The POST User API
allows a new user to be added to FormsFly programatically.
POST Request
You may use either JSON or XML formats in your request.
You indicate this by setting the ContentType HTTP header as “application/json” or “application/xml”. If no ContentType is specified, XML format is assumed.
The required and optional parameters for a POST to the Users API are outlined below.
| Parameter Name | Data Type | Required | Description |
| SUser | SUser | Yes | The User that you wish to create. See the SUser type definition from the GET above. |
POST Response
The data returned from a SUser POST is provided as follows:
SUser Response (<SUserResponse>)
| Field Name | Data Type | Description |
| SUser | SUser | The User created. |
| ResponseStatus | ResponseStatus | Details of any errors that may have occurred |
SUser (<SUser>) Response Fields
The SUser returned is only populated with the following fields:
| Field Name | Data Type | Description |
| Id | GUID | Unique identifier of the new User |
| Status | String | Status of this User which will be set to Invited |
API Usage Example
Given that the API is REST based, you can access the API directly via your web browser to test it. Obviously for actual integration works, you will need to make a web request to the given REST URL and then parse the response.
Below is a simple POST example which creates a User, using XML format.
Content-Type: application/xml Content-Length: length <SUser> <Email>String</Email> <ExternalId>String</ExternalId> <FirstName>String</FirstName> <Folders> <Id>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</Id> </Folders> <Groups> <Id>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</Id> </Groups> <Id>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</Id> <IntegrationKey>String</IntegrationKey> <LastName>String</LastName> <Password>String</Password> <ProviderId>0</ProviderId> <Status>String</Status> <WebsiteRole>String</WebsiteRole> </SUser>
