Set the deal's custom status
/deals/{id}/actions/set-custom-statusSets the deal's custom status to custom_status_id, one of the organisation's statuses or null to clear, and returns the deal. An unknown id returns 422 exists. The same status again is written again: the previous status becomes that status, and it notifies and emits as any change. With notify=true, participants get an in-app notification and the classified-investor audience an email after commit (no email for drafts). dry_run shows the result without saving. Emits deal.custom_status_changed. Setting the previous status undoes it. Replaces PATCH /deals/{dealId}/custom-status.
Path parameters
The deal's id, a uuid. An unknown id, or a deal the token can't see, returns 404.
Query parameters
Validate and run the call without committing it, returning what the real call would return with
meta.dry_runset.
Headers
Makes a retry safe. Send a new UUID for each new request and reuse it only to retry that request; the first response is replayed for 24 hours.
Request body
