It extends the hub’s record call Prospect.create, which every Prospect takes. It is one of the Verbs of Prospecting.

Inputs

NameTypeDefaultMeaning
foundInstringRequiredWhere the startup found them.
basisstringRequiredThe recorded reason you may contact them.
acquisitionAcquisitionNone.A Prospect’s Acquisition names the outbound Play and Mailbox that first reached it. Optional.

The hub inherits this call on every Noun: it takes the Prospect’s own Properties, listed on the hub’s Prospect page.

Outputs

FieldTypeWhat null means
prospectProspectNever null: the Prospect as the call leaves it.

Effects

Action class

None: no approval rule names it, so it runs within its seat’s Permissions and Limits

Modes
  • try: Runs every check and returns the record as it would be; nothing is stored.
  • send: Returns a pending Action at once; Prospect.created fires when it is done.
  • do: Waits for the Action to finish and returns the record.
Idempotency

Only with a key: the same Idempotency-Key and input return the first Action, and the same key with other input returns 409.

Saved or shared

The Prospect is saved as the call leaves it, with the Action that changed it.

Emits

Prospect.created with { prospect }

Performed by

Whichever seat calls it

Price

Free on your own account: the platform charges nothing for the call.

On each Venue

It acts on your own records and reaches no Venue, so every account answers the same way.

What try does

Runs every check the call meets and returns the record as it would be; nothing is stored, sent or posted.

Refuses when

The hub sets no guard of its own on this call: it refuses only on the shared checks every write meets (a missing record, a Permission the seat lacks).

When it waits

Returns in one response; nothing waits.

Example

In send mode the call returns its pending Action at once, and Prospect.created delivers the result.

You, to your agent
Save Rosa Alvarez at Northgate Rentals as a prospect: she posted a
leasing coordinator role.
Response, in send mode
{
  "mode": "send",
  "action": {
    "$id": "https://api.sb/leaseline.app/actions/action_Sd3kQ9vT2w",
    "operation": "Prospect.create",
    "status": "pending",
    "reason": "running"
  }
}

To retry, send the same Idempotency-Key: the retry returns the first answer for $0. A new key reads again.
