Creating Actions For Team Member Using the API

tom at May 5th, 2016 06:06 — #1

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any sample code regarding how to create an action for a contact using the API in PHP. The samples I have found only show how to create a contact. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Tom,

Thanks for getting in touch with your query.

Unfortunately we do not have any examples of how to create using PHP. Now I am no PHP expert, nor have I tested this but I think it may look at little something like this:

// Create Action
echo "Creating action...\n";
$new_action = make_api_call('actions.json', 'POST', array('contact_id' => 'XYZ...', 'date' => 'yyyy-MM-dd', 'text' => 'Next action text here'), $uid, $key);

This should at least get you started!

All the best,
Cillian

Hi Cillian,

This seems to be a great starting point but is there a way to get the contact_id automatically without having to type it in manually for each new contact.

Thanks,
Tom.
