There are 51 supported operations across 11 scopes. A key receives only explicitly assigned operations that remain within its owner's access. Select all in API settings grants the available actions in one scope; future operations require an explicit assignment.

Common rules

  • REST Add and Edit use a flat JSON object. MCP Add and Edit place the same object inside arguments.attributes.
  • Fields marked Required on Add must be supplied when creating a resource. Edit sends only the fields to change and requires at least one attribute.
  • string(n) means a string with a maximum of n characters. text means a string with a maximum of 100,000 characters. nullable fields accept JSON null.
  • Boolean fields use JSON true or false. IDs and integer fields use JSON numbers. Browse uses page, per_page, and search as described in the REST guide.
  • Resource references must point to the same company and workspace as the key. Category parents cannot form a cycle.
  • Slugs contain only ASCII letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens, with a maximum length of 255. For Add, omitted slugs are generated from the title or name with a random suffix. Slugs must be unique within the resource's company.
  • Every Browse, Read, Add, and Edit result includes id, created_at, and updated_at. Browse adds only name, or title for knowledge articles and documents. Read adds all fields listed for that scope, including any additional read fields. Write results include supplied attributes and any generated slug, rather than untouched fields.
  • Company IDs, workspace IDs, credentials, internal execution state, and arbitrary model attributes cannot be supplied or retrieved through this API.

Custom agents

Scope: custom_agents. All five operations are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint Required on Add
name string(255) Yes
description text, nullable No
conversation_tone string(255), nullable No
company_instructions text, nullable No
is_active, strict_mode boolean No
temperature number from 0 to 2 No
history_size, knowledge_size integer from 0 to 100 No

New custom agents use a configured active chat model. Add returns 422 if none is available. Model credentials and model selection are managed through the existing assistant configuration.

Knowledge articles

Scope: knowledge_articles. All five operations are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint Required on Add
title string(255) Yes
body text Yes
slug slug No
short_description string(2000), nullable No
category_id positive integer or null; same-company category No
featured, published boolean No
order integer from 0 to 100,000 No
meta_title string(255), nullable No
meta_description string(2000), nullable No

The key's owner becomes the author on Add. Setting published to true sets the publication time if it has not already been set. Publication time is not a field exposed by this API.

Knowledge categories

Scope: knowledge_categories. All five operations are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint Required on Add
name string(255) Yes
slug slug No
description string(2000), nullable No
parent_id positive integer or null; same-company category No
order integer from 0 to 100,000 No

A category cannot be its own parent or belong to a cycle of parents.

Knowledge documents

Scope: knowledge_documents. Browse, Read, Edit, and Delete are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint
title string(255)

Additional Read fields: filename, original_mimetype, status, file_size, and chunk_count. Uploading files and processing document content use the Knowledge Documents workflow.

Forms

Scope: forms. All five operations are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint Required on Add
name string(255) Yes
slug slug No
description text, nullable No
trigger string(2000) Yes
is_active, allow_multiple_entries, allow_entry_updates boolean No
fields array of up to 100 field objects Yes

Each field object accepts only the following properties:

Property Type / constraint Required
name Unique string, maximum 100 characters; starts with a letter and then uses letters, numbers, or underscores. Yes
label string(255) Yes
type TextInput, Textarea, Number, Email, Phone, Date, Select, or Checkbox Yes
required boolean No
placeholder string(255) No
options array of up to 100 strings, each at most 255 characters No

Example REST Add payload:

json
{
  "name": "Customer enquiry",
  "trigger": "Collect the customer's enquiry details",
  "fields": [
    {"name":"email","label":"Email","type":"Email","required":true},
    {"name":"topic","label":"Topic","type":"Select","options":["Sales","Support"]}
  ]
}

New forms start as drafts. For Edit, a supplied fields array replaces that attribute's value; it is not an instruction to append one field. Form generation, publishing, and advanced configuration use the AI Form Builder.

Contacts

Scope: contacts. All five operations are supported. These are the visitor/contact records in the company.

Writable field Type / constraint Required on Add
name string(255) Yes
email Valid email, maximum 255 characters, or null No
phone_number string(50), nullable No

Additional Read field: source. New contacts have the source api. Tags, audience memberships, and contact-group memberships are outside this scope's payload.

Contact groups

Scope: contact_groups. All five operations are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint Required on Add
name string(255) Yes
description string(2000), nullable No

These operations manage the group record. Use the existing Contact Groups interface to manage its members.

Chat widgets

Scope: chat_widgets. All five operations are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint Required on Add
name string(255) Yes
custom_agent_id positive integer or null; same-company custom agent No
header_text string(255), nullable No
welcome_message, offline_message string(2000), nullable No
is_active boolean No
theme_color Six-digit hexadecimal color, such as #2563eb No
position bottom-right or bottom-left No

Additional Read field: widget_key, the public widget identifier generated on Add. Use Read after Add to retrieve it if your key has the Read grant. Advanced website behavior and embedding are covered in Chat Widgets.

Bookings

Scope: bookings. Browse, Read, Edit, and Delete are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint
name string(255)
description text, nullable

Additional Read fields: slug, status, and timezone. This scope manages booking configurations, rather than individual customer reservations. Scheduling, capacity, and availability settings use the Bookings editor.

Workflows

Scope: workflows. Browse, Read, Edit, and Delete are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint
name string(255)
description text, nullable

Additional Read fields: is_active and channel. Workflow definitions, activation, and execution use the Workflows interface; this API does not expose an execution operation.

Agent tools

Scope: agent_tools. Browse, Read, Edit, and Delete are supported.

Writable field Type / constraint
name string(255)
description, response_instructions text, nullable

Additional Read fields: custom_agent_id, type, and is_active. Tool connection credentials, configuration, and execution are managed through Agent Tools.
