## Create a smart process item

`POST /v1/items/:entityTypeId`

Creates a new item in the specified smart process.

Use the `entityTypeId` field from [`GET /v1/smart-processes`](/docs/entities/smart-processes/list) in the `/v1/items/:entityTypeId` path. The type record's internal `id` is a different identifier. For example, if a type is returned as `{ "id": 3, "entityTypeId": 174 }`, the path starts with `/v1/items/174`. Use the returned value rather than assuming all type IDs start at 1030.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|-----|:-----:|---------|
| `entityTypeId` (path) | number | yes | Smart process type ID. List: [`GET /v1/smart-processes`](/docs/entities/smart-processes/list) |

## Request fields (body)

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|----------|-----|---------|
| `title` | string | Name |
| `xmlId` | string | External code |
| `stageId` | string | Stage. Format: `DT{typeId}_{catId}:{stage}`. List: `GET /v1/statuses?filter[entityId]=DYNAMIC_{entityTypeId}_STAGE_{categoryId}` |
| `categoryId` | number | Pipeline ID. List: `GET /v1/categories/:entityTypeId` |
| `contactId` | number | Contact ID. Search: `GET /v1/contacts` |
| `companyId` | number | Company ID. Search: `GET /v1/companies` |
| `mycompanyId` | number | ID of your own company |
| `assignedById` | number | Responsible person. List: `GET /v1/users` |
| `opportunity` | number | Amount. Stored only on types with product rows enabled (`isLinkWithProductsEnabled: true`). Check with `GET /v1/smart-processes/:entityTypeId` |
| `isManualOpportunity` | boolean | Amount set manually. A `true` value on a type with product rows disabled is refused with `422 AMOUNT_NOT_APPLIED` |
| `currencyId` | string | Currency. List: `GET /v1/currencies` |
| `opened` | boolean | Available to everyone |
| `begindate` | datetime | Start date. Accepts ISO 8601, but only the date is stored — the time is dropped |
| `closedate` | datetime | End date. Accepts ISO 8601, but only the date is stored — the time is dropped |
| `sourceId` | string | Source |
| `observers` | array | Observer IDs |

Full field list: [GET /v1/items/:entityTypeId/fields](/docs/entities/items/fields). User fields (`ufCrmN_*`) are also accepted. Pass fields flat at the JSON root, without a `fields` object: it is rejected with `400 NESTED_FIELDS_ENVELOPE` before creation.

## Examples

The examples use `entityTypeId = 156`; replace it with the ID of your smart process.

## Response fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|------|-----|---------|
| `success` | boolean | `true` when the item is created |
| `data` | object | The created item with all fields, including user fields `ufCrmN_*`. All fields — [Item fields](/docs/entities/items/fields) |
| `data.id` | number | Item ID |
| `data.title` | string | Name |
| `data.stageId` | string | Stage |
| `data.categoryId` | number | Pipeline ID |
| `data.companyId` | number | Company ID |
| `data.contactId` | number | Contact ID |
| `data.opportunity` | number | Amount |
| `data.currencyId` | string | Currency |
| `data.assignedById` | number | Responsible person |
| `data.createdBy` | number | Creator |
| `data.createdTime` | datetime | Creation date |
| `data.updatedTime` | datetime | Modification date |

The URL of the item card in Bitrix24 is built from `id`:

```
https://<portal>.bitrix24.com/crm/type/<entityTypeId>/details/<id>/
```

`<entityTypeId>` — the smart process type ID (the same one used in the request path). `<portal>` — the Bitrix24 portal domain. If the smart process is placed in a separate section of your Bitrix24 account, Bitrix24 opens the card at the corresponding path. Access is limited by the employee's permissions in Bitrix24.

## Response example

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": 783,
    "title": "New contract",
    "stageId": "DT156_41:NEW",
    "categoryId": 41,
    "companyId": 15,
    "contactId": null,
    "opportunity": 500000,
    "currencyId": "USD",
    "assignedById": 1,
    "createdBy": 1,
    "createdTime": "2026-04-15T14:30:00+00:00",
    "updatedTime": "2026-04-15T14:30:00+00:00"
  }
}
```

## Error response example

403 — no scope:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "SCOPE_DENIED",
    "message": "This endpoint requires 'crm' scope"
  }
}
```

## Errors

| HTTP | Code | Description |
|------|-----|---------|
| 400 | `INVALID_DYNAMIC_PARAM` | `entityTypeId` is not a positive integer or is reserved (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 31) |
| 400 | `NESTED_FIELDS_ENVELOPE` | The body contains an object under `fields` instead of flat fields at the JSON root; the item is not created |
| 400 | `READONLY_FIELD` | A read-only field was passed in the body (`id`, `createdTime`, `updatedTime` and others) |
| 400 | `CLIENT_BLOCK_DISABLED` | The body carries a client (`contactId`, `contactIds` or `companyId`) while the smart process has the "Client" block disabled. Check `GET /v1/smart-processes/:entityTypeId`, field `isClientEnabled` |
| 422 | `AMOUNT_NOT_APPLIED` | The body carried `isManualOpportunity: true` while the smart process type has product rows disabled, so neither the manual mode nor the amount was stored. The item is still created: its actual state is returned in `data`, and the fields that were not applied are listed in `error.details.unappliedFields`, with their actual values in `error.details.currentValues`. An amount sent without that flag is not checked — the response does not let you tell it apart from a recalculation based on product rows |
| 422 | `BITRIX_ERROR` | Field validation error from Bitrix24. The specific reason is in the `message` field |
| 403 | `SCOPE_DENIED` | The API key does not have the `crm` scope |
| 401 | `TOKEN_MISSING` | The API key has no configured tokens |
