Yes | The name for the new company record. |
| Additional fields | No | Additional CRM fields to populate on the new company. |
tip
Use Add dynamic content to populate fields from previous steps — for example, pull a company name from a webhook payload or form submission.
Outputs
After the step runs, the new company record is available in scope. Downstream steps can act on it directly via Add dynamic content.
