  title: Parley API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Manage Parley's projects (matters or cases), accounts (client
    organizations), contacts (people), tasks, custom fields, notes, files,
    activity, automations, and skills. Records refer to each other as { type,
    id, name } references; writes take IDs. Errors are { error: { code, message,
    details } }, where code names what went wrong and each operation lists the
    codes it can return. In a query string, write a timestamp's offset as Z or
    %2B, because a raw + arrives as a space. The MCP server at /mcp offers the
    same data as a smaller set of tools.

    description: >-
      A project is a matter or case: it groups the files, notes, activity, and
      tasks for one engagement, and links to the accounts and contacts it
      involves.
  - name: Accounts
    description: >-
      An account is a client organization. Contacts belong to it, and projects
      link to it.
  - name: Contacts
    description: >-
      A contact is a person, optionally belonging to one account and linked to
      projects.
  - name: Tasks
    description: >-
      A task is a to-do with a status, assignee, and due date, optionally about
      one project, account, or contact.
  - name: Fields
    description: >-
      Custom fields defined for projects, accounts, contacts, or tasks. Records
      carry their values in fields, keyed by field name.
  - name: Notes
    description: >-
      Markdown notes on a project, account, or contact. Updates take the version
      you last read, so concurrent edits fail with 409 VERSION_CONFLICT instead
      of overwriting.
  - name: Files
    description: >-
      Files and folders of a project, account, contact, or intake, or the
      organization's Library. Add a file by creating an upload, PUTting its
      bytes, and adding the upload to a location.
  - name: Activity
    description: >-
      What happened across the organization or on one record: changes, links,
      notes, files, USCIS case updates, and synced emails and meetings. Each
      item's kind says which details it carries.
  - name: Sessions
    description: >-
      Conversations with Parley's assistant, from the web app, Word, Outlook,
      automation runs, and the API. Start one with a message, follow up or steer
      it while it works, and read its replies.
  - name: Automations
    description: >-
      Instructions Parley's assistant carries out on a schedule, as the person
      who created them, with nobody present.
  - name: Skills
    description: >-
      Reusable playbooks for Parley's assistant: a SKILL.md plus optional
      bundled documents, addressed by slug.
  - name: Users
    description: The people in your organization, and the caller.
