SalesLoft Hello World

Overview

List people and create a new person — the two fundamental SalesLoft API operations. Uses the REST API v2 at https://api.salesloft.com/v2/. All endpoints return JSON with a data wrapper and support pagination via page and per_page params.

Prerequisites

• Valid OAuth token or API key (see salesloft-install-auth)
• SALESLOFT_API_KEY environment variable set

Instructions

Step 1: List People

import axios from 'axios';

const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://api.salesloft.com/v2',
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.SALESLOFT_API_KEY}` },
});

// List people — returns paginated results
const { data } = await api.get('/people.json', {
  params: { per_page: 25, page: 1 },
});

console.log(`Total people: ${data.metadata.paging.total_count}`);
data.data.forEach((person: any) => {
  console.log(`  ${person.display_name} <${person.email_address}>`);
});

Step 2: Create a Person

// Create a new person record
const { data: created } = await api.post('/people.json', {
  email_address: 'prospect@example.com',
  first_name: 'Alex',
  last_name: 'Johnson',
  title: 'VP Engineering',
  company_name: 'Acme Corp',
  phone: '+1-555-0100',
  city: 'Austin',
  state: 'TX',
  custom_fields: {
    lead_source: 'website',
  },
});

console.log(`Created person: ${created.data.id} — ${created.data.display_name}`);

Step 3: Add Person to a Cadence

// First, list available cadences
const { data: cadences } = await api.get('/cadences.json', {
  params: { per_page: 10 },
});
const cadenceId = cadences.data[0].id;

// Add person to cadence
const { data: membership } = await api.post('/cadence_memberships.json', {
  person_id: created.data.id,
  cadence_id: cadenceId,
});
console.log(`Added to cadence: ${membership.data.cadence.name}`);

Output

Total people: 1,247
  Alex Johnson <prospect@example.com>
Created person: 98765 — Alex Johnson
Added to cadence: Q1 Outbound Sequence

Error Handling

Examples

Search People by Email

const { data } = await api.get('/people.json', {

});

await api.put(`/people/${personId}.json`, {
  title: 'CTO',
  company_name: 'New Corp',

});
