Delete a tag

DELETE /tags/:id

Response

The response sends back the id that was just deleted.

{
  "deleted": true,
  "id": 31
}

Associate a tag to a contact

A tag is only useful if linked to a contact. To associate a tag to a contact, simply call the following method and give an array of tag name. The call automatically manages whether a tag with the given name already exists and will only create tags that do not exist yet.

Let's say that you have one tag in your account, called family. Let's also assume that you are sending this array:

{
  "tags": ["family", "friend"]
}

friend does not exist yet in the user's account, therefore it will be automatically created, whereas the family tag will not be created and only be associated with the contact.

Please note that calling this method will add the given tags to the contact without removing those which might already be associated with the contact.

POST /contacts/:id/setTags

Parameters

Name Type Description
tags array Required. A list of tags, as string, separated by a comma.

Example

{
  "tags": ["family", "friend"]
}

Response

The response sends back a standard Contact object.

Remove a specific tag from a contact

The call lets you remove one or multiple tags from a contact. The difference with the tag creation method is the fact that this call accepts a list of ids of the tags, not a list of tag names. This is because when you create a tag, you don't want to deal with creating a tag first, then take the id and pass it to the creation method call. However, when you remove a tag, you know the id of the tag you want to remove.

The call does not delete the actual tag. It only removes the association.

POST /contacts/:id/unsetTag

Parameters

Name Type Description
tags array Required. A list of tag ids, as integer, separated by a comma.

Example

{
  "tags": [1]
}

Response

The response sends back a standard Contact object.
