Our REST web service to allow you to add contacts into your Enudge account programmatically can be accessed via the following endpoint:
https://www.enudge.com.au/api/addContact.php
or
https://www.enudge.com.au/api/addContact_v2.php
Version 2 includes the extra fields: custom1, custom2, custom3, custom4, custom5, custom6, custom7, custom8, custom9 and notes.

You can submit using a GET to return a list of available and required parameters. These are also listed below for your easy reference for API version 1 and version 2.  

Mandatory parameters:

  • At least one of email_addr and mobile must be supplied.

  • You must include your Enudge License number.  If you don't have that, please send a request to Enudge support for this value.

Validation rules are applied for the following parameters:

  • year_of_birth can only be a four digit number e.g. 1986

  • categories can contain one or more category names separated via a ':' e.g. "first category:2nd category"

  • gender can only be "f" or "m"

  • series_id can only be an integer, and it must correspond to the ID of your Message Series in your Enudge account

  • license will be supplied to you by Enudge, upon your request

When submitted successfully, the API will respond with:
"message[0]": "Request Processed OK : Successfully added."

FAQs:

  1. What happens if I submit a contact who is already in my account? Answer: the pre-existing contact is updated. Any new values are saved, any pre-existing values not passed in the API call are left unchanged.

  2. How do I get my Enudge Licence number? Answer: if that has already been issued, you can view it via your Enudge Account screen, accessed by clicking on your name in the top right hand corner.

  3. How can I test the API call? Answer: we recommend that you use a tool such as Postman to test calling the API.

  4. I am not a developer; how else can I add contacts into my Enudge account after they have filled in a web form? Answer: there are 3 other options: 1/ using an Enudge widget will allow you to show a form in your website which is integrated with your Enudge account. 2/ If you can't add a widget, then you can use an Enudge hosted form. 3/ If you have a Zapier account, you can send contacts into your Enudge account via a Zap.
