We are introducing 4 new fields for Leads and Deals

What is being added?

  <p>The following fields are being added to Leads and Deals:<br />
    <ul>
      <li>
        <code>origin</code> - a system-generated value indicating how the entity was created (e.g. Import, API, Manually created). User cannot change this value
      </li>
      <li>
        <code>origin_id</code> - a system-generated value which specifies the <code>origin</code> further. User can supply a value in POST payload. In other cases the value is autofilled when applicable (e.g. in case <code>origin</code> is <code>Import</code>, the <code>origin_id</code> is the unique batch id). User cannot change this value
      </li>
      <li>
        <code>channel</code> - single option editable value to further specify entity source based on marketing channel. In certain cases this field is autofilled, but it doesn’t restrict users to manipulate it afterwards
      </li>
      <li>
        <code>channel_id</code> - text field for users to further specify the <code>channel</code> by themselves. In certain cases this field is autofilled, but it doesn’t restrict users to manipulate it afterwards
      </li>
    </ul>

      <p>All four new fields are included in respective <code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code> and <code>PUT</code> responses. <code>channel</code> and <code>channel_id</code> can be included in respective <code>POST</code> and <code>PUT</code> payloads. User can get list of currently supported values for <code>origin</code> and <code>channel</code> fields from <a href="https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/DealFields#getDealFields" target="_blank">DealFields endpoint</a></p>
    <p>You can read more about these new fields and how to use them  in our <a href="https://support.pipedrive.com/en/article/lead-source-deals">Knowledge Base article</a></p>
