Appointments APIs

The Appointments module contains the customer details, service information, date and time of the appointment based on customer's choice and availability. A sales representative books an appointment every time a contact requests for a service from your company. Appointments APIs allow you to get, create, update, and delete them. They also allow you to set appointment preferences depending on various business needs.

READ - Get appointments data

Parameters
  • fieldsstring, mandatory when fetching all appointments data

    To list all the appointments data with respect to the fields that you specify in this parameter. Note that you can include a maximum of 50 field API names in this parameter. The GET Fields API will give you the existing field API names in the Appointments module.
    Possible values: Multiple field API names, comma separated. For example: Last_Name,Email.

  • cvidlong, optional

    To get the list of appointments present in a custom view that you specify in this key. You can get the custom view ID from the GET Custom Views API. You cannot use this param with the "sort_by" param.
    Possible values: {custom_view_id}.

  • page_tokenstring, mandatory to fetch more than 2000 appointments by pagination

    You can use the "page" param to fetch up to 2000 appointments without "page_token". To fetch more than 2000 appointments, you must include the "page_token" param in the request. This param takes the value from the key "next_page_token" in the response of the first GET Appointments call. This token value is user-specific and if you use another user's token, the system will throw an error.
    The page token is bound to parameters and expires in 24 hours. Also, you cannot use this param with the "page" param.

  • pageinteger, optional

    To get the list of appointments from the respective pages. The default value is 1. Note that you cannot use this param with the "page_token" param.
    Possible values: Positive integer values only.

  • per_pageinteger, optional

    To get the list of appointments available per page. The default and the maximum possible value is 200.
    Possible values: Positive integer values only.

  • sort_orderstring, optional

    To sort the available list of appointments in either ascending or descending order.
    Possible values: asc - ascending order, desc - descending order. The default value is 'desc'.

  • sort_bystring, optional

    To sort the appointments based on the fields id, Created_Time, and Modified_Time. Note that you cannot use this param with the "cvid" param. The default field is 'id'.

Note
  • sort_order applies to given sort_by field.

  • If your requirement is to fetch under 2000 appointments, use the "page" and "per_page" parameters (page=1 to 10, per_page=200).

  • If you want to paginate for more than 2000 appointments, use the "page_token" parameter you receive in the first response. You will have to pass the page token received from the response with param page=10 to get records from 2001 to 2200. If there are more appointments, the API responses, will have "next_page_token" and "previous_page_token" for easy pagination.
    Using the page tokens from the consecutive requests, you can navigate and fetch up to 100,000 appointments.

  • In both the above scenarios, the maximum appointments per request will be only 200.

  • Subform data will not be retrieved, while retrieving multiple appointments. You have to specify the individual appointment ID in the request URL to fetch the data in the subform.

  • The value of the fields with sensitive health data will be retrieved only when Restrict Data access through API option in the compliance settings is disabled. If the option is enabled, the value will be null. Refer to HIPAA compliance for more details.
