API Name for forms?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to create a custom field...what is the API name? It is required.

Thanks!

Recommend to look at Marketo's API and to try to follow their naming conventions because the API will be published whether you use it or not. You'll also need to specify an unique API name in all the custom fields. It maybe better to have a naming convention so you'll be able to know which APIs you've created.

The reason it is there is that usually APIs would rather not have spaces in names of things. If you don't use it, put in anything.

The API Name is used by the SOAP API and other backend processes. I usually keep it the same as the regular field name.
