Deals

Please be aware, that the type of deal value has been recently changed to reflect the implementation of deal decimal values. If a deal value has no decimal part (1000.0), it will be returned as integer (1000) as before. If a deal has a decimal part (1000.50), it will be returned as string with two decimal places (1000.50).

The Deals API provides a simple interface to manage deals. The API allows you to create, delete and update your deals. You can also retrieve a single deal as well as list of all deals. Every deal can have multiple associated contacts, each with a different role.

You can assign any number of tags and custom fields to a deal. Tags don’t need to exist to be assigned - they can be created when creating or updating the deal.

The organization_id is set automatically when you associate a deal with a primary contact which belongs to a company.

Create a new deal or update an existing, based on a value of a filter or a set of filters. At least a single filter - query parameter - is required. If no parameters are present, the request will return an error.
