Business Use Case
You can use this API to create a single Survey Invitation. This will follow the rules set up in your Campaign Suite.
Good to Know
Changes to Import Configurations
If a change happens to the implementation of the API (for example a field name change), that should be reflected in the used Inbound Mapping as well. Ignoring to do so will cause the API to silently fail for the fields involved.
Required Fields
The following fields are required in your Inbound Mapping:
Data Type | Required Fields |
Survey |
|
Please note: The telephone field needs to be in a valid phone number format.
We strongly recommend to add only numbers, but the field is restricted to the following characters when importing: numbers, space, parenthesis, dash and plus. Example: +55 (62) 01234-56789
Authentication
OAuth2 Authentication is used to connect to this API. Once you've created your Connected App, you can acquire a Bearer Access Token by calling our OAuth2/Token API:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={{ Client ID }}&client_secret={{ Client Secret }}"
https://auth.{{ apiRegion }}.customergauge.com/oauth2/token
The acquired Bearer Access Token is used in the Authorization header in your API request.
If you can not use OAuth2 Authentication, you can use our Incoming Webhook functionality.
