Post an Activity on a Lead (Async)

Posts an activity on a lead. Functionality is the same as the synchronous Post Activity on Lead API, with the following differences –

  1. API host is different, see Async API.
  2. The URL is slightly different (see API URL below).
  3. An additional x-api-key must be passed in the header, see Async API. Content-Type is application-json.
  4. Returns a RequestId parameter in the response. This must be passed in the Status API to get the status of the request.
  5. To get metrics for this Async API, see Get Post Activity on Lead Metrics API.
