Operations involved to set up

Student Onboarding From Close CRM

When a student deal closes in Close CRM, this workflow validates data, routes them by program tier, and syncs records to Airtable.

What it does

You get students instantly routed into their correct program tier with validated data as soon as a deal closes in Close CRM. This process automatically creates records in Airtable, invites them to your Mighty Networks community, sets up their Intercom support profile, and notifies your team via Slack without manual effort.

How it works

When it runs: Triggered by an event · Event · on deal closed in Close CRM
How hands-off: Assists you, you do the final step
Setup: A bigger project · a few focused days
Works with: Close CRM, Airtable, Mighty Networks, Intercom, Slack

Tools that fit

Close CRM : Trigger and fetch student data

Airtable : Store student records

Mighty Networks : Send community invites

Intercom : Create support contacts

Slack : Notify team of success or errors

Watch out for

Webhook retries can cause duplicate student records, so add a deduplication check using email hashes before creating new entries.
Mighty Networks invites may fail if the user is already a member, so implement a try-catch block that logs the error but continues the workflow.
Intercom contact creation requires a unique external_id, so ensure you map this field correctly to avoid overwriting existing support profiles.
Slack notifications might miss critical details if the payload structure changes, so validate all required fields exist before sending the message.
