Activate a form

POST /v1/crm-forms/:id/activate

Bitrix24 method: crm.form.activate (REST v3).

Scope: crm. Requires a READWRITE key.

Behavior and parameters

Activates a form after Bitrix24 checks its configuration and the active-form limit. The limit is limits.activeForms in builder configuration. An optional updatedTime enables optimistic locking. The response contains the actual active and updatedTime values.

Bitrix24 does not perform writes on free or demo plans. Permissions, quota and business rules are checked by Bitrix24.

Example

  -H 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'

For an OAuth application, use its key and the Authorization: Bearer USER_SESSION_TOKEN header.

JSON 
{"success":true,"data":{"active":true,"updatedTime":"2026-10-22T12:00:00Z"}}
