Move contact to pipeline status

Identifier and availability

  • Type: action
  • Stable identifier: move_to_pipeline_status
  • Status: Selectable — available in the new-node selector and importable.

Purpose

Moves the contact to a selected pipeline status.

Prerequisites and context

Required configuration: pipeline, pipeline_status. Runtime requires a contact in context.

Parameters

JSON path Type Required Default Allowed values Description
pipeline pipeline_reference Yes — — Exact Pipeline name in the importing tenant.
pipeline_status pipeline_status_reference Yes — — Exact Pipeline Status name within the selected Pipeline.

Unknown parameter and settings keys are rejected. Resource references use names, emails, document keys, or endpoints rather than database IDs.

Inputs and available variables

This node declares no additional variable groups. The always-available date group and context inherited from its path still apply.

Templated strings use double braces, for example {{contact.first_name}}. Availability in the editor does not create runtime context; the trigger and preceding branch still need to provide it.

Connections and branches

This is a sequential action with no branch ports. A root placement uses from set to null and branch set to actions; a branch placement uses the branching action key and branch token. Use a 1-based order within that path.

Connection fragment:

{
    "from": null,
    "to": "action_move_to_pipeline_status",
    "branch": "actions",
    "order": 1
}

Valid JSON node example

{
    "key": "action_move_to_pipeline_status",
    "type": "action",
    "name": "move_to_pipeline_status",
    "display_name": null,
    "parameters": {
        "pipeline": {
            "name": "Sales"
        },
        "pipeline_status": {
            "name": "New Lead"
        }
    }
}

Validation and runtime caveats

The node runs only after its Automation is explicitly reviewed, published, and active.
