Create deal

customers.CreateDealWriteAPI key

Create a deal and return the saved record.

POST/v1/operations/customers.CreateDeal
On this page

Access & visibility

Allow customers.CreateDeal on your API key. Resource read permissions: core:Deal. Resource write permissions: core:Deal.

Workspace access by default. Private member data requires approved member delegation through Brigg-Act-As; the key supplies permissions while private ownership and project boundaries remain enforced.

Request fields

Send a JSON object with the following fields. Required fields must be included; omit optional fields you do not need.

dataDealRequired

The record's fields.

Deal
Opportunity5 fields
titlestringRequired

Name of the sales opportunity.

stagestringRequired

A stage id from the org's own sales pipeline, in funnel order: lead = Lead, qualified = Qualified, proposal = Proposal, negotiation = Negotiation, won = Won (won), lost = Lost (lost). The list is the org's to change — the pipeline is the core:SalesPipeline entry (edit its stages to add, rename, reorder or re-weight a stage; the ids here follow).

Allowed: "lead", "qualified", "proposal", "negotiation", "won", "lost".

expected_close_datestringOptional

Expected date the opportunity will be won or lost, in YYYY-MM-DD format.

descriptionstringOptional

Business context for the sales opportunity.

lost_reasonstringOptional

Reason recorded when the opportunity is lost.

Value2 fields
amount_oreintegerOptional

Value of the opportunity in Norwegian øre. 1000000 is NOK 10,000. Deals are NOK-only; do not supply another currency.

product_linesarray of objectOptional

Products or services proposed in this deal, with quantities, prices and billing frequency.

Item fields
product_refstringOptional

Product record ID.

namestringRequired

Display name.

descriptionstringOptional

Descriptive text.

quantitynumberOptional

Number of units. May be fractional when the product allows it.

Minimum: 0.

unitstringOptional

Unit used for the quantity, such as hours or items.

unit_price_oreintegerOptional

Price per unit in Norwegian øre; 100000 is NOK 1,000. Product lines use NOK only.

agreed_atnumberOptional

Time the commercial terms were agreed, in Unix milliseconds.

agreed_deal_refstringOptional

Deal record ID.

revenue_typestringOptional

Whether this amount is charged once or repeats monthly, quarterly or annually.

Allowed: "one_time", "monthly", "quarterly", "annual".

start_datestringOptional

ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD)

end_datestringOptional

ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD)

Relationships4 fields
company_refstringOptional

ID of a core:Company record. Find it with customers.ListCompanies and use the top-level id. This is not an account ID or a display name.

contact_refstringOptional

ID of a core:Person record. Find it with customers.ListPeople and use the top-level id. This is not an account ID or a display name.

owner_refstringOptional

ID of a core:Person record. Find it with customers.ListPeople and use the top-level id. This is not an account ID or a display name.

tagsarray of stringOptional

Stable tag keys, not labels. Use List tag vocabularies to find the vocabulary for this resource type and field, then List tags for its key/label pairs.

privatebooleanOptional

Defaults to false: the record is shared with the workspace. True assigns private ownership to the approved acting member and requires member delegation. This is independent of created_by provenance.

Choose ownership deliberately

Omitting private, or setting it to false, creates a workspace-shared record. Set private: true to create a record owned by the approved acting member. Private records require member delegation; a workspace-only credential cannot own a personal record. The credential’s exact resource grants authorize the write; private ownership and project membership remain enforced.

A create is a new record, not an upsert. Reuse the same idempotency key only for retries of that logical creation. For recurring synchronization, use the resource’s upsert operation when available: it matches a permanent external reference. Otherwise keep the returned record ID and use the corresponding update operation for subsequent changes.

Response

Returns 200 OK with a JSON body.

Record metadata sits outside data. Timestamps created_at and updated_at are Unix milliseconds. Optional business fields may be absent; absence does not mean false or zero. A field accepts null only when its type includes null.

The public schema lists accepted stage IDs. Labels are presentation text; use the stable stage ID in calls.

itemDealRecordRequired

The requested record, including its metadata and data fields.

DealRecord
idstringRequired

Stable core:Deal record ID. Keep this top-level value when reading or referring to this record. Available actions are linked under Next steps; an ID does not imply the resource can be edited.

created_atnumberRequired

Time the record was created, in Unix milliseconds.

updated_atnumberRequired

Time the record most recently changed, in Unix milliseconds. Use with overlapping windows for incremental reads.

created_bystring or nullRequired

Account that originally created the record, or null for a workspace/system-originated record. This is provenance, not its current owner or a Person record ID.

privatebooleanRequired

True for a member-owned private record. An API key needs approved delegation to that owner; false alone does not bypass resource grants or other access rules.

dataDealRequired

The record's fields.

Deal
Opportunity5 fields
titlestringRequired

Name of the sales opportunity.

A stage id from the org's own sales pipeline, in funnel order: lead = Lead, qualified = Qualified, proposal = Proposal, negotiation = Negotiation, won = Won (won), lost = Lost (lost).

contact_refstringOptional

ID of a core:Person record. Find it with customers.ListPeople and use the top-level id. This is not an account ID or a display name.

owner_refstringOptional

Errors & retries

Set BRIGG_REQUEST_ID once for each logical action. The samples send it as Idempotency-Key. Reuse the same value and body on retries, including after a timeout; a missing response does not prove the action failed.

For rate limits, follow the server’s retry guidance and back off. See HTTP errors and safe retries and limits.

HTTP status Code What to do
400 invalid_json Send a JSON object with Content-Type: application/json.
400 invalid_input Check the request fields and types. Supply a stable Idempotency-Key containing 1–200 characters.
401 invalid_key The workspace API key is missing, invalid or revoked.
403 forbidden Check the key’s operation and resource grants. If Brigg-Act-As is supplied, the key must be authorized to delegate to that member.
404 not_found The requested operation or resource is not available to this credential.
429 rate_limited Wait for Retry-After before retrying. Reuse the original Idempotency-Key.
