Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

More than 100 read and non-destructive operations across forms, programs, smart campaigns, people/leads, emails, snippets, lists and folders; destructive delete operations are excluded

02 · Data you can retrieve

03 · Actions and write paths
