How Close works with Curviate

Curviate keeps Close in step with LinkedIn: accepted invitations become records, replies land on the timeline and Close lists can start a Motion. Connect the two through n8n, Make or Zapier, or with a few lines of code against both APIs.

What you can build

Three flows teams set up first. Each one takes a few minutes.

Accepted invites become Close records

When someone accepts your invitation, they are created or updated in Close with their LinkedIn profile.

connection.accepted

Replies on the timeline

Each LinkedIn reply is logged on the matching Close record, so the whole team sees it.

message.received

Close lists start a Motion

Records you mark in Close are added to a Motion and get their first LinkedIn touch.

Set up Close with Curviate

Everything runs on two things Curviate gives every account: signed webhooks out and a REST API in.

1
Copy your Curviate API key
In the Curviate dashboard, open Settings, then API & Webhooks, and copy your key.
# keep it in your tool's credentials, never in plain text
CURVIATE_API_KEY=cvt_live_••••3f9a
2
Connect Close to your automation
Sign in to Close inside n8n, Make or Zapier, or create an API key in Close if you write your own code.
3
Send Curviate events to it
Point a Curviate webhook at an n8n, Make or Zapier webhook trigger, or at your own endpoint. Each webhook covers one source: messaging for replies, user for accepted invitations, motion for Motion outcomes, account_status for account alerts.
curl https://api.curviate.com/v1/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CURVIATE_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "source": "messaging",
    "events": ["message.received"],
    "account_ids": ["acc_…"],
    "request_url": "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/…"
  }'
4
Write to Close
Add the Close step your tool offers, such as creating or updating a record, and map the fields from the Curviate event.
# what your tool receives
{ "event": "connection.accepted",
"data": { "account_id": "acc_…", "occurred_at": "2026-10-17T09:12:00Z", … } }
5
Send Close records into a Motion
Trigger on a change in Close, then add each person to Curviate and start your Motion.
# add the person as a contact
POST https://api.curviate.com/v1/contacts
{ "linkedin_url": "linkedin.com/in/lenaweber", "first_name": "Lena" }

# start your Motion for them
POST https://api.curviate.com/v1/motions/mot_…/contacts
{ "contact_ids": ["con_…"] }

API reference

Questions about Curviate x Close

Do I need a developer?

No. n8n, Make and Zapier all have Close steps, so you can connect the two without code. Developers can call the Curviate API and Close’s API directly.

Can a Close list start a Motion?

Yes. Add the list’s people to Curviate and start the Motion in the same flow; people already in another Motion can be skipped automatically.

What can I see in Close afterwards?

Whatever you map: new connections as records, replies on the timeline and Motion outcomes as fields for your reports.
