Core Workflows

1. Run Structured Filter Queries

Query parties, opportunities, or cases (projects) with multiple filter conditions, operators, and sorting.

Tool: CAPSULE_CRM_RUN_FILTER_QUERY

Example prompt:

"Find all Capsule CRM contacts in California tagged as 'VIP' sorted by name"

Key parameters:

• entity (required) -- One of: parties, opportunities, kases
• filter (required) -- Filter object with:
  • conditions -- Array of conditions, each with:
    • field -- Field name (e.g., "name", "email", "state", "country", "tag", "owner", "jobTitle", "addedOn")
    • operator -- One of: "is", "is not", "starts with", "ends with", "contains", "is greater than", "is less than", "is after", "is before", "is older than", "is within last", "is within next"
    • value -- Value to compare against
  • orderBy -- Array of sort objects with field and direction ("ascending"/"descending")
• embed -- Additional data to include in response
• page / perPage -- Pagination (max 100 per page)

Important field notes:

• Address fields (city, state, country, zip) are top-level, NOT nested under "address"
• Country must be an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g., "US", "GB", "CA")
• Custom fields use custom:{fieldId} format
• Organization fields use org. prefix (e.g., org.name, org.tag)

Key parameters for entries:

• embed -- "party", "kase", "opportunity", "creator", "activityType"
• page / perPage -- Pagination (max 100 per page)

Known Pitfalls

• Address fields are top-level: When filtering, use state, city, country, zip directly -- NOT address.state or nested syntax.
• Country codes are ISO alpha-2: Filter by "US", "GB", "CA" -- not "United States" or "United Kingdom".
• Custom fields use special syntax: Reference custom fields as custom:{fieldId} in filter conditions. For org-level custom fields, use org.custom:{fieldId}.
• Projects are called "kases" in the API: Despite being "projects" in the UI, the API entity type is kases. Use kases in filter queries.
• Delete operations require item IDs: When updating a party to remove sub-items (emails, phones, tags), you must include the item's id along with _delete: true. List the party first to get sub-item IDs.
• Pagination defaults to 50: All list endpoints default to 50 items per page with a max of 100. Always implement pagination for complete data retrieval.
• Embed values vary by entity: Not all embed options work for all entities. Check the documentation for supported embed values per endpoint.
