CRM – API

Custom Fields Validation

• Previously, we did not have any solid validation for Custom Fields on the Contacts API.
• Locations were storing wrong values into Custom Fields for contacts using our OAuth 2.0 APIs.
  • Eg: Storing an array of strings in a Text or Multi-line Text type of custom field
• We have added validations on the Contacts Create, Update and Insert API to throw an error when someone tries to store wrong/invalid values in a custom field
• We have currently added validations for the following types of custom fields:
  • TEXT
  • LARGE_TEXT
  • NUMERICAL
  • MONETORY
  • FLOAT
  • DATE
• We will be slowly adding more validations for other types of custom fields

  • Added Quick Tips on the Advanced Calendar Settings page (showing tips to users)
