Re: API Add_Record using URL Alternative and Field NAMEs rather than ID
@austink
"Why are you unable to use the field ID in this specific case? I'm just curious why that would be a limitation."
Homeadvisor post using a "simple" http post method that does not allow them to post using "custom fields." Dumbest thing ever... they can only post using their field names period. No way around it.
The solution, without using zapier, was to create a specific table with field names that would match theirs. once it comes into QB table, then I can auto-webhook it to drop into the proper table using field IDs and proper field types.
see their attached http instructions.
