Update opportunity and lead status from activity record

Automatically map new custom activity of a configured type across Close and Zapier. Create and update when upsell renewal incomplete activities are logged, when lead ownership changes, or when opportunity matches are missingβ€”so you can keep lead records aligned, update opportunity status, and assign the right owner without manual pipeline reconciliation.

How this automation keeps pipeline status aligned

When upsell or renewal activities are logged but lead and opportunity records drift, owners waste time correcting pipeline visibility. This automation captures the activity, updates the lead, and finds, creates, or updates the opportunityβ€”so your team can act on accurate status.

  1. 1.Detect new custom activity

    Integrate Close and analytics tools to map the activity to its lead reference and capture key activity fields to triage the record.
