REST API always sending responses to contacts when a new incident thread is added
Answer ID 12391   |   Last Review Date 09/12/2022

How do we stop emails from being sent when an incident is updated through the REST API to add a private note?

Environment:
  • Connect REST API, version 1.4
  • Incident creation and update
Issue:
 
A customization is using the REST API to update incidents, and every time this happens an email is sent to the contact. When we add just a private note, we don't want an email to be sent.
 
Resolution:
 
When a contact email should not be sent, use the create or update incident endpoints instead of an incident response.
 
POST /services/rest/connect/v1.4/incidents
PATCH /services/rest/connect/v1.4/incidents/{id}
 
Cause:
 
The customization was only using the create incident response endpoint (POST /services/rest/connect/v1.4/incidentResponse) to update the incidents. This sends a response because that is the purpose of that endpoint.
