Voyado Engage

Find contact

Use this endpoint to check if a certain contact exists in Engage:

/api/v2/contacts/id

To this you can send one (or several) of the following parameters:

email

GET /api/v2/contacts/id?email=john.doe%40gmail.com

mobilePhone

GET /api/v2/contacts/id?mobilePhone=%2B46735654321

socialSecurityNumber

Although it's called socialSecurityNumber (sometimes SSN) in Engage, this is really the Swedish personal identity number (or the Finnish personal identity code). Keep this in mind.

GET /api/v2/contacts/id?socialSecurityNumber=196903027573

customKey

As the customKey value you can send either a contact's memberNumber or externalId, depending on how your tenant is set up. Your Voyado Engage team can help you here.

GET /api/v2/contacts/id?customKey=999888777

any

The "any" parameter will, as the name suggests, accept any of the above values. They are scanned in the following order: email, socialSecurityNumber, mobilePhone and then customKey.

For example:

GET /api/v2/contacts/id?any=john.doe%40gmail.com

GET /api/v2/contacts/id?any=999888777

Note

The contactType can also be sent in the query string along with the above parameters but it is not required.

Responses

If the request has been successful, meaning the contact exists, you'll get a HTTP 200 OK response along with the contactId which is the unique identifier for your contact and looks something like this: "2e40b702-2767-4abe-ae99-aa510108e22b"

This contactId is what you will then use to fetch the contact's data.

If the request has not been successful, you'll get one of the following HTTP error codes:

  • 400: InvalidEmailAddress, InvalidPhoneNumber, InvalidSocialSecurityNumber, InvalidContactType, InvalidSearchQuery

  • 404: ContactNotFound

  • 409: MultipleMatches

  • 500: InvalidSystemConfiguration

Note

Response codes could change, so always check your Swagger page to see the latest ones.
