lead.created

Sent when a lead is created in Cooledge. It fires once for every lead your business owns, no matter where the lead came from: the portal, your website forms, the API or an inbound GoHighLevel opportunity. Delivered to your webhook subscriptions. Deliveries are at-least-once, so dedupe on X-Cooledge-Event-Id.

Envelope

Every event shares the flat envelope: event_type, version ("v1"), event_id, business_id, occurred_at, plus the fields below. See the events overview for the envelope detail and webhooks for signature verification and delivery semantics.

Fields

Field	Type	Notes
`lead_id`	string	UUID of the new lead.
`customer_id`	string or null	UUID of the linked customer, when one is set. Usually null at creation, because customer linking happens after the lead is inserted.
`name`	string or null	The lead's name.
`email`	string or null	The lead's email, normalized.
`phone`	string or null	The lead's phone, normalized to E.164 where possible.
`lead_type`	string	The lead's type, for example `inbound` or `marketplace`.
`source`	string	Where the lead came from. Defaults to `api` for leads created through the API.
`status`	string	The lead's status. A freshly created lead is always `new`.
`external_ghl_opportunity_id`	string or null	The matching GoHighLevel opportunity id. Agencies match lead events on this field. Null for leads that did not come from GoHighLevel.
