Manual data migration: how to create email message records via API?

nathanielf at March 27th, 2020 21:40 — #1

I need to augment our Highrise data migration with records of emails sent over the years (I don't want to send them, I want to record them with the correct dates from the page).

Is there some way to achieve this? Or can I maybe use notes to fake it? I can't see mention in the API docs for creation of email as records.

Hi nathanielf,

Unfortunately we do not expose emails record creation over the API. These records are only created when emails are sent through OnePageCRM. There is no way to create historic email records.

Depending on your use case you should be able to "fake it" by creating notes that represent these emails. The notes endpoint supports the editing of the date field so you will be able to maintain the correct dates taken from Highrise.
See the documentation for note creation here: https://developer.onepagecrm.com/api/#/Notes/post_notes
