Create a Lead and Activity
This downloads our complete API collection, including all endpoints—not just this specific endpoint.
Creates a new lead and posts an activity on the lead at the same time.
- You can use the “SearchBy” parameter to specify a parameter to find the lead by (e.g., email address, phone number). If a lead exists with the specified value, it will be updated with any new lead attributes and activity details you pass.
- If a lead doesn’t exist based on the “SearchBy” parameter, a new lead will be created in your account.
- You have to pass the activity event code in the “ActivityEvent” parameter. You can also add values to custom activity fields by specifying the schema name (mx_Custom_1, mx_Custom_2, etc.)
- In order to get the list of all activity event codes, see Get List of Activity Types.
Note:
- The supported DateTime format is UTC (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
- To skip validating dropdown activity fields, pass an additional parameter
"ValidateDropDownOptions" : true. This is helpful if you’re passing drop-down values stored on Mavis DB. - Refer to the sample request to learn how to pass a custom field set to a lead and/or activitiy.
