Hi there!
I’m trying to set up a zap that would convert a Lead to a Contact in Salesforce.
I’m looking for a zap action that would replicate what I do manually when clicking ‘Convert’ on a Salesforce Lead:

-Choosing the Account the Contact will be attached to based on the domain of the Lead → possible through the ‘Create Contact’ action
-Naming the Contact → possible through the ‘Create Contact’ action
-Choosing the record owner → possible through the ‘Create Contact’ action
-Choosing a Converted Status → possible through the ‘Create Contact’ action
Then, upon clicking ‘Convert’, Salesforce will mark the Lead as converted and make a link between the converted Lead and the resulting records.
So I would also need to update the Lead with:
-Marking the Lead as converted → I did not find the option to update the field IsConverted in the ‘Update Lead’ action
-Filling in the Converted Date → I did not find the option to update the field Converted Date in the ‘Update Lead’ action
-Filling in the Converted Contact Id → I did not find the option to update the field ConvertedContactId in the ‘Update Lead’ action
Does anyone have an idea on how to maintain the link between the original Lead and the converted Contact created from it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
