  • Re: Character Function: Find in Json

    This response is obviously 4 years late....and somehow fell between the cracks of our support team. But we came upon it and wanted to give an answer for future searches. What you have hear are "nested values".  Like grandparent:parent:child.  "temp" is a child of parent "metric", which is a child of ...

  • Re: API Filter - How to search for a Company Name that has a single quote in it?

    Jamie - Escaping with a redundant quote will do the trick in escaping the url parameter: (i.e. Magnolia''s not Magnolia's) https://rest.method.me/api/v1/tables/Entity?filter=Name eq 'Magnolia''s%20Best%20Storage' Paul

  • Re: API POST Contact / Not OtherName

    "Ok I think the problem I was running into was that I was hitting the Contact end point, and nothing was happening. But I hit the customer end point and it will make the entity, and the contact at the same time?" -Yes. This is correct. -Worth pointing out though, that you may still need to use the Contact end point to ...

  • Re: API POST Contact / Not OtherName

    So, we aren't making this easy on you!   Instead of creating an Entity, create a Customer.   That will automatically create an Entity with EntityType Customer.   Here's one I created using PostMan: https://imgur.com/a/BH1Ezn8 Note, when you create a new Customer, it will automatically create a Contact for ...

  • Re: API POST Contact / Not OtherName

    The Entity ""Supply Central" already existed, and existed as a Vendor. The relationship between an Entity and a Contact is that an Entity have 1 or many Contacts. So I could have: Entity (Customer): Bob Crenshaw Contact 1: Bob Crenshaw Contact 2: Betty Crenshaw Or a business Entity (Customer): XYZ Industries Contact 1: ...

  • Re: API POST Contact / Not OtherName

    Hi there! The Contact should belong to an Entity, otherwise it is orphaned. Entities are existing customers, vendors, or OtherName. This is a JSON I just posted to create a contact: { "FirstName" : "Peter", "LastName" : "Greenman", "Name" : "Peter ...

  • Re: How to Create an Item from API?

    Here's the trick, you need to add to the ItemInventory table, not the Item table. Kinda confusing....but the Item table is more of a "view" of all the types of item tables.  And yes, we should be making that more obvious via the API. I tried, using PostMan to create an item in the ItemInventory table, and can confirm that ...

  • Re: How to Create an Item from API?

    Jamie - I'll try a quick answer before the support and/or product teams chime in. On first glance, I would try a few things: a) Don't include FullName. FullName is really a calculated field. It figures out FullName based on the Name as as well as the reference to a Parent, if there is one.  I wonder if including FullName is throwing ...

  • Re: Creating lead

    Hi Gurdeep. Customers & Leads are stored in the same Customer table, and it is more of a master table.  Contacts are more of a child table.  So, in other words, a Customer or Lead could have multiple contacts associated with them. When you create a customer or lead it automatically creates a single Contact with it. Best ...

  • Re: Payment postback

    Aswin - I suggest (as a best practice that will save you lots of time!) to first try putting through a couple of payments, manually, via the Method web app.  That way you see the field values the UI is expecting, which should match the field values the API would also be expecting.
