API Q&A
1

Hello Team,

I am not able to add contact’s with custom field value.

Below is my code:

$infusionsoft->setToken(unserialize($rowGetInfo[“token”]));

$arr[]=array(“id”=>84,“content”=>“fhggfjhgdsfjhgsdhfgsfgjhgdfjhsdgf”);

$contact = [
            ‘FirstName’ => ‘aaa’,
            ‘LastName’ => ‘zzz’,
            ‘Email’ => ‘aaavv@com.au’,
            ‘custom_fields’=>$arr
            ];

$infusionsoft->contacts(‘xml’)->add($contact);

but I’m getting an error field not found.

Fatal error: Uncaught fXmlRpc\Exception\FaultException: [NoFieldFound]No field found: Contact.custom_fields in /home/yupitcom/public_html/IS/vendor/lstrojny/fxmlrpc/src/fXmlRpc/Exception/FaultException.php:32

Hi @Sunny_Gajjar if you are trying to create the contact with just a single custom field, you can just do something simple like:

$contact = [
            "FirstName" => "aaa",
            "LastName" => "zzz",
            "Email" => "aaavv@com.au",
            "_customFieldName" => "custom field value"
];

You can find your custom field names here: https://YOUR_APP_NAME.infusionsoft.com/Admin/custom/popup/customFieldDetails.jsp?table=Contact. This is typically found under Admin > Settings. Here is a help article on creating custom fields that has more information about where they can be found.

Thanks @Carlos_Ochoa

But I need to add value using custom field’s ID not using a custom field’s name.

No problem. The only way to use custom field id’s is with the REST API. Here are the docs for creating a contact in the REST API. The legacy XMLRPC API uses the custom field “database name”, at least for contact creation.

5

Is it possible when contact details update that time custom field value adding using id in XMLRPC API?

6

No, the XML-RPC does not use field Ids to identify custom fields.

Ok, Thank you @TomScott @Carlos_Ochoa
