Create opportunity

Creates a new opportunity. The body must contain an object with a single property opportunity which must be an Opportunity object.

  • One or more tracks can be applied to the opportunity by including the relevant track ids in a tracks array. This is a convenient shortcut to apply tracks to new opportunities only, and tracks is not a field of Opportunity objects. Tracks can be specified using a definition object or the ID shorthand, or a mixture of both, as shown below.

  • When adding tags you can specify either the tags id or name. Use the List Opportunity Tags operation to get the list of tags already defined on your Capsule account.

  • To add a custom field you'll need to specify a definition id or name and a value. Use the List Field Definitions operation to get a list of the Opportunity fields defined on your Capsule account.

    • If you are identifying the custom field by name and the field belongs to a DataTag, you also need to specify the tag's id or name. For custom fields that don't belong to a DataTag you should explicitly state "tag": null.
