API Create Constituent - POST to CRM/Constituents/Snapshot

Jason Andrea

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but...

I've done various things with Tessitura's API, including GETS and POST etc... POSTS I've done to Custom/Execute for hitting my stored procedures. The REST client testing site is great for the Custom/Execute, because is gives me a JSON sample of how to structure the POST. I'm not finding the same kind of help for how to structure the JSON for POST to CRM/Constituents/Snapshot.

I simply want to create a constituent from an electronicAddress... so maybe this is better: CRM/Constituents/Detail

Regardless, I only want to send in an email. Can anybody give me some sample JSON that should work? I'm getting an error such as:

stdClass Object ( [success] => [status] => Bad Request [error] => [ { "Code": "FIELD_CANNOT_BE_NULL", "Description": "Field 'constituentSnapshot' cannot be null or empty."

Is it something like this:

{
  "constituentSnapshot": {
    "electronicAddress": "billy.jack@gmail.com"
    }
}

Thanks!

    I might be making progress... now the error is: stdClass Object ( [success] => [status] => Bad Request [error] => [ { "Code": "FIELD_CANNOT_BE_NULL", "Description": "Field 'constituentSnapshot.ConstituentType' cannot be null or empty.

    So now I need to structure a ConstituentType, but for a brand new constituent....

    The REST tool help says this, but I don't know any of this... it's a new constituent?

    "ConstituentType": { "Description": "sample string 1", "Id": 1, "Inactive": true, "ConstituentGroup": { "Description": "sample string 1", "Id": 1, "Inactive": true } },

     

    But it also says none of this is "Required", so not sure what to think.

    Yep, it created the const right away when i temporarily turned the requirement for postal address off.

    The only thing I'm wondering about now, is that the Tess API also required me to add a LastName along with the email I POSTED. I couldn't pass a NULL for LastName either. Is there a way to turn off the LastName requirement like there is Primary Address? I was hoping to just send an email and create a constituent.

     "Code": "PARAMETER_SHOULD_NOT_BE_NULL_OR_EMPTY", "Description": "The parameter should not be null or empty.", "Details": null, "ErrorPath": "LastName" }
