Overview

Important: This section describes the API endpoint that your system must implement to receive companies from Enginy. This is not a Enginy API endpoint — it is the interface specification that Enginy will call on your CRM.

When exporting companies from Enginy, Enginy will call your /companies endpoint to create companies in batch. Your endpoint must accept the companies and return the CRM IDs for each created company.

Companies are created before contacts during export, so contact-company associations can be established.

Create Companies

Your Implementation Required

This endpoint must be implemented on your server

Enginy calls this endpoint to create companies in your CRM.

Request

POST /companies
Content-Type: application/json
X-API-Key: <your-api-key>

Request Body

{
  "companies": [
    {
      "externalId": "789",
      "name": "Acme Inc",
      "domain": "acme.com",
      "industry": "Technology",
      "numberOfEmployees": 150,
      "linkedinUrl": "https://linkedin.com/company/acme"
      // ... additional fields
    }
  ]
}

Request Fields

Field	Type	Description
`companies`	array	Array of company objects to create
`companies[].externalId`	string	Required. Enginy’s internal company ID. Use this to map responses back.

Additional fields from the company record will be included. Your CRM should gracefully handle unknown fields.

Owner Assignment: If you implement the optional /users endpoint, Enginy will include an ownerId field when the user selects an owner during export. This allows companies to be assigned to specific CRM users.

    }
  ],
  "errors": [
    {
      "externalId": "790",
      "error": "Company with this domain already exists"
    }
  ]
}

Return an appropriate error status if the entire batch fails.

{
  "error": "Invalid request",
  "message": "Missing required field: companies"
}

Batch Size

Enginy sends companies in batches of up to 100 companies per request. Your endpoint should be able to handle this batch size efficiently.

Testing Your Endpoint

Test your companies endpoint with this curl command:

curl -X POST https://your-crm.com/companies \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "companies": [
      {
        "externalId": "test-789",
        "name": "Test Company",
        "domain": "testcompany.com",
        "industry": "Technology"
      }
    ]
  }'

Expected response:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "externalId": "test-789",
      "crmId": "your-crm-company-id-here"
    }
  ]
}
