At least one of externalId, name, email, phone, or custom must be provided. Use externalId for a customer-owned business identifier, such as an order number, quotation number, application ID, opportunity ID, or CRM lead ID. The value is trimmed, can contain up to 255 characters, and must be unique within your Octanist organization. When externalId is provided, it also acts as an idempotency key. Repeating a request with the same external ID returns the existing lead with 200 OK and created: false. If the repeated request supplies an email or phone number that conflicts with the existing lead, Octanist returns 409 CONFLICT instead. When you include attribution fields such as click IDs, UTM parameters, website, path, or consent fields, Octanist stores that attribution on the lead’s session. Existing API integrations can keep sending those fields directly. If the Octanist pixel is installed on the website, you can also send sessionId to link the lead to an existing pixel session. This is the preferred setup for server-side form capture because it keeps the lead connected to the original page views and attribution. When sessionId is provided, Octanist links the lead to that existing session and uses the attribution already stored on the session. Direct attribution fields in the same request are only used when sessionId is missing.

Session linking

When the pixel runs on a page, it creates a session ID and stores it in sessionStorage as octa_sid. The pixel also injects a hidden field into forms:

<input type="hidden" name="octa_sid" value="..." />

For Elementor forms, the pixel also injects:

<input type="hidden" name="form_fields[octa_sid]" value="..." />

Your server should read that value from the submitted form and send it to the API as sessionId.

{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "john@example.com",
  "sessionId": "value-from-octa_sid"
}

If sessionId is valid, Octanist links the new lead to the existing pixel session. If sessionId is missing, Octanist creates a synthetic session from the attribution fields in the request. Direct attribution fields in the request are not merged into an existing pixel session when sessionId is provided.

Never expose your API key in browser JavaScript. Submit the form to your own backend first, then call the Octanist API from your server.

Example Request

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-API-KEY: your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "externalId": "QUOTE-2026-0042",
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "phone": "+1234567890",

    "ad_storage": true,
    "ad_user_data": true
  }' \

Example Response (201 Created)

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": "lead_abc123",
    "externalId": "QUOTE-2026-0042",
    "created": true,
    "message": "Lead added"
  },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "req_a1b2c3d4e5f6",
    "timestamp": "2026-03-10T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

Example Response (200 Existing Lead)

An idempotent replay with the same externalId returns the existing lead:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": "lead_abc123",
    "externalId": "QUOTE-2026-0042",
    "created": false,
    "message": "Existing lead returned"
  },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "req_a1b2c3d4e5f6",
    "timestamp": "2026-03-10T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

External IDs are supported by the authenticated Leads API and by pixel form mapping. The GTM DataLayer endpoint and the legacy WordPress endpoint return Octanist’s internal lead UUID, but reject externalId input.
