Creating contact and the status not changing

ynot at June 25th, 2015 15:28 — #1

I'm creating a new contact every time i get a new sale in my shopify store. Thats working fine except the status is staying lead instead of customer. Is there anything special to change or m i doing anything wrong. I'm coding with php using the example provided in github and here's the array i'm creating for it
$contact_data = array( 'first_name' => $json_obj->customer->first_name, 'last_name' => $json_obj->customer->last_name, 'company_name' => $json_obj->shipping_address->company, 'tags' => 'Website Sale', 'status' => 'customer', 'address_list' => array(array( 'address'=> $json_obj->shipping_address->address1, 'city'=> $json_obj->shipping_address->city, 'state'=> $json_obj->shipping_address->province_code, 'zip_code'=> $json_obj->shipping_address->zip, 'country_code'=> $json_obj->shipping_address->country_code )),'phones' => array( array('type' => 'work', 'value' => $json_obj->shipping_address->phone) ), 'emails' => array( array('type' => 'work', 'value' => $json_obj->email) ) );

Hi @ynotYou'll need to make a bit of a change.
The parameter you're looking for is status_id rather than status. As you can change the status name in the web application, we identify the status by it's id.
You can get the correct status id for your status by making a GET request to statuses.json
Then just slightly modify your new contact array.
