  • Updated

Context

When you create an Automation, you can add an action to convert matched Leads to Contacts in Salesforce. This action allows you to automate the process to convert Salesforce Lead records matched to an Account to Contact records for that Account. See Understanding Lead to Account Matching.

The actions you can add depend on the member type (Account or Person) selected for an Automation. See Automation Actions
