API: assign opportunity owner

API Q&A
1

Hi, there is an old unanswered topic Not able to map user to opportunity through API

It seems that it’s still actual. I’m trying to assign an owner to a newly-created opportunity using the latest PHP SDK to no avail.

            $opportunity = $client->opportunities()->create([
                'opportunity_title' => $data['opportunityTitle'],
                'opportunity_notes' => $data['opportunityNotes'],
                'contact'           => [
                    'id'            => $data['contactId'],
                    'email'         => $data['email'],
                    'phone_number'  => $data['phone']
                ],
                'stage'             => [
                    'id' => 123
                ]
            ]);

            // so far so good

            $opportunity->user = [
                'id' => 123456
            ]; // does nothing

            $opportunity->setAttribute('user', [
                'id' => 12345
            ]); // still no luck

            $opportunity->save();

So the question is, do we have a way to assign opportunity owners by API? PHP SKD docs are a bit thin. Am I missing something?

You should be able to set the user property on the model to the local userId of the intended target in the application; however, you will also need to have the Opportunity > Can Reassign permission on the context of the user doing the reassignment.

TomScott thanks for the advice. However, it turns out that the source of the issue is not a lack of permissions, but a bug in IS PHP SDK: opportunity->save() results in 405 "method not allowed" error · Issue #195 · infusionsoft/infusionsoft-php · GitHub
Unfortunately there is no reaction on the mentioned issue for almost two weeks.

…in the meantime, there is my workaround using a raw API call:

            $opportunity = $isoft->opportunities()->create([
                'opportunity_title' => $data['opportunityTitle'],
                'opportunity_notes' => $data['opportunityNotes'],
                'contact' => [
                    'id'           => $data['contactId'],
                    'email'        => $data['email'],
                    'phone_number' => $data['phone']
                ],
                'stage' => [
                    'id' => 123
                ]
            ]);

            // $http here refers to GuzzlePHP, but any http client will work
            $http->request(
                'PATCH',
                "https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v1/opportunities/{$opportunity->id}",
                [
                    'headers' => [
                        'Authorization' => "Bearer {$isoftToken}"
                    ],
                    'json' => ['user' => [
                        'id' => $opportunityOwnerId
                    ]]
                ]
            );
