Status

Just like select attributes, status attributes are a constrained input type, where the user must pick from a predefined list. They are used in the Attio UI to define the different columns on a kanban board, but they can also be used with objects directly.

There’s only one predefined status attribute, available on the deal object as stage.

The possible values of a status attribute are known as “statuses”, and there are separate APIs for managing them.

All status attributes are single-select.

​

Reading values

Status values have a status property, which is an object describing which status was used:

{
  "active_from": "2023-04-03T15:21:06.447000000Z",
  "active_until": null,
  "created_by_actor": {...},
  "attribute_type": "select",
  "status": {
    "id": {
      "workspace_id": "4f9a01be-3792-4ab9-926f-ca7f9005700c",
      "object_id": "5f1feef5-fe73-4c0e-9d97-5b0a96a7d32b",
      "attribute_id": "a4977b52-d367-4e28-a671-b5c4fa401fc5",
      "status_id": "11f07f01-c10f-4e05-a522-33e050bc52ee"
    },
    "title": "In Progress",
    "is_archived": false,
    "target_time_in_status": null,
    "celebration_enabled": false
  }
}

​

Writing values

You can find a list of available statuses using the list statuses API.

To write status values, pass the title of the status as a string.

You can also pass an object with a status property which references either the status_id or the title of the status.

If you attempt to write a value where the ID or title cannot be found, you will receive an error rather than create a new status.

{
  "stage": "Lead"
}

​

Filtering

Status attributes can be filtered by equality, using either the implicit syntax or the explicit one, with either the title or status ID:

{
  "filter": {
    "stage": "In Progress"
  }
}

You can also filter for multiple possible matching values using the $or syntax:

{
  "filter": {
    "$or": [
      {"stage": "In Progress"},
      {"stage": "Lead"}
    ]
  }
}

Status attributes can also be filtered based on when they were modified, using the active_from property. This allows automations based on when the attribute was changed. This filter supports the $lt, $lte, $gt, $gte operators:

{
  "filter": {
    "stage": {
      "active_from": {
        "$gte": "2023-11-20"
      }
    }
  }
}
