Adding an App Reference or Appending a Text Field

Is there any way to do either of these things through the API? Or do I need to pull in the existing value and append values manually?

I have a MailChimp webhook that is putting data into Podio for our sales team, and I would like to be able to update fields without overwriting what is there sometimes.

Thank you,
Tim

  When updating a field value you always replace all existing values. So if you want to append additional values you first have to fetch existing values.

  Did you eventually get this to work? I'm having an issue updating the app reference field type after appending new info to the field value and attempting to update...

  $asssociated_contacts = PodioItem::get_field_value( $_POST['item_id'], $contacts_field_id );
  $asssociated_contacts[]['value'] = get_object_vars($contact_object_to_add);
  PodioItemField::update( $_POST['item_id'], $contacts_field_id , array('value' => $asssociated_contacts));

  Throwing an error. Help!

  Hi Davin,

  It's almost always easier to work with the Podio objects rather than calling static methods. There are guides if you start here and read the following two sections as well: http://podio.github.io/podio-php/objects/
