Adding custom activities via REST

I've set up a custom activity and want to add new items to it via the REST API. Every time I try to do that the calls succeeds but I always get a "skipped" message.

This is the input:

"input": [

{

"lead_id": 1,

"attributes": [

{

"name": "shareSubject",

"value": "My Subject"

}

],

"activity_date": "2017-03-05T09:51:00-08:00",

"activity_type_id": 100001,

"primary_attribute_value": "1234"

}

],

This is the result:

"requestId": "4f6e#15f2ef45156",

"result": [

{

"status": "skipped"

}

],

"success": true

Here's the CA definition:

{

"id": 100001,

"name": "SP Content Shared",

"apiName": "spContentShared_c",

"description": "Happens when a rep shares content with the customer",

"primaryAttribute": {

"name": "Sales Collateral",

"apiName": "salesCollateral",

"dataType": "string"

},

"attributes": [

{

"name": "Share Subject",

"apiName": "shareSubject",

"dataType": "string"

}

]

}

Any ideas what is going wrong? Is there a way I can check low level logs for the REST API?

thx

Hi Fred,

Check your activity_type_id - you are submitting the wrong value, as it seems.

Hope that helps.

Paul, "activity_type_id": 100001, and there is "id": 100001 in the CA definition.

The IDs are the same. Why do you think Fred submits a wrong value?

The post has probably been modified since Paul made that call.

If you have a new question on the Activities API, please open a new thread in Products​.

Is lead ID 1 a valid lead?
