Create an opportunity

View as Markdown
Create an opportunity, optionally linked to an existing lead. **custom.FIELD_ID** (optional): Set custom fields by setting `custom.FIELD_ID` to the field value, where FIELD_ID is the ID of the custom field, e.g.: ```json { "custom.cf_v6S011I6MqcbVvB2FA5Nk8dr5MkL8sWuCiG8cUleO9c": "value", "custom.cf_8wtBWsdRU2Fur7GDnEeXQ7ra2Vu7R4hG1SNYdiEhh0F": "other value" } ``` If a custom field has `accepts_multiple_values: true`, the entire value will be replaced. For example, given an Opportunity has a Custom Choice Field with value `["A", "B"]`, adding choice `"C"` would mean setting the value to `["A", "B", "C"]`. Note that using the `custom` field dict or the `custom.FIELD_NAME` syntax (instead of custom field IDs) is deprecated and will be removed from the API. See [Custom Fields](https://developer.close.com/api/resources/custom-fields) for more details.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.

If not set on the resource or in the request, date_won will be set automatically to today’s date when setting status_id to a status with type won. The x-tz-offset header, used to pass your timezone’s UTC offset, will be taken into account.

lead_idstring or nullOptional

Opportunities belong to exactly one Lead. If not provided, a new lead will be created (appearing as “Untitled” in the UI).

Specify which pipeline this opportunity should belong to. When supplied without status_id, the opportunity will be created with the first available status of that pipeline. When supplied with status_id, the status must belong to the specified pipeline or a 400 error will be returned. If the pipeline does not exist, a 400 error will be returned. See the Pipelines API.

Post a status_id to create an opportunity with a specific status. If omitted, the organization’s default (first) status will be used (or the first status of the pipeline_id if provided). See the Opportunity Status API.
