What it does

Give an outside tool its own key instead of a staff login. Keys are read-only and scoped; webhooks push events out as they happen. The base URL is https://api.zentive.io/public-api/v1.

Create an API key

  1. 1

    Settings → Public Integrations → Create Integration API Key

    Name it for the tool (Zapier Read Key) and tick only the scopes it needs: Customers, Jobs, Invoices, Quotes, Leads (all read).

  2. 2

    Copy the key once

    It is shown once. Send it as X-Zentive-Api-Key: <key> or Authorization: Bearer <key>.

  3. 3

    Endpoints

    GET /customers, /jobs, /invoices, /quotes, /leads with limit, page, status, source, and q (search) parameters as listed on the page.

Create a webhook

  1. 1

    Create Webhook Subscription

    Name, Target URL (https), and event types: Lead Created, Quote Created, Quote Status Changed.

  2. 2

    Verify deliveries

    Each request carries X-Zentive-Signature-256 (HMAC SHA-256 of the body with your signing secret), X-Zentive-Event-Type, and X-Zentive-Webhook-Id. Recent Webhook Delivery Logs shows every attempt with status code and response.

Read the delivery log's status code and response, fix the endpoint (must be public HTTPS returning 2xx quickly), verify the signature, and re-trigger.
