Introduction

Please note that: the author_uid should be the same as requested_by_uid OR reference a User with an admin role

​
Custom forms

When submitting custom_form_inputs[], you can use arbitrary forms and native forms You can actually send a mix of Arbitrary and Native forms as long as the native form are valid. An example payload would be: 
// POST https://api.siit.io/v1/requests
{
  "title": "Request from API with forms",
  "submitted_from": "employee_portal",
  "author": "U1",
  "requested_by": "U1",
  "target_uid": "wa_xxxxx",
  "custom_form_inputs": [
    { "label": "An arbitrary field", "value": "With its arbitrary value"},
    { "uid": "custom_input_longprefix", "value": "string or uid or array or number depending on the configuration" }
  ]
}
NB: we currently don’t allow uploading custom form files at the moment via the public API.

​
Arbitrary forms

You can submit arbitrary values by sending custom_form_inputs[] items with the format 
{ "label": "string", "value": "string" }
This is a good way to store extra information, but cannot be picked by workflows.

​
Native forms

Native custom forms are always scoped by Service object. If you submit at least one native form, then the whole custom form validation logic will run (e.g if you have a field that is required and missing on the payload, it will fail the creation of the request). So the flow to use them is to:
  1. retrieve the custom forms from the target you’re planning on submitting GET https://api.siit.io/v1/services/wa_xxxx endpoint (custom_form_input_configuration[])
  2. add the custom_form_inputs[] to your request creation payload
{ "uid": "custom_input_yyyy", "value": "item | items[]" }
Where item should be an array if the custom form input is multiple. If you have workflows configured targeting those fields, they will properly run at the request creation except in the case of a batch import.
