Close

Close supports customer-authorized CRM integrations and paginated record retrieval. Its event log extends change recovery to 30 days, with consolidated updates and a shorter payload-visibility window for non-administrators.

CUSTOMER CHOICE

Third-party accessibility

Customers generate API keys for integrations or authorize OAuth applications. Both inherit user access; OAuth does not provide granular resource scopes.

Third-party eligibilityCustomer authorization without discretionary provider approvalSource & scope ↗
Access cost barrier-Source & scope ↗
Downstream permission-Source & scope ↗

Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.

READ / INTEGRATE

API and export routes

Lead lists support pagination, while advanced filtering supports structured searches. API records cover the declared CRM scope rather than every attachment or service configuration.

Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.

ECONOMIC ACCESS

Cost, authentication and limits

Access-specific fixed fees and the lowest eligible plan were not established. Endpoint rate budgets use rate-limit headers and 429 backoff; concurrent requests need their own budget.

Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.

ACT FROM OUTSIDE

External action

Create Lead and Update Lead document customer-record mutations. PUT changes only supplied fields; safe retry after an ambiguous creation is not established.

Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.

KEEP ACCESS USEFUL

Continuity

Events identify created, updated and deleted objects for 30 days. Nearby updates can merge into one event, and non-admin object/previous payloads are visible for only one hour.

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.

LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA

Data exit and portability

Lead JSON can be retained as a portable record copy. The event log does not preserve every intermediate update (full files, native configuration and cancellation retrieval remain unverified).

Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.

BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE

Business logic and customization

The API exposes creation and editing of native Sequences as well as external integration code. Rights to export and execute native definitions independently were not established.

Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
