Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Lead API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Lead API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

For Agents

Create, list, update, and delete sales leads across Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, and other CRMs through one unified API.

Use for: Create a new lead from a website demo request form, List all leads created in the last 24 hours, Update a lead's status to 'qualified' after a discovery call, Delete a duplicate lead that was created twice

Not supported: Does not handle deals, opportunities, accounts, or contact records - use for the lead resource lifecycle only; switch to the Apideck CRM Unified API for downstream pipeline operations.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Lead API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Form-to-CRM Lead Capture

Wire a marketing form, chat widget, or event sign-up to push leads into whichever CRM the customer has connected (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho). POST /lead/leads accepts the same payload across providers and returns the resulting lead ID, so the integration is one HTTP call regardless of CRM. Useful for SaaS products that don't want to build five CRM integrations.

Create a lead with name 'Jane Doe', company 'Acme Corp', email 'jane@acme.com', source 'demo-request' in the connected CRM and return the resulting lead_id

Lead Status Sync

Keep an external sales tool's lead status in sync with the customer's CRM. GET /lead/leads/{id} retrieves current state, PATCH /lead/leads/{id} updates owner or status, and a polling or event-driven loop reconciles changes. Works the same against any of the supported CRMs because Apideck normalises the lead schema.

For lead_id 'lead_42', PATCH the status to 'qualified' and assign owner_id 'user_77', then verify with GET /lead/leads/lead_42

Duplicate Lead Cleanup

Deduplicate inbound leads before they hit the sales team. List leads with GET /lead/leads, group by email or company domain, and delete duplicates with DELETE /lead/leads/{id}. The 5-endpoint surface keeps the cleanup script small and portable across CRMs.

List all leads, group by email, and for each group with more than one lead delete every lead except the most recently created

AI Agent Lead Capture via Jentic

An AI sales agent qualifies a website visitor in chat and files them as a lead. Through Jentic, the agent searches 'create a lead', loads the POST /lead/leads operation, and executes it with the captured details. Jentic stores the Apideck Authorization, x-apideck-app-id, and x-apideck-consumer-id headers separately so the agent never sees the raw key.

Through Jentic, search 'create a lead', load POST /lead/leads, and create a lead from the chat transcript with name, company, email, and a description summarising the conversation

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your Apideck API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a lead' or 'update a lead record', and Jentic returns the matching Apideck Lead operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Lead API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Apideck Lead API use?

An apiKey scheme on the `Authorization` header with your Apideck application key, plus `x-apideck-app-id` and `x-apideck-consumer-id` headers. Through Jentic these are stored encrypted in the vault and injected at execution; the agent only ever holds a scoped token.

Can I push a lead into Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive with the same call?

Yes. POST /lead/leads uses the same request shape regardless of the underlying CRM. The actual provider is determined by the connection associated with the x-apideck-consumer-id; provider-specific custom fields can be passed through Apideck's custom fields mechanism.

What are the rate limits for the Apideck Lead API?

The OpenAPI spec does not publish per-endpoint rate limits. Apideck applies plan-based limits at unify.apideck.com plus per-connector limits passed through from the underlying CRM (Salesforce's per-org daily limit, HubSpot's burst limits, etc.). See https://developers.apideck.com for current numbers.

How do I create a lead through Jentic?

Install with `pip install jentic`, then run the search query 'create a lead'. Jentic returns POST /lead/leads - load its schema, supply name, company, email, and any source attribution, then execute. The lead lands in whichever CRM the consumer has connected.

Does the Lead API support custom fields from my CRM?

Yes - Apideck Unified APIs accept custom fields on the lead payload that pass through to the underlying CRM. Use the Vault API's custom-mappings endpoints to map your custom field IDs to the connector's native field IDs before sending the lead.

Can I convert a lead to an opportunity through this API?

No. The Lead API covers lead CRUD only; conversion to opportunities, accounts, or contacts is handled by the Apideck CRM Unified API. After creating or updating a lead here, switch to apideck.com/crm for downstream pipeline operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Apideck Lead API?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you set the rules that decide which of the five Lead operations your agent may call, so you can allow list, get, create, and update while withholding DELETE /lead/leads/{id}. Since the lead id sits in the URL path (/lead/leads/{id}), a rule can pin the agent to a single lead, letting it read and update that one record and nothing else. Your Apideck key and consumer headers stay with your instance and are injected at execution, so the agent can only ever act within the operations you grant.
