Hi all,

Is it possible to pass nested objects as contact’s custom fields to Freshdesk API?

An example object would look as follows:

(simplified POST request to /api/v2/contacts)

{
    “body”: {

        “name”: “test name”,

        “unique_external_id”: “test_uuid”,

        “custom_fields”: {

            “objects”: i

                “object_1_id”: {

                    “id”: “object_1_id”,

                    “name”: “test name 1”

                },

                “object_2_id”: {

                    “id”: “object_2_id”,

                    “name”: “test name 2”

                },

            ]

        }

    }

}

 

Or is it only possible to pass simple JSON that would contain simple key: value pairs like object_1_id: id, object_1_name: name etc.?

Greetings @bsmietana. Thanks for contacting Freshworks community. 

I understand your interest in using dependent fields for contacts. Unfortunately, at this time, it is not possible to use nested fields for contacts or companies in Freshdesk. However, I have submitted this as a feature request to our team. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Thank you.
