Save app data to be retrieved later

Hi!

I’m developing a Pipedrive app. And I was wondering if it is possible to save custom data and retrieve it later. For example, I want to save some custom ids onto a deal, connecting the ids to the specific deal. Is this something that can be done via the API? Saving the data into Pipedrive’s systems and not my own.

Best Regards,
Vidar

Hi @Vidar

You could use Custom Fields for saving custom data in a Deal https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/?#!/DealFields/post_dealFields
https://support.pipedrive.com/hc/en-us/articles/207228075-Custom-Fields

but this data will be available to your app users, meaning they could also view/edit/delete it.

Hi @mykhailo

I’ve tested this a little bit. But it seems that you can’t create this custom field or update it unless you have admin access. Otherwise it is kinda what I’m after.

Correct @Vidar, you do need to be an Admin in order to create Fields.
