Create Lead

Use Create Lead to prompt the user to create a new lead as part of a workflow process, or to automatically create a lead with predefined values and no user input. You can use this action only with records that have been created and attached to a workflow. This means you cannot use it with primary rules.

The table below describes the Create Lead fields on the Workflow Action Details screen.
