Go to API overview

These are a groups of cohesive actions. These are typically called 'cases' in the web application. The web application's terminology section allows these to be renamed, but they are always called 'referrals' in the API.

Typically, you might get referrals with at least a project and date filter, like this:

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/referrals/date/2022-01-01,2022-12-31/project/1;2;3

The filter 'date' is the new referral date, i.e. the date of the first done_contact on the referral. If you want all referrals with a done_contact during the date range, use 'date_active', like this:

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/referrals/date_active/2022-01-01,2022-12-31/project/1;2;3


To create a referral, post to the endpoint, like this:

[POST] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/referrals

The body should be x-wwww-form-urlencoded, and contain the following keys and values:

client
client_type
date
project
template
stage
description

If using a branch system, 'branch' is also required.

Optionally, you can also add:

project_category
contact_method
funding_sponsor
contact_type
referrer
introduction_source
additional_org_person
priority

Note that, unlike the web app, referrals cannot be created with an outstanding action. As such, they will be marked as completed (and closed if the project is set to automatically close completed referrals). The due_contacts endpoint can be called using the returned referral id to add outstanding actions afterwards.
