Wrong lead type created in Salesforce

[RichardRuben]

Describe the problem/error/question

I have an automation creating leads in Salesforce based on an incoming email. We generally have 2 different types of leads/accounts. Person Accounts and Company Accounts. We do create a "person" lead and the lead is being created correctly. But when we want to convert this lead it is trying to create a "Company" Account and this cannot be changed. How do I create the "correct" lead, so I can also convert this customer successfully.

What is the error message (if any)?
