Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Cloze CRM API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcloze.com%2Fcloze" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcloze.com%2Fcloze" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Cloze CRM API.
Create, update, find, and delete people and company contact records
Create and update projects, including stages, segments, and custom fields
Log communications, content, and to-do items on a contact or project timeline
Query analytics endpoints for team activity, lead qualification, and funnel data
Manage team members, subteam nodes, and team roles
GET STARTED
Subscribe to webhook events for changes to people, companies, and projects
Patterns agents use Cloze CRM API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Two-Way Contact Sync With Other Systems
Teams running Cloze alongside marketing automation or finance tools sync contacts both ways. /v1/people/find and /v1/companies/find detect existing records before /v1/people/create or /v1/companies/create insert new ones, while /v1/people/update keeps fields current as upstream systems change. Webhook subscriptions via /v1/webhooks/subscribe push change events outwards, removing the need to poll. The 43 endpoints cover the full read-write surface needed for a robust sync.
Find a person in Cloze by email via GET /v1/people/find, and if no match exists, create the record via POST /v1/people/create with name, email, and company
Automated Timeline Logging From Email and Calls
Sales reps want every email, call, and meeting to land on the right contact's timeline without manual entry. POST /v1/timeline/communication/create records inbound and outbound communications against a person or company, and POST /v1/timeline/content/create attaches related content like decks or notes. Combined with /v1/people/find for resolution, an integration can listen on a mail server or telephony API and write a complete activity history into Cloze automatically.
When a sales call ends, find the contact in Cloze by phone number then POST /v1/timeline/communication/create with the call duration, direction, and a short summary
Sales Funnel and Lead Qualification Analytics
Sales managers analysing pipeline health pull funnel and lead qualification data on demand rather than waiting for built-in reports. POST /v1/analytics/funnel returns funnel stage data, POST /v1/analytics/leads returns lead qualification metrics, and POST /v1/analytics/teamactivity surfaces what the team did in a given period. The results power a custom dashboard or feed a weekly forecasting report without exporting to spreadsheets.
Run POST /v1/analytics/funnel for the current quarter and POST /v1/analytics/leads for the same period, then summarise stage-by-stage conversion rates
AI Agent Maintaining a Live CRM via Jentic
AI agents handling sales operations call Cloze through Jentic to keep records current as conversations happen. The agent expresses an intent like 'create a person' or 'log a call', and Jentic loads the matching Cloze operation, supplies the api_key from the vault, and returns structured results. The same flow handles webhooks, so the agent can react to changes without polling the Cloze feed endpoints.
Through Jentic, search for 'create a person in CRM', load the cloze.com /v1/people/create operation, and execute it with the prospect's name, email, and company

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Cloze by hand means appending its api_key query parameter to every call to api.cloze.com, keeping that key out of your logs, and handling retries across its CRM endpoints yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Cloze CRM API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Cloze passes person and company targets in the request body rather than the URL path, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as finding a person or logging a timeline communication. You choose that set, so write operations like creating a person or subscribing a webhook are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Cloze api_key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and appended as the query parameter at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a person', 'log a call', or 'query a sales funnel', and Jentic returns the matching Cloze operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the Cloze docs.

Specific to using Cloze CRM API through Jentic.
Does Cloze publish an official OpenAPI spec for the Cloze CRM API?
Yes. Cloze publishes an official OpenAPI 3.1.1 document at https://api.cloze.com/api-docs/cloze-openapi.json, titled 'Cloze API Reference', covering 55 endpoints. That document is canonical. The specification on this page is a curated, agent-optimized subset written and maintained by Jentic, covering 43 endpoints and validated against the live API; the official document additionally exposes bulk-fetch and timeline operations for people, companies, and projects, and declares bearer and OAuth2 schemes alongside the api_key query parameter. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.
What authentication does the Cloze CRM API use?
The Cloze API uses an apiKey scheme with the key passed as the api_key query parameter on every request. Through Jentic the key is stored encrypted in the vault and appended to the request URL only at execution time, so the agent never sees the raw key.
Can I create and update people and companies with the Cloze CRM API?
Yes. POST /v1/people/create and POST /v1/people/update handle person records, POST /v1/companies/create and POST /v1/companies/update handle companies, and DELETE /v1/people/delete removes a person. /v1/people/find and /v1/companies/find let you check for existing records before inserting.
Can I subscribe to webhooks for Cloze changes?
Yes. POST /v1/webhooks/subscribe registers a callback URL for change events on people, companies, and projects. POST /v1/webhooks/unsubscribe removes a subscription, and GET /v1/webhooks lists active subscriptions.
What are the rate limits for the Cloze CRM API?
The OpenAPI specification does not declare explicit rate limit headers or a 429 response. Cloze applies plan-based limits, so high-volume sync jobs should batch updates and back off if requests start to fail. Through Jentic, retries are handled by the SDK.
How do I create a person record in Cloze through Jentic?
Install the SDK with pip install jentic, search for 'create a person in CRM', load the cloze.com /v1/people/create operation, and execute it with name, email, and company. Jentic supplies the api_key automatically and returns the created record's identifier.
Can I query Cloze analytics endpoints from an integration?
Yes. POST /v1/analytics/teamactivity, /v1/analytics/activity, /v1/analytics/projects, /v1/analytics/leads, and /v1/analytics/funnel return team-, project-, lead-, and funnel-level metrics that can drive a custom dashboard or feed into a weekly report.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Cloze CRM API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Cloze operations and credentials the agent can use, so you can grant only read-side calls such as GET /v1/people/find or POST /v1/analytics/funnel and leave write calls out. Cloze passes person and company targets in the request body rather than the URL path, so scoping is done at the operation level: you pick the exact set the agent may call. Write operations like POST /v1/people/create or POST /v1/webhooks/subscribe are not available to the agent unless you explicitly add them to that set.
