Answered

Hi,

I'm currently working with the Podio API and we are trying to add new items with a relationship to another item.

We have an app called "Bugs" which we are using for bug tracking and within this app a relationship field: "Customer Interest" which references a contact from a Contacts application in a different workspace (CRM).

Accessing Podio as usual (through the web interface), when adding a new bug item, I can begin to type a customer's name in the field and it lists matching customers for me to select.

From the API I can see I need to pass in the item ID for the contact I wish to add however I'm having trouble finding the contact's ID.

Could you detail how best to find a contact's ID based on their name through the API. Our workspaces are setup so that not all users have direct access to the CRM workspace (and therefore contacts app) but allow us to search for contacts when adding a new bug item etc.

I hope that makes sense!

Regards,

Dave

  Hi Dave,

  take a look at https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/find-referenceable-items-22485

  Doesn't that do exactly what you need?

  Best,
  Stefan

  Hi Stefan,

  Thanks for your response, that looks like it'll work - was searching for API endpoints like "relationship" and "contact" so must have skipped over this one!

  Thanks again,

  Dave
