Agents for Close

Pump Up connects AI agents to Close CRM to analyze leads, deals, and communication activities for revenue operations. Rather than running unverified automated outreach or bulk sequences, agents read parent lead records, associated opportunities, and separate timeline activities—such as emails, calls, and notes. The agent flags discrepancies, drafts follow-ups or opportunity updates, and stops for human approval before applying changes to Close.

When to use it

Revenue operations teams, sales leaders, and account managers using Close who want automated deal and pipeline analysis without sacrificing human oversight.

Example scenario

During a closed-lost audit for a $24,000 SaaS contract, the opportunity status in Close was marked as 'Lost - Price Resistance.' However, recent email threads and meeting notes on the parent lead record revealed that the prospect repeatedly requested HIPAA compliance certifications that were never provided. The AI agent compared the activity timeline with the opportunity fields, flagged the discrepancy, and drafted an update to recategorize the loss reason to 'Product / Security Gap.' Instead of overwriting Close data autonomously, the agent routed the comparison packet to the sales manager, who approved the correction and assigned a product-marketing follow-up task directly on the Close lead.

Getting started

  • Generate a restricted Close API key or configure OAuth authorization in settings
  • Map opportunity pipeline stages, custom fields, and lost reason codes to agent schemas
  • Designate human approvers for pipeline edits, customer outreach, and account reassignments
  • Define activity lookback windows and communication filtering criteria for timeline audits

Common questions

Can AI agents automatically enroll Close contacts into automated email sequences?

No. While Close provides automated email sequence capabilities, Pump Up workflows intentionally require explicit human authorization before sending customer messages or enrolling contacts in outbound sequences.

How does Close organize parent leads, contacts, opportunities, and activities?

In Close, other records are children of a Lead. Fetching a lead includes its contacts and opportunities by default, but activities such as emails, calls, and notes are excluded and must be retrieved separately via activity endpoints.

What permissions does an agent need to update Close opportunities?

The agent requires API read access to leads, opportunities, and activities, plus scoped write permissions for opportunities and lead notes. External changes should always be gated by human approval.

How are custom fields handled when updating Close records?

Custom fields in Close are identified by specific custom field IDs (custom.cf_xxx) on the lead or opportunity object. Workflows must map these field IDs explicitly during initial setup.
