Create a Lead and Activity (Async)
Creates a new lead and activity. Functionality is the same as the synchronous Create a Lead and Activity API, with the following differences –
- API host is different, see Async API.
- An additional
x-api-keymust be passed in the header, see Async API. If this header is not passed, the request will not be accepted. - Returns a
RequestIdparameter. This must be passed in the Status API to get the status of the request. - To get metrics for this Async API, see Get Create Lead and Activity Metrics API.
Note:
- The request body is identical to the synchronous Create a Lead and Activity API.
- The supported DateTime format is UTC (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
