For Agents

Validate users, subscribe to E-cinch cart events, and list new or recently updated carts via Zapier-style trigger endpoints.

Connect the E-cinch API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the E-cinch 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.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic 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.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with E-cinch API API.

Validate that an api_key is bound to a real E-cinch user before configuring a Zap

Subscribe to a new-cart trigger so the platform POSTs new cart records to a callback URL

Unsubscribe from a previously created new-cart trigger

Subscribe to an update-cart trigger to receive cart change events

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for E-cinch API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for E-cinch API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The E-cinch API is the Zapier-oriented integration surface for the E-cinch event management platform. It exposes endpoints to validate users, subscribe and unsubscribe to new-cart and updated-cart triggers, and list new and recently changed cart records. Authentication uses an api_key query parameter, which Zapier (and other automation platforms) provide on each call.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use E-cinch API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Zapier-style cart automation

Trigger a downstream automation whenever a new cart is created on E-cinch. POST /zap/newcart subscribes a callback URL, and E-cinch then POSTs cart payloads to that URL each time a customer creates a cart. This is the same pattern Zapier uses, but it works with any platform that can host a webhook receiver.

POST /zap/newcart with the callback URL and api_key, then verify the subscription identifier appears in subsequent payloads.

Initial cart backfill

Before turning on the streaming subscription, an integration backfills existing carts so the destination system starts in sync. GET /zap/carts/new returns the most recent newly created carts, and GET /zap/carts/fresh returns the most recently updated carts, which together cover both first-time and edit cases.

GET /zap/carts/new and GET /zap/carts/fresh, deduplicate by cart ID, and write each entry into the destination system before enabling the live subscription.

User key validation in onboarding

When a user pastes an E-cinch api_key into a connector setup screen, the connector calls GET /zap/user to confirm the key is valid and tied to the right account before saving it. This avoids storing dead credentials and gives the user a clear error message at setup time.

GET /zap/user?api_key={key} and confirm a 200 response with a user payload before persisting the key.

Agent-driven cart processing via Jentic

An AI agent receives a cart payload via the new-cart subscription, looks up customer history, and pushes a follow-up email through a separate channel. Jentic stores the api_key in the MAXsystem vault and injects it as the api_key query parameter at execution time, so the agent never sees the raw value.

Search Jentic for 'list E-cinch fresh carts', load the schema for GET /zap/carts/fresh, and execute on a 5-minute schedule.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The E-cinch api_key is stored in the Jentic MAXsystem vault and injected as the api_key query parameter at execution time. The agent never embeds the key in code or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent such as 'subscribe to E-cinch new cart events' and Jentic returns the matching POST /zap/newcart operation with its callback URL parameter, so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the Zapier-style docs.

Time to first call

Direct E-cinch integration: about a day to host a webhook receiver, manage subscription IDs and handle the api_key. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes to subscribe, list and clean up carts.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Zapier NLA API

Drive E-cinch triggers from a Zapier natural-language action layer

Use alongside E-cinch when the agent already operates through Zapier's NLA orchestration

Alternative

Ticketmaster Discovery API

Ticketmaster offers a different surface for event and ticket data with broader market coverage

Choose Ticketmaster Discovery when the agent needs public event search rather than cart-level integration on a specific platform

Alternative

Cvent API

Cvent provides enterprise event management with registration and cart-equivalent flows

Choose Cvent when the agent operates against an enterprise event platform rather than a smaller specialist like E-cinch

FAQs

Specific to using E-cinch API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for E-cinch API?

Eventcinch publishes a Zapier-oriented documentation page rather than a downloadable OpenAPI artefact. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call E-cinch API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the E-cinch API use?

An api_key query parameter on each request, named exactly api_key. Through Jentic the key is held in the MAXsystem vault and injected into the query string so the agent never embeds it in code.

Can I subscribe to cart events without using Zapier?

Yes. POST /zap/newcart and POST /zap/updatecart accept any HTTPS callback URL - they are Zapier-shaped but work with any webhook receiver. The callback URL receives cart payloads as soon as the event fires.

What are the rate limits for the E-cinch API?

Rate limits are not declared in the OpenAPI spec. E-cinch operates the API primarily for Zapier-style polling, so polite intervals (typically 5 minutes or longer) are expected. Contact eventcinch.com support for the specific ceiling on your account.

How do I list new carts through Jentic?

Use the Jentic search query 'list E-cinch new carts', which resolves to GET /zap/carts/new. Run pip install jentic, load the operation, and execute - Jentic appends api_key from the vault automatically.

How do I clean up an old subscription?

Call DELETE /zap/newcart or DELETE /zap/updatecart with the subscription identifier returned at creation time. This stops E-cinch from posting events to the callback URL and prevents orphaned subscriptions from accumulating.
