Define custom object fields once, use them in every account

Create and manage custom object types and their fields across all of your accounts with one API call, instead of editing each account separately.
Custom object field extensions through the API
Create and manage custom object types and their fields through the external API. Define a field once and it exists in every account. A full guide is in the developer portal under "CRM."
In each business's account, your fields are read-only and the object type can't be reconfigured, because you own it. Businesses can still add their own fields on top and edit those freely.
Why it matters
Before, setting up the same custom object for many clients meant creating and editing it account by account, and keeping everything consistent was manual work. Now one API call sets it up everywhere, and businesses can't accidentally change the structure your integrations and automations depend on, while still keeping the flexibility to add fields of their own.
