NEST Web API with C#: Using JSON objects to create and associate Accounts with Contacts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by mark66221 10

We are using a Json object in C# to pass values to POST a new Account to our CRM.  Along with this we are passing the primarycontactid with values for first and last name.

This creates the Account along with a Contact that is associated to the Account as the primarycontact.

I t does not associate the Contact to the Account.

we would like to do this all with one call so are there any suggestions on how we should do this?

we are using httpClient1.PostAsync

Here is the current JSON:

accountnumber: "4"

primarycontactid: " 'firstname': 'John' 'lastname': 'Smith' "

name: "Amarillo College VN"

address1_line1: "6222 W. 9th Ave"

address1_city: "Amarillo"

address1_stateorprovince: "Texas"

address1_country: "USA"

address1_postalcode: "79106"

also where can we find out about any more of these tricks where we could consolidate multiple tasks within 1 request?

    Hello,

    Check this - docs.microsoft.com/.../create-entity-web-api

    It looks close enough to what you try to perform.

    Hi,

    Have you tried to modify the value of primarycontactid with the GUID of the contact instead of the first name and last name?

    The GUID of the contact can be found in the URL of the contact’s main form.
