Overview
This node integrates with the Outseta CRM API to manage people records. Specifically, the Person - Create operation allows users to add a new person to their CRM database by providing essential contact details such as email, first name, and last name, along with optional additional information like phone numbers and timezone.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automatically adding new leads or contacts collected from web forms into the CRM.
- Syncing user registration data from other platforms into Outseta.
- Enriching CRM data by programmatically creating person entries during workflows.
For example, after a user signs up on a website, this node can create a corresponding person record in Outseta with their email and name, enabling further marketing or sales automation.
