About

Redtail CRM ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 25 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Redtail is a CRM built for financial advisors: a Contact (person, business, trust or association) sits at the center, with addresses, notes, scheduled activities (tasks, appointments, phone calls) and sales opportunities hung off it. This app covers that core over Redtail’s public REST API (crm.redtailtechnology.com/api/public/v1, documented at documenter.getpostman.com/view/7873823): creating, finding, updating and deleting contacts; managing their addresses and notes; scheduling and completing activities, optionally linked to a contact; and running opportunities through a sales pipeline.

Good for syncing new leads/clients from a signup or intake form, logging a call or meeting note against the right contact from another tool’s event, creating follow-up tasks tied to a contact, or keeping an opportunity’s stage and amount current as a deal progresses elsewhere.

Build with Redtail CRM

Three routes to the same 25 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Redtail CRM's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Activity

activity-create

Schedule an activity (task, appointment or call), optionally linked to a contact.

Delete Activity

activity-delete

Delete an activity. Redtail answers 204 No Content on success.

Get Activity

activity-get

Get a single activity by id.

List Activities

activity-list

List scheduled activities (tasks, appointments, calls), optionally within a date range.

Update Activity

activity-update

Update an activity — including marking it complete. Only the fields provided are changed.

Create Contact Address

contact-address-create

Add an address to a contact.

Delete Contact Address

contact-address-delete

Delete a contact's address. Redtail answers 204 No Content on success.

List Contact Addresses

contact-address-list

List a contact's addresses.

Update Contact Address

contact-address-update

Update a contact's address. Redtail answers 204 No Content on success.

Create Contact

Delete Contact

contact-delete

Delete a contact. Redtail answers 204 No Content on success.

Get Contact

contact-get

Get a single contact by id.

List Contacts

contact-list

List contacts in the connected database, page by page.

Search Contacts

contact-search

Search contacts by name, type, status, category, tax id, account number, phone, email, or last-updated date.

Update Contact

contact-update

Update a contact. Only the fields provided are changed.

List Database Users

database-user-list

Create Contact Note

note-create

Log a note against a contact.

Delete Contact Note

note-delete

Delete a note from a contact. Redtail answers 204 No Content on success.

List Contact Notes

Delete a sales opportunity. Redtail answers 204 No Content on success.

Get Opportunity

opportunity-get

Get a single sales opportunity by id.

List Opportunities

opportunity-list

List sales opportunities, optionally filtered by contact or pipeline stage.

List Opportunity Stages

opportunity-stage-list

List the pipeline stages this database's opportunities can be in — useful for populating a stage selector elsewhere in a workflow.

Update Opportunity

opportunity-update

Update a sales opportunity — including moving it to a new pipeline stage. Redtail answers 204 No Content on success. Only the fields provided are changed.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Redtail CRM's real ids.

+20 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Redtail CRM, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Redtail CRM. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "activity-create",
  payload: {
    subject: "<value>",
    // activityCodeId: "<value>",
    // categoryId: "<value>",
    // allDay: "<value>",
    // startDate: "<value>",
    // endDate: "<value>",
    // description: "<value>",
    // location: "<value>",
    // contactId: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action activity-create --payload '{"subject":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Redtail CRM — without giving it Redtail CRM's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.redtail-crm#activity-create",
    "input": {
      "subject": "<subject>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Redtail CRM connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Redtail CRM's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Redtail CRM itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Redtail CRM declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Redtail platform status

Atlassian Statuspage rollup for status.redtailtechnology.com, scoped to the 'Redtail API (REST)' component — the sibling 'Redtail CRM'/'Redtail Imaging'/'Redtail Email'/'Retriever' components are unrelated to this app. Unauthenticated and unsigned.
