Documentation describing the API provided by the Deals service.

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.

Upsert a deal

POST /v2/deals/upsert

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.

Behaviour:

  1. If multiple deals match a set of filters, the request will return an error - 409.
  2. If a single deal matches, then the existing deal is updated
  3. If none matches the query, a new deal is created

Notice Use Upsert API, instead of Create or Update, to avoid creating unwanted, duplicated records. Also very useful if you want Sell to carry external system ids - stored as custom fields.
